This early-phase trial tests an immunotherapy drug called N-803 in up to 8 people with synovial sarcoma or myxoid/round cell liposarcoma whose cancer got worse after a prior cell therapy. N-803 is designed to boost the patient's own immune cells that survived the earlier treatmen…

This early-phase trial tests a combination of three drugs—selumetinib, ZEN-3694, and durvalumab—in people with advanced sarcomas, including malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNST) linked to NF1. The study first checks safety and dosing, then looks at whether the treatmen…

This expanded access program offers a cell therapy called afamitresgene autoleucel (afami-cel) to people with synovial sarcoma or myxoid liposarcoma whose manufactured dose didn't meet commercial standards. Eligible patients have no other feasible treatment options. The therapy i…

This study tests a new treatment called afamitresgene autoleucel in children and young adults aged 2 to 21 with advanced cancers that have a specific marker (MAGE-A4). The treatment uses the patient's own immune cells, modified to attack the cancer. The main goals are to check sa…

This study is for children and young adults (up to age 30) with a rare type of soft tissue cancer called non-rhabdomyosarcoma. It tests whether adding the drugs pazopanib and selinexor to standard chemotherapy can improve outcomes. Participants receive treatment tailored to their…

This early-phase trial tests a new therapy for people with advanced synovial sarcoma or myxoid/round cell liposarcoma. Participants receive donated natural killer (NK) cells that have been engineered to recognize and attack a protein called NY-ESO-1 found on their cancer cells. T…

This early-stage trial is testing a new drug called AOH1996 in 92 adults with solid tumors (like lung, ovarian, or pancreatic cancer) that have stopped responding to standard treatments. The drug works by blocking a protein that cancer cells need to grow. The main goals are to fi…

This study tests a special stem cell transplant for children, teens, and young adults (ages 6 months to 25 years) with solid tumors that have come back or not responded to treatment. The transplant uses cells from a donor, with certain immune cells removed to reduce side effects,…

This study tests a drug called zanzalintinib (XL092) in 29 people with advanced leiomyosarcoma that has spread or cannot be removed by surgery. The drug works by blocking signals that help cancer cells grow. The goal is to see if it can slow the cancer's progression longer than c…

This study is testing a combination of two drugs—a targeted radioactive drug (177Lu-DOTATATE) and a PARP inhibitor (olaparib)—in children and teens aged 3 to 18 with certain solid tumors that have come back or not responded to treatment. The goal is to see if the combination is s…

This early-phase trial is testing a new virus-based cancer vaccine (PeptiCRAd-1) combined with the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab in 15 people with various solid tumors like melanoma, triple-negative breast cancer, and lung cancer. The main goal is to see if the combination is …

This study tests an experimental oral drug called cirtuvivint for people with advanced soft-tissue sarcoma that has not responded to prior treatment. About 25 participants in Spain will take the drug to see if it can stop or slow cancer growth for at least 3 months. The drug targ…

This phase 3 trial tests the drug AL3818 (anlotinib) in people with advanced alveolar soft part sarcoma, leiomyosarcoma, or synovial sarcoma. Currently, only patients with alveolar soft part sarcoma are being enrolled. Participants receive AL3818 pills or a standard chemotherapy …

This study tests a personalized cell therapy called TBI-1301 for people with a rare soft-tissue cancer called synovial sarcoma that has spread or come back. The therapy uses a patient's own immune cells, modified to attack cancer cells with a specific marker (NY-ESO-1). About 5 a…

This study tests whether a higher dose of proton radiation can better control inoperable soft tissue sarcomas without increasing side effects. Forty adults with these rare tumors will receive targeted radiation over 4 weeks. Researchers will also look at blood and imaging markers…

This study tests whether a personalized 3-week course of proton radiation before surgery for soft tissue sarcoma can reduce long-term side effects compared to standard X-ray radiation. About 110 adults in Norway will receive either proton or X-ray therapy, chosen individually for…

This study tests whether a new type of immune cell therapy (HER2-CAR T cells) combined with drugs that boost the immune system (pembrolizumab or nivolumab) is safe for people with advanced sarcoma. About 25 participants will receive chemotherapy before the cell infusion to help t…

This early-phase trial tests a new treatment combining two experimental therapies (IMA203 and mRNA-4203) for people with advanced melanoma or synovial sarcoma that has not responded to prior treatments. The main goals are to check safety and find the best dose. About 15 participa…

This study tests a new combination of drugs (tislelizumab, liposomal doxorubicin, and ifosfamide) as a first treatment for people with advanced soft tissue sarcoma that cannot be removed by surgery or has spread. The goal is to see if this combo shrinks tumors and is safe. About …

This early-phase study tests a personalized cell therapy for people with several types of advanced cancer that have spread and express a protein called NY-ESO-1. Participants receive a single infusion of their own immune cells that have been genetically modified to recognize and …

This study tests a special dye called Cytalux that makes cancer cells glow under near-infrared light. Surgeons use it during lung surgery to find and remove hard-to-see tumors in teens (ages 6-17) with bone cancer that has spread to the lungs. The goal is to see if the dye helps …

This study screens adults with certain cancers (like melanoma, lung, or colorectal cancer) to see if they qualify for experimental treatments being tested by the NCI Surgery Branch. These treatments involve taking a patient's own immune cells, growing them in a lab, and giving th…
