Sarcoma Trials at MSK

This study is assessing the safety and effectiveness of ASTX727 in people who have malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNST) with a mutation in a gene complex called PRC2 (EED or SUZ12). ASTX727 is a combination of two drugs (cedazuridine and decitabine) that have been designed to target cancer cells with a PRC2 complex genetic mutation and disrupt the cells' ability to survive and grow.

Isolated limb infusion (ILI) is a way to give anticancer drugs directly into an arm or leg to treat a sarcoma. However, despite this treatment, sometimes the cancer still spreads to other parts of the body. In this study, researchers want to see if adding the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab to ILI treatment with the chemotherapy drugs melphalan and dactinomycin can help prevent the spread of cancer and increase the effectiveness of the ILI treatment in people with advanced sarcoma.

The purpose of this study is to compare two different approaches to surgery for children and adults with osteosarcoma (bone cancer) that has spread (metastasized) to the lungs. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two techniques:

Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is a type of cancer that occurs in the soft tissues in the body. Researchers in this study are comparing different chemotherapy-based treatments for children and young adults with very low-risk RMS, low-risk RMS, and RMS with DNA mutations, with treatment tailored to the predicted aggressiveness of each patient's cancer. The standard chemotherapy drugs participants will receive include vincristine, dactinomycin, and cyclophosphamide.

Researchers in this study want to see how a new form of radiation therapy works to treat metastatic cancer. Metastatic means the cancer has spread to another part of the body from its original place. The people in this study have solid tumors that spread to soft tissues in the chest, abdomen (belly), or pelvis. In addition, they need radiation therapy to help control symptoms such as pain.

This protocol will provide expanded access to treatment with the investigational drug L-MTP-PE for people with osteosarcoma. L-MTP-PE works by activating certain types of white blood cells, and these active white blood cells help the immune system to kill cancer cells. L-MTP-PE is given intravenously (by vein).
