Recruiting studies
- NCT00579566Recruiting
Research study using removed tissue from soft-tissue sarcoma
This study looks at tissue (samples taken during diagnosis or treatment) to learn new biological and molecular clues about soft-tissue sarcoma. Participating mainly helps researchers collect usable tissue that would otherwise be discarded.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges Any age - NCT06073067Recruiting
GRID therapy for extremity soft tissue sarcoma
This trial tests a special type of radiation called GRID therapy for soft tissue sarcomas in the arm or leg. It may be an option for people who have not had radiation to that area before and whose tumor was not completely removed by surgery.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT06943612Recruiting
Studying colon surgery in retroperitoneal sarcoma patients
This study looks at people with rare abdominal sarcomas who also had part of their colon removed during surgery. It aims to understand how these combined surgeries affect outcomes, helping doctors better care for future patients.
Mannheim, Baden-WurttembergAges 18 years+ - NCT07507773RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation before surgery for limb or trunk wall sarcoma
This trial tests a shorter course of radiation given before surgery for soft tissue sarcoma in the arms, legs, or trunk wall. It aims to see if this approach works well long-term and may help you keep your limb.
LilleAges 18 years+ - NCT05333458RecruitingPhase 2
Atezolizumab plus selinexor for advanced alveolar soft tissue sarcoma
This Phase 2 trial tests whether combining atezolizumab with selinexor can slow or shrink advanced alveolar soft part sarcoma (ASPS) in people age 12 and older. It may help by improving the immune system’s ability to fight the cancer and stopping cancer cell growth signals.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 12 years+ - NCT03016819RecruitingPhase 3
Test drugs anlotinib and catequentinib for advanced sarcoma
This Phase 3 study tests two anti-cancer medicines (anlotinib and catequentinib) for people with certain advanced soft-tissue sarcomas, including alveolar soft part sarcoma, synovial sarcoma, and leiomyosarcoma. It is designed for tumors that cannot be removed and that have either grown despite treatment or no longer respond to standard options.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT03967834Recruiting
Study of immune features in rare soft tissue sarcoma
This study looks at immune system “fingerprints” using tumor tissue from people with rare soft tissue sarcoma. It may help researchers understand what drives these cancers and guide future treatments.
BesançonAges 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+ - NCT04122872Recruiting
German sarcoma registry for adults with rare tumor types
This study is a German “registry,” meaning it collects information about people with specific bone or soft tissue tumors (including some borderline or hard-to-classify cases). It helps doctors and researchers learn more about these rare conditions to improve future care.
Tübingen, Baden-WurttembergAges 18 years+ - NCT04181970Recruiting
Study of sarcoma care quality across Europe and Latin America
This observational study looks at information from people with sarcoma to understand how care is delivered across different centers. It does not test a new treatment, but may help improve future care and planning.
Buenos AiresAges 18–120 - 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+ - 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+ - 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+ - 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+ - NCT04577014RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Retifanlimab plus chemotherapy for advanced soft tissue sarcoma
This trial tests retifanlimab (an immunotherapy that helps your immune system recognize cancer) combined with gemcitabine and docetaxel chemotherapy. It’s for people with advanced soft tissue sarcoma that can’t be safely removed with surgery, aiming to shrink tumors and improve outcomes.
New York, New YorkAges 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.
SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT04757337RecruitingPhase 3
Oral chemotherapy comparison for older advanced soft-tissue cancer
This trial compares two chemotherapy medicines—oral cyclophosphamide versus doxorubicin—in people age 65 and older with advanced soft-tissue sarcoma that can’t be cured with surgery or radiation. It aims to see which treatment works better and is more tolerable for this age group.
ToulouseAges 65 years+ - NCT04776525RecruitingPhase 2
Chemotherapy before surgery for certain soft tissue sarcomas
This trial tests a step-by-step (sequential) chemotherapy plan given before surgery for adults with specific types of soft tissue sarcoma. The goal is to shrink or control the tumor before the operation and see how well this approach works and is tolerated.
BergenAges 18 years+ - NCT04901702RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Onivyde plus talazoparib or temozolomide for resistant solid tumors
This trial tests whether adding Onivyde to either talazoparib or temozolomide can shrink or control hard-to-treat (refractory or recurring) cancers in children and young adults. It aims to find safer dosing first, then look at how well the treatment works—especially for Ewing sarcoma.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 1–30 - NCT04921917Recruiting
Exercise during treatment for soft tissue sarcoma in an arm or leg
This trial studies whether adding an exercise program helps people with soft tissue sarcoma in an arm or leg during a planned treatment course. The treatment they look at is radiation before surgery, then surgery to remove the tumor, and they want to see how exercise affects outcomes and recovery.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18–85 - NCT04995003RecruitingPhase 1
HER2 CAR T plus pembrolizumab for advanced HER2 sarcoma
This Phase 1 study tests a personalized immune-cell treatment (HER2 CAR T cells) given with an immune “checkpoint” medicine (pembrolizumab or another checkpoint blocker) to shrink advanced HER2-positive sarcoma. It may help patients whose cancer is progressing or coming back after prior treatment.
Houston, TexasAges 1–25 - NCT05051059Recruiting
Life quality check after leg sarcoma surgery
This study checks how people with leg sarcoma are functioning and how satisfied they are with their quality of life after treatment. It mainly looks at patients at least one year after limb-sparing surgery, to understand long-term effects and support.
