SARC024: A Blanket Protocol to Study Oral Regorafenib in Patients With Refractory Liposarcoma, Osteogenic Sarcoma, and Ewing Sarcomas

Posted by & filed under .

Although regorafenib was approved for use in patients who had progressive GIST despite imatinib and/or sunitinib on the basis of phase II and phase III data, it has not been examined in a systematic fashion in patients with other forms of sarcoma. Given the activity of sorafenib, sunitinib and pazopanib… Read more »

Surgery With or Without Radiation Therapy in Treating Patients With Previously Untreated Nonmetastatic Retroperitoneal Soft Tissue Sarcoma

Posted by & filed under .

RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Giving radiation therapy before surgery may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed. It is not yet known whether surgery is more effective with or without radiation therapy in treating nonmetastatic… Read more »

Proton or Photon RT for Retroperitoneal Sarcomas

Posted by & filed under .

This research study is a Phase I clinical trial. Phase I clinical trials test the safety of an investigational intervention. Phase I studies also try to define the appropriate dose of the investigational therapy to use for further studies. "Investigational" means that the intervention is still being studied and that… Read more »

A Non-randomized, Open-label, Single-center Phase Ib Study of Short Cycles of SUnitinib Alternating With REgorafenib in Patients With Metastatic and/or Unresectable Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors (GIST) Progressing After Prior Therapy With Tyrosine Kinas

Posted by & filed under .

The purpose of this research study is to determine the safety and tolerability of sunitinib alternating with regorafenib in participants with advanced gastrointestinal stromal tumor GIST, if the standard approved therapies (imatinib, sunitinib and regorafenib) have failed to control the disease. Additionally, this study seeks to determine the highest dose… Read more »
