Sarcoma Trials at MSK

Researchers are assessing a new type of therapy in young people with solid tumors that keep growing even after treatment. The therapy is called afamitresgene autoleucel. The people in this study have synovial sarcoma, malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST), neuroblastoma, or osteosarcoma. In addition, they have tested positive for the HLA-A*02 gene and their cancers make a protein called MAGE-A4. This protein plays a role in cancer growth.

Researchers in this study are seeking the best dose of CBL0137 in people with solid tumors. They also want to see how well it works against certain cancers.

Researchers want to find the best dose of DCC-3116 to give with ripretinib for people with gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST). The people in this study have GIST that has spread, even with treatment.

Researchers in this study want to find the best dose of lurbinectedin to treat cancer in children and adults. They also want to see how well this drug works. The people in this study have Ewing sarcoma or other solid tumors that keep growing after treatment. In addition, their cancers contain a genetic change called a FET fusion.

The purpose of this study is to find the highest dose of the investigational drug AVA6000 that can be given safely in people with advanced solid tumors that are not responding to treatment. AVA6000 is very similar to a standard chemotherapy drug called doxorubicin. Like doxorubicin, AVA6000 works to slow or stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking an enzyme. Unlike doxorubicin, however, AVA6000 is a "prodrug," meaning it remains inactive until it reaches the site of the cancer. Because of the way AVA6000 works, it may be useful for treating cancer with fewer side effects than doxorubicin. AVA6000 is given intravenously (by vein).

Researchers want to find the best dose of GI-102 for treating advanced sarcoma. The people in this study have sarcoma that has spread.

Mirdametinib blocks proteins called MEK1 and MEK2, which play an important role in cancer cell growth and survival. By blocking MEK1 and MEK2, mirdametinib may slow or stop the growth of your cancer.

Pembrolizumab takes the brakes off the immune system so immune cells can find and hopefully attack cancer cells. It is given intravenously (by vein).

Researchers want to see how well tebentafusp works in people with clear cell sarcoma that has spread. This cancer grows deeply into soft tissues of the arms and legs. The people in this study have clear cell sarcoma that is inoperable (cannot be surgically removed) or has spread.

In this study, researchers want to learn if tigilanol tiglate is safe and works well against advanced soft tissue sarcoma. When injected into a tumor, tigilanol tiglate stops the blood supply to the cancer, which starves the tumor of nutrients. It may also make the immune system target and kill cancer cells.
