Recruiting studies
- NCT03175718Recruiting
Pre-surgery radiation to reduce complications after leg sarcoma surgery
This study looks at whether giving radiation before surgery can lower wound healing problems and improve outcomes after operating on a leg soft-tissue sarcoma. It focuses on patients whose surgeons can close the wound directly after surgery and who can return for follow-up visits.
Ottawa, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT03382158Recruiting
Learn about DICER1-related tumors through a patient registry
This registry collects information about people with known or suspected DICER1-related conditions, including certain rare chest and other tumor types. It helps doctors and researchers understand these conditions better and may support future studies.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges birth–100 years - NCT03465592RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Nivolumab after mismatched bone marrow transplant for sarcoma
This trial studies nivolumab (an immune treatment) in people with sarcoma who already had a partially mismatched bone marrow transplant. It may help the new immune system recognize and attack cancer, and researchers will also watch closely for side effects like GVHD (immune reaction after transplant) and autoimmune problems.
St. Petersburg, FloridaAges 1–40 - NCT03548428RecruitingPhase 2
Targeted radiation for a small number of sarcoma metastases
This Phase 2 trial tests a highly focused radiation treatment to shrink sarcoma that has spread to a limited number of spots in the body. It may help control disease while limiting radiation to healthier tissue.
BordeauxAges 18 years+ - NCT03624244RecruitingPhase 2
Stopping or continuing hormone pill for low-grade uterine cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests whether it is better to stop a hormone tablet (an aromatase inhibitor) versus keep taking it in people with low-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma whose cancer is currently controlled. It may help find the safest way to maintain disease control while avoiding unnecessary treatment if stopping is possible.
BesançonAges 18 years+ - NCT03715933RecruitingPhase 1
Test drug INBRX-109 for advanced or metastatic solid tumors
This Phase 1 trial tests INBRX-109, a cancer-targeting drug, in people whose solid cancers are locally advanced or spread to other parts of the body. Because it’s Phase 1, the main goal is to see whether it’s safe and how well it can work for different tumor types that meet specific requirements.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 12–85 - NCT03805022RecruitingPhase 3
Extra chemotherapy around surgery for high-risk soft-tissue sarcoma
This trial tests whether giving stronger chemotherapy before and/or after surgery helps people with high-risk, resectable soft-tissue sarcoma. It aims to lower the chance the cancer comes back by improving treatment around the time of the operation.
BordeauxAges 18 years+ - NCT03818412Recruiting
Liquid biopsy for soft tissue sarcoma
This study checks if a blood test can detect DNA from soft tissue sarcomas. The goal is to see if circulating tumor DNA can help doctors monitor the disease and plan treatment.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT03823144Recruiting
Imaging small live tumor details during surgery
This study uses a special camera to look at solid tumors from inside the body during an operation. It tests whether “live” tumor imaging (using a medicine called fluorescein) can be safely performed in people with certain solid cancers.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT03838718Recruiting
Registry study for adults after retroperitoneal sarcoma surgery
This study follows adults who have had surgery for a retroperitoneal sarcoma. It collects clinical and imaging information after treatment to better understand outcomes and guide future care.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04031677RecruitingPhase 3
Surgery with or without chemotherapy for high-risk retroperitoneal sarcoma
This trial studies whether adding chemotherapy before surgery helps people with high-risk retroperitoneal (abdominal-area) leiomyosarcoma or liposarcoma. The goal is to improve outcomes while comparing surgery alone versus surgery plus neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT04040205RecruitingPhase 2
Abemaciclib for sarcoma with specific cell-growth gene changes
This trial tests abemaciclib (a cancer medicine) in adults with advanced, unresectable bone or soft-tissue sarcoma that has certain gene changes in the “CDK pathway.” It aims to shrink tumors or slow growth in people whose tumors match the study’s biomarker and lab requirements.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT04072042RecruitingPhase 2
Test a VEGFR2 drug for sarcoma with lung lesions
This Phase 2 study tests a VEGFR2-targeted medicine in people with advanced or metastatic sarcoma whose cancer cannot be fully removed by surgery. It focuses on participants who have lung (pulmonary) lesions and whose prior standard chemotherapy did not work, to see if the biomarker-driven approach can improve outcomes.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 8–65 - NCT04219202Recruiting
Pre-surgery radiation for retroperitoneal soft tissue cancer
This study tests giving special radiation (ions) before surgery for a specific cancer in the back of the abdomen (retroperitoneal soft tissue sarcoma). The goal is to shrink or control the tumor so surgery may be safer or more effective.
HeidelbergAges 18 years+ - NCT04305691RecruitingPhase 2
Ixazomib for skin Kaposi sarcoma in people with HIV
This trial studies ixazomib (a targeted anti-cancer medicine) to treat cutaneous (skin) Kaposi sarcoma. It aims to shrink measurable skin lesions and improve symptoms, especially in people living with HIV.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04303117RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Test drug PDS01ADC alone and with immunotherapy for Kaposi sarcoma
This Phase 1/2 study tests PDS01ADC, a targeted cancer drug, for advanced Kaposi sarcoma (KS). It also studies how well the drug works when added to the immunotherapy M7824, especially if KS has not responded to prior treatments.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–99 - NCT04307277RecruitingPhase 3
Checking chemotherapy before and after surgery for high-risk sarcoma
This Phase 3 trial tests whether giving chemotherapy around the time of surgery (before/after) can improve outcomes for people with high-risk localized soft-tissue sarcoma. It uses special tumor testing (CINSARC) to help identify higher-risk patients who may benefit.
BesançonAges 18 years+ - NCT04383119RecruitingPhase 2
Study for advanced leiomyosarcoma after prior chemo
This Phase 2 trial studies how well gemcitabine or trabectedin works for people with leiomyosarcoma that cannot be fully removed or has spread. It’s for tumors that have grown or worsened despite prior standard chemotherapy.
Bologna, BOAges 18 years+ - NCT04461171Recruiting
Better recovery steps after surgery for arm or leg tumors
This trial looks at whether an organized “enhanced recovery” plan can help people recover better after surgery for a suspected sarcoma in the arm or leg. If you’re having surgery at Vanderbilt, it may support faster, smoother recovery regardless of whether you use opioid pain medicine before surgery.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT04506008RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation followed by surgery for soft tissue sarcoma
This trial tests a treatment plan where you first get a shorter (hypofractionated) course of radiation and then have surgery to remove the tumor. It may help control the cancer locally in certain soft tissue sarcomas and improve surgical outcomes.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT04515459RecruitingPhase 2
Pre-surgery exercise and care program for limb sarcoma
This Phase 2 trial tests a “prehabilitation” program done before surgery to help people with arm or leg (limb) sarcoma be better prepared for their operation. It may help improve how well patients tolerate treatment and recover by planning supportive care around the weeks before surgery.
ToulouseAges 16 years+ - NCT04535271RecruitingPhase 2
Trabectedin, gemcitabine, and dacarbazine for advanced leiomyosarcoma
This Phase 2 study tests a combination of three anti-cancer medicines to shrink or control leiomyosarcoma that cannot be fully removed by surgery or has spread. It may help people whose cancer has grown after prior treatment.
Santa Monica, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04605770RecruitingPhase 2
Pemetrexed and cisplatin for advanced soft tissue cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests whether pemetrexed plus cisplatin can shrink advanced or metastatic soft tissue sarcoma. It may help people whose cancer has spread and who can safely receive chemotherapy.
