Synovial Sarcoma

Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation can cure patients with blood cancer and other underlying diseases. αβ-T cell and B cell depletion has been introduced to decrease GVHD and PTLD and has demonstrated effectiveness for hematologic malignancies and non-malignant diseases additionally increasing the donor pool as to allow for haploidentical transplant to safely occur. While solid tumors can be highly chemotherapy sensitive, many remain resistant and require multimodalities of treatment. Immunotherapy has been developed to harness the immune system in fighting solid tumors, though not all have targeted effects. Some solid tumors are treated with autologous transplants; however, they do not always demonstrate an improved event free survival or overall survival. There has been evidence of the use of allogeneic stem cell transplants to provide a graft versus tumor effect, though studies remain limited. By utilizing αβ-T cell and B cell depletion for stem cell transplants and combining with zoledronic acid, the immune system may potentially be harnessed and enhanced to provide an improved graft versus tumor effect in relapsed/refractory solid tumors and promote an improved event-free survival and overall survival. This study will investigate the safety of treatment with a stem cell graft depleted of αβ-T cell and CD19+ B cells in combination with zoledronic acid in pediatric and young adult patients with select solid tumors, as well as whether this treatment improves survival rates in these patients.

This early phase I trial tests the safety and how well N-803 works in treating patients with synovial sarcoma (SS) or myxoid/round cell liposarcoma (MRCL) that is growing, spreading, or getting worse (progressive) after being treated with adoptive cellular therapy (ACT) using T-cell receptor therapy (T-CRT). Synovial sarcoma is a rare, slow-growing cancer that affects the soft tissues, like muscles or ligaments near the joints. Myxoid/round cell liposarcoma is a rare type of soft tissue sarcoma cancer that originates from fat cells usually in the arms and legs. N-803 is a type of immunotherapy-a treatment that helps patients' own immune system fight cancer, and it is made up of a natural protein called interleukin-15 (IL-15) that is important for growing and activating immune cells. Studies have shown that patients can progress after initially responding to TCR-T, so this trial will use N-803 to stimulate rare persisting cells (cells that survive treatment and cause treatment failure and disease relapse) to make them work better at attacking the cancer. Adoptive cell therapy is a type of therapy that uses a patient's own immune cells to fight cancer. T-cell receptor therapy is a type of ACT that can recognize better recognize and bind to protein in cancer cells. Giving N-803 may be safe and tolerable in patients with SS or MRCL.

The purpose of this study is to collect and store data and samples for future research to attempt to improve outcomes for patients with synovial sarcoma. The future research will involve various types of genetic testing. Participants will be asked to allow access to medical records and leftover tumor tissue and may be asked to give a blood or saliva sample. Participants will also be asked to completed questionnaires about their medical history and may be contacted every 6 to 12 months for updates for up to 10 years.

This study is being conducted to explore the immunological mechanism of action of Peptide-coated Conditionally Replicating Adenovirus-1 (PeptiCRAd-1) plus Checkpoint inhibitor (CPI) therapy in multiple cancer types, as well as to obtain early information on the safety of this combination therapy.

The PerVision trial utilizes an approach of a patient-individual cancer vaccine with sarcoma-specific peptides in metastasized fusion-driven sarcoma patients determined by next generation whole exome sequencing of tumor and normal tissue as well as RNA sequencing of the tumor. This approach is applicable to all patients independent of the expression of distinct tumor associated antigens, and independent of their human leukocyte antigen-typing (HLA-typing). The results of this study can directly be translated to other tumor entities. It is an interventional, multicenter, open-label, phase I/II feasibility and early proof of concept study evaluating a personalized peptide vaccine. Primary objective is to evaluate safety and success of treatment, the latter be defined as vaccination-induced T-cell response without unacceptable toxicity.

The goal of this clinical research study is to find a recommended dose of donated NK cells that can be given along with chemotherapy to patients with advanced cancers. The safety and effects of this therapy will also be studied.

THIS STUDY IS CURRENTLY RECRUITING PATIENTS WITH ALVEOLAR SOFT PART SARCOMA ONLY AND IS NO LONGER RECRUITING PATIENTS WITH SYNOVIAL SARCOMA OR LEIOMYOSARCOMA. This study evaluates the safety and efficacy of AL3818 (anlotinib) hydrochloride in the treatment of metastatic or advanced alveolar soft part sarcoma (ASPS), leiomyosarcoma (LMS), and synovial sarcoma (SS). All participants with ASPS will receive open-label AL3818. In participants with LMS or SS, AL3818 will be compared to IV dacarbazine. Two-thirds of the participants will receive AL3818, one-third of the participants will receive IV dacarbazine.

The purpose of this expanded access protocol (EAP) is to provide controlled access to Afamitresgene autoleucel, suspension for intravenous infusion that does not meet the commercial release specification (NC afami-cel). This EAP will be conducted at authorized treatment centers where TECELRA® is being administered and where the EAP is approved to be conducted. Patients who are prescribed TECELRA® , sign the informed consent form, and meet all entry criteria will be eligible to participate in this protocol.

This is a pediatric basket study to investigate the safety and efficacy of afamitresgene autoleucel in HLA-A\*02 eligible and MAGE-A4 positive subjects aged 2-17 years of age with advanced cancers.

The purpose of this study is to learn whether it is safe to give HER2-CAR T cells in combination with an immune checkpoint inhibitor drug (pembrolizumab or nivolumab), to learn what the side effects are, and to see whether this therapy might help patients with sarcoma. Another goal of this study is to study the bacteria found in the stool of patients with sarcoma who are being treated with HER2 CAR T cells and immune checkpoint inhibitor drugs to see if the types of bacteria influence how well the treatment works. The investigators have found from previous research that they can put a new gene into T cells that will make them recognize cancer cells and kill them. They now want to see if they can put a new gene in these cells that will let the T cells recognize and kill sarcoma cells. The new gene that the investigators will put in makes an antibody specific for HER2 (Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2) that binds to sarcoma cells. In addition, it contains CD28, which stimulated T cells and make them last longer. After this new gene is put into the T cell, the T cell becomes known as a chimeric antigen receptor T cell or CAR T cell. In another clinical study using these CAR T cells targeting HER2 as well as other studies using CAR T cells, investigators found that giving chemotherapy before the T cell infusion can improve the effect the T cells can have. Giving chemotherapy before a T cell infusion is called lymphodepletion since the chemotherapy is specifically chosen to decrease the number of lymphocytes in the body. Decreasing the number of the patient's lymphocytes first should allow the infused T cells to expand in the body, and potentially kill cancer cells more effectively. The chemotherapy used for lymphodepletion is a combination of cyclophosphamide and fludarabine. After the patient receives the lymphodepletion chemotherapy and CAR T cells during treatment on the study, they will receive an antibody drug called an immune checkpoint inhibitor, pembrolizumab or nivolumab. Immune checkpoint inhibitors are drugs that remove the brakes on the immune system to allow it to act against cancer.

This purpose of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety, tolerability and anti-tumor activity of IMA203 in combination with different doses of mRNA-4203. The trial includes participants with previously treated unresectable or metastatic cutaneous melanoma (CM) or synovial sarcoma (SS).

This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of MASCT-I combined with Doxorubicin and Ifosfamide for first-line treatment in patients with advanced soft tissue sarcoma.

PAMSARC is a non-commercial interventional Phase 2 clinical trial of academic research institutions, with its primary goal being to improve medical treatment of fusion driven Desmoplastic small round cell tumor (DSRCT) and Synovial sarcoma (SySa) in young adults and adolsecents with male predominance. Current management of DSRCT and SySa includes chemotherapy, radiation and aggressive cytoreductive surgery. Despite advances in multimodal therapy, outcomes remain poor with frequent disease recurrence and very limited options for patients with advanced disease. Selected somatostatin receptor (SSTR) family members, i.e., SSTR2, SSTR3 and SSTR5, are frequently overexpressed in DSRCT and SySa, providing the rationale for treatment with somatostatin analogues (SSA). Pasireotide is a SSA with high affinity for SSTR1, -2, -3, and -5 and is approved for the treatment of Cushing's disease and acromegaly and has also shown activity in other cancers. In patients with advanced stage DSRCT and SySa, conventional chemotherapeutic approaches frequently lead to disease response, however, the duration of progression-free time after chemotherapy is short. The targeted approach with pasireotide after initial intensive multimodal treatment may have the potential to significantly improve outcome.

MDG1015 is a third generation TCR-T therapy product targeting NY-ESO-1/LAGE-1a armored and enhanced by the PD1-41BB costimulatory switch protein (CSP). The study purpose is to establish the safety, tolerability and preliminary efficacy of MDG1015 in patients with epithelial ovarian cancer, gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma, round cell liposarcoma and/or synovial sarcoma that expresses NY-ESO-1 and/or LAGE-1a. The main questions this clinical trial aims to answer are: Can this TCR-T therapy MDG1015 be given to patients safely? What is the optimal dose of the TCR-T therapy MDG1015? If and what side effects do participants experience after receiving the TCR-T therapy MDG1015? Do participants experience a potential disease response after receiving the TCR-T therapy MDG1015? Participants will: Receive (in most cases) 1 single infusion of MDG1015 at a pre-defined dose level and will be followed up regularly up to 1 year. After one year, participants will enter the long term follow-up part up to 15 years after being treated. Any side effects and/or potential disease response will be documented during this period.

This phase III trial compares chest computed tomography (CT) to chest x-ray (CXR) for lung surveillance after curative-intent resection of high-risk truncal-extremity soft tissue sarcoma. Currently, complete oncologic resection (with or without radiation therapy) is the standard of care for most high-risk soft tissue sarcoma that has not spread to other parts of the body (localized). However, despite curative-intent resection, 20-40% of patients will develop cancer that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (distant metastases), with the lungs being the most common site. Thus, lung surveillance is important for detection of lung metastases in order to facilitate timely treatment. Although there is general agreement about the usefulness of postoperative surveillance, consensus is lacking regarding the optimal modality for lung surveillance after curative-intent resection for high-risk soft tissue sarcoma. Current National Comprehensive Cancer Network guidelines recommend chest imaging with CT or CXR every 3-6 months for 2-3 years, then every 6 months for the next two years, and then annually after that for high-risk tumors. Data from across the United States and internationally indicate that there is considerable variation in clinical practice with regards to the use of CXR versus CT chest for lung surveillance. The information gained from this trial may allow researchers to determine the effectiveness of varying imaging modalities needed for optimal surveillance for patients with extremity or truncal soft tissue sarcoma.
