This study tests a procedure called pulmonary suffusion, which delivers the chemotherapy drug cisplatin directly to the lungs through a minimally invasive method. The goal is to control any remaining cancer cells after surgery or ablation in patients with sarcoma or colorectal ca…

This early-phase study tests a chemotherapy drug (gemcitabine) given as a mist to breathe in. It is for people whose solid tumors have spread to the lungs and who have no standard treatment options. The main goal is to find the safest dose and watch for side effects. Up to 44 par…

This study tests a technique called acute normovolemic hemodilution (ANH) in 150 adults undergoing bone tumor surgery. Before surgery, some blood is removed and replaced with fluid, so that if bleeding occurs, the patient loses less red blood cells. The goal is to see if this red…

This phase 2 trial tests a daily oral drug called zanzalintinib in 70 adults with advanced or metastatic bone sarcomas that cannot be removed by surgery. The study includes four groups based on sarcoma type. Researchers will check if the drug is safe and helps control the cancer.

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 looks at whether giving patients with bone or soft tissue sarcoma a special nutritional supplement twice daily before surgery can reduce complications and help maintain muscle mass. About 100 adults scheduled for tumor removal will be randomly assigned to receive eithe…

This study tests a mistletoe extract (Iscador P) in 32 patients whose osteosarcoma has returned in the lungs and has been surgically removed. The goal is to see if the treatment can delay or prevent the cancer from coming back. Participants receive injections of the extract and a…

This study tests a bone substitute called Mg OSTEOCRETE in 10 adults with bone defects from tumor removal, loose orthopedic hardware, or trauma. The main goal is to measure how long it takes for the bone to heal after treatment. Researchers will also track patient-reported outcom…

This study compares three treatments for pelvic sarcomas (cancers in the pelvic bone): carbon ion therapy, surgery (often with radiation), and proton therapy alone. Researchers want to see which approach gives patients better quality of life and controls the cancer best. About 72…

This study tests whether the drug regorafenib can help prevent bone sarcomas from coming back after initial treatment. About 168 people aged 12 and older with various bone sarcomas will be randomly assigned to take regorafenib for up to 12 months or to receive standard monitoring…

This phase 2 trial tests whether the drug regorafenib can help keep high-grade bone sarcomas from growing in patients who still have some disease after standard treatment. About 36 people aged 12 and older will take regorafenib daily for up to 12 months. The main goal is to see h…

This early-phase study tests a technique called in vivo lung perfusion (IVLP) that delivers chemotherapy directly into the lung during surgery to remove sarcoma tumors that have spread to the lungs. The goal is to kill any tiny cancer cells left behind that could cause the cancer…

This study tests whether a dye called indocyanine green can help surgeons see if any cancer remains after removing a sarcoma. About 50 adults with bone or soft tissue sarcoma will receive the dye during surgery, and the surgeon will check for glowing areas that might indicate lef…

This study tests whether a personalized exercise program can improve physical function and quality of life in adolescents and young adults who have survived sarcoma. Participants first complete a triage tool to assess their needs, then receive a 12-week exercise plan that may inc…

This study is looking at whether combining two treatments — a minimally invasive procedure called percutaneous ablation and standard radiation therapy — can better relieve pain from bone cancer that has spread. Researchers will follow 120 people whose pain is not controlled by me…

This phase 2 trial tests whether a higher dose of radiation (40-50 Gy over 10 sessions) can better relieve pain from cancer that has spread to bones or other areas. Researchers hope to double the complete pain response rate at one month compared to standard doses. The study invol…

This study looks at whether giving sarcoma patients early access to mental healthcare before and after surgery can help with depression, anxiety, and quality of life. About 60 adults with bone or soft tissue sarcoma who are scheduled for surgery at Memorial Sloan Kettering will t…

This early-phase study tests a single dose of TLX090-Tx, a radioactive drug, in 33 adults with advanced cancer that has spread to the bones and causes pain. The goal is to find a safe dose and see if it can reduce pain. Participants must have at least one painful bone spot and ha…

This study tests a procedure that uses radiofrequency heat to destroy spine tumors, followed by bone cement to stabilize the spine. Sixteen people with cancer that has spread to the spine will receive the treatment. The goal is to see if the tumors become less active on PET scans…

This study tests whether a personalized program of exercise, nutrition advice, and mental support before surgery can improve recovery and quality of life in people with bone or soft-tissue sarcoma of the arm or leg. About 53 participants will be followed for two years after surge…

This study looks at the financial stress that patients with bone or soft tissue sarcoma face after surgery. Researchers will ask 100 adults to fill out questionnaires about the costs of their cancer care and how that affects their quality of life. No new treatments are being test…

This study will collect data from 2,000 patients in the Netherlands and France who are receiving standard, minimally invasive cancer treatments like tumor ablation or catheter-based therapies for liver, lung, kidney, or bone cancers. During these procedures, a special CT scanner …

This study will enroll 100 children with solid tumors or Hodgkin lymphoma who are receiving proton therapy. Researchers will take weekly or bi-weekly CT or MRI scans during treatment to check if the original radiation plan is still accurate. If tumor coverage drops by 5% or radia…

This study follows adults with a suspected bone or soft tissue tumor to see how their stress and anxiety levels change at three critical moments: before biopsy, after learning the diagnosis, and when treatment begins. Participants fill out standard questionnaires about anxiety, d…

This study is testing a robotic system called Epione to help doctors place needles or instruments into the bones of the pelvis and spine. The goal is to see if the robot makes these procedures more feasible, safe, and accurate compared to doing them by hand. Sixty adults who are …

This study looks back at 150 patients who had surgery to replace the upper thigh bone after removing a bone tumor. Researchers will check medical records and scans to see how long the reconstruction lasts and how well patients can move afterward. The goal is to learn what affects…

This study follows 300 people who had surgery to remove bone tumors (like osteosarcoma or chondrosarcoma). Researchers want to see how well the bone heals and how much function returns over 3 years. Participants fill out questionnaires about their daily activities. No new drug or…

This study looks at how people move and feel after surgery for bone or soft tissue sarcoma in the leg. Researchers will measure physical function, quality of life, and activity levels in 60 adults who had limb-saving surgery at least one year ago. The goal is to learn more about …

This study is creating a detailed health record database for 1500 people diagnosed with bone or soft tissue tumors. The goal is to collect high-quality information that researchers can use to better understand these rare diseases. No new treatments or medications are being tested…

This study looks at how well bone cancer patients follow a personalized home exercise program in the first six months after lower leg surgery. Researchers will track daily exercise logs from 50 patients and explore what factors help or hinder adherence. The goal is to learn how t…
