Sarcoma Clinical Trials

This is an open label phase 2 study for advanced sarcoma using metronomic doses of gemcitabine, doxorubicin and docetaxel, and nivolumab immunotherapy given intravenously. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to assess the functional outcomes in patients undergoing proximal femur resection and reconstruction with an endoprosthesis, based on the abductor muscle repair technique. The investigators hypothesize that those patients who receive reattachment of the abductors directly into the prosthesis will have better functional outcomes overall. Furthermore, the investigators plan to develop a simple, cost effective, and reproducible method to assess abductor function at clinical post-operative visits through plain radiographs. Read Less

This is a multicenter, open-label, Phase 1 study that will be conducted in two parts. Part 1 is the dose escalation of APG-5918. Part 2 is the dose expansion of APG-5918. APG-5918 will be administered orally. Patients will be treated in 28-day cycles. Read Less

The PIONEER Initiative stands for Precision Insights On N-of-1 Ex vivo Effectiveness Research. The PIONEER Initiative is designed to provide access to functional precision medicine to any cancer patient with any tumor at any medical facility. Tumor tissue is saved at time of biopsy or surgery in multiple formats, including fresh and cryopreserved as a living biospecimen. SpeciCare assists with access to clinical records in order to provide information back to the patient and the patient's clinical care team. The biospecimen tumor tissue is stored in a bio-storage facility and can be shipped anywhere the patient and the clinical team require for further testing. Additionally, the cryopreservation of the biospecimen allows for decisions about testing to be made at a later date. It also facilitates participation in clinical trials. The ability to return research information from this repository back to the patient is the primary end point of the study. The secondary end point is the subjective assessment by the patient and his or her physician as to the potential benefit that this additional information provides over standard of care. Overall the goal of PIONEER is to enable best in class functional precision testing of a patient's tumor tissue to help guide optimal therapy (to date this type of analysis includes organoid drug screening approaches in addition to traditional genomic profiling).
