Chondrosarcoma

Clinical Trials

Below is a list of Chondrosarcoma clinical trials from the clinical trials database at Mayo Clinic.

This list includes only trials about which Mayo researchers choose to publish information. Mayo Clinic may be conducting other trials which are not in this database. Mayo's clinical trials include experimental treatments, often unavailable elsewhere, which frequently lead to improved patient care for people worldwide. Patients should ask their doctor at Mayo about clinical trials appropriate for their situation.

The Use of Chemotherapy Medications, Gemcitabine (Gemzar) and Docetaxel (Taxotere) in the Treatment of Ewing Sarcoma, Osteosarcoma, or Chondrosarcoma
This study is being done to:
-See if the chemotherapy drugs gemcitabine (Gemzar) and docetaxel (Taxotere), when given together, may help to fight cancer of the bone or soft tissue. Each of these drugs is approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of some kinds of cancer, such as cancer of the pancreas and lung, but they are not approved for this type of cancer, so in this study they are called investigational drugs.
-See what effects (good and bad) gemcitabine and docetaxel have on the patient and the tumor.
-See how a patient's body processes the gemcitabine and docetaxel.
-(When possible), to do genetic research studies on a sample of a patient's tumor tissue.
