Background:
- Filgrastim (granulocyte colony-stimulating factor), which is administered by daily subcutaneous injection after cytotoxic chemotherapy, shortens the duration of chemotherapy-induced neutropenia and lowers the risk of infection.
- In children treated with dose-intensive chemotherapy,
OBJECTIVES:
- Determine the safety of vaccination comprising autologous tumor cells fused with Epstein-Barr virus-transformed B-lymphoblastoid cells followed by interleukin-2 (IL-2) in children with relapsed or refractory Ewing's sarcoma or neuroblastoma.
- Determine antitumor immunity by examining
This is a multicenter, open-label (identity of the assigned study treatments will be known to patients and study staff) study to determine the dose of the combination of trabectedin (Yondelis) and Doxorubicin for which the neutropenia (low white blood cell counts) is manageable with the use of
OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the maximum tolerated dose of interleukin-12 (IL-12) in patients with AIDS-associated Kaposi's sarcoma.
II. Determine the antitumor activity of IL-12 in these patients. III. Determine the effect of IL-12 on angiogenic factors, including basic fibroblast growth factor,
OBJECTIVES:
- Determine the overall response rate in patients with AIDS-associated Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) treated with doxorubicin HCl liposome and interleukin-12.
- Determine the time to response and the number of complete responses in patients treated with this regimen.
- Determine the
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To confirm the safety and efficacy of cancer-testis antigen (NY-ESO-1) specific T cells (autologous NY-ESO-1-specific cluster of differentiation [CD]8-positive T lymphocytes) in patients with advanced synovial sarcoma and myxoid/round cell liposarcoma following conditioning
Background:
- Patients with recurrent or metastatic pediatric solid tumors experience low survival rates, but using current standard therapies, many patients with these diseases are rendered into a state of minimal residual disease associated with lymphopenia.
- Lymphopenic hosts show augmented
The aim of the proposed project is to study the long-term impact of adjuvant systemic multi- agent chemotherapy (cisplatin, anthracyclines, vincristine, methotrexate, alkylating agents) in survivors (treated between 1992 and 2014 in UZ Leuven) of paediatric bone or soft tissue sarcomas on
Background:
- Treatment of pediatric sarcomas has enjoyed progress in the past 25 years for patients with localized, chemosensitive disease and prognostic factors are now available to identify subsets of patients who have very dismal prognoses; patients with primary metastatic disease, especially
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To determine the feasibility of CPI-613 when administered with high dose cytarabine, and mitoxantrone (mitoxantrone hydrochloride) in all three phases of salvage therapy (induction, consolidation and maintenance).
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To observe the response rate (complete
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Evaluate the safety of adoptively transferred CD8 T cells targeting NY-ESO-1 positive (+) tumors given alone and in combination with antigen-specific vaccination.
II. Evaluate the functional and numeric in vivo persistence of NY-ESO-1-specific CD8 T-cells given alone and in
- The treatment is separated into three stages: 1) Initial treatment-chemotherapy and stem cell collection; 2) Treatment targeted directly to the main tumor-surgery and radiation therapy; 3) Intensified treatment: two stem cell transplants.
- Patients will receive intensive treatment with a
Patients will be assigned at random (as by the toss of a coin) to receive 1 of 2 treatments.
Arm A: VACdxr will be given over 2 days through a needle in a vein. On day 1, vincristine will be given over 15 minutes, and doxorubicin will be given over 30 minutes.
Dexrazoxane will be given 30 minutes
Optical Tracking System
For this study, PRODIGI was combined with a commercial optical tracking system (OTS, Polaris, NDI Medical, Waterloo, Ontario, Canada) to track the movement of the device in space relative to a patient over time. This addition is in the form of an infrared-light camera, which
