SOFT TISSUE SARCOMA

This study tested whether giving high-dose vitamin C (ascorbate) alongside radiation therapy before surgery is safe and effective for people with advanced soft tissue sarcoma. 25 participants received vitamin C infusions three times a week during radiation. The goal was to see if…

This study tested whether taking anlotinib pills after initial chemotherapy can help keep advanced soft tissue sarcoma from growing. 49 adults with certain types of sarcoma took anlotinib daily. The goal was to see how long the cancer stayed stable and to check safety. Anlotinib …

This phase 2 trial tests a combination of two drugs—chidamide and toripalimab—in people with advanced soft-tissue sarcoma that has not responded to standard treatments. Chidamide is a pill that may help the immune system recognize cancer cells, while toripalimab is an immunothera…

This study tested whether adding an immunotherapy drug called APX005M to standard chemotherapy (doxorubicin) could help shrink tumors in people with advanced soft tissue sarcoma. 27 adults with certain sarcoma types took part. The goal was to see if the combination was safe and w…

This early-phase trial tested a personalized cell therapy for people with advanced bone or soft tissue sarcoma that had stopped responding to standard treatment. The therapy uses the patient's own immune cells, modified to better recognize and attack cancer cells carrying a speci…

This early-phase trial tested a combination of two drugs—LVGN6051, an experimental immune therapy, and anlotinib, a targeted cancer pill—in 39 adults with advanced soft tissue sarcoma that had stopped responding to standard treatments. The main goals were to check safety and find…

This study tested whether adding the immunotherapy drug durvalumab to standard chemotherapy (doxorubicin) could help people with advanced soft tissue sarcoma that has spread or come back. The trial included 44 adults whose cancer could be measured and who were healthy enough for …

This study tested a combination of two chemotherapy drugs, nab-paclitaxel and gemcitabine, in 59 teenagers and young adults whose sarcoma (a type of bone or soft tissue cancer) had returned or not responded to standard treatment. The main goals were to see if the drug combo could…

This study looked at 53 adults with advanced soft tissue sarcoma who had stable disease or improvement after 6 cycles of trabectedin. Half continued the drug, while the other half took a break (drug holiday). The goal was to see which approach better delays cancer progression and…

This early-phase trial tested whether adding a drug called avelumab to radiation therapy is safe for people with advanced soft-tissue sarcoma that has spread. Twelve adults with at least two tumors not curable by standard treatments took part. The main goal was to check for side …

This early-phase trial tested whether adding the drug olaparib to standard radiation therapy is safe for people with advanced soft-tissue sarcoma that cannot be removed by surgery. 41 participants received olaparib pills alongside daily radiation for about 7.5 weeks. The main goa…

This study tested two or three drugs together in adults with advanced solid tumors (cancers that have spread). The main goal was to find the safest dose and see if the combination can shrink tumors. Participants took brigimadlin pills and received ezabenlimab infusions every 3 we…

This trial tested a two-step treatment for people with advanced solid tumors that no longer respond to standard therapies. First, a laser heats and destroys part of the tumor. Then, a drug called IP-001 is injected directly into the treated area to help the immune system recogniz…

This phase 1 study tested an experimental drug called LY3039478 in 247 people with advanced or metastatic cancer, including lymphoma. The main goal was to find a safe dose and see how the drug affects the body. Researchers also looked for signs that the drug might shrink tumors.

This phase 2 trial tested whether adding the drug fluzoparib to standard preoperative radiation therapy improves outcomes for people with soft tissue sarcoma in the arms, legs, or trunk. Fifty-two adults took part, receiving either radiation alone or radiation plus fluzoparib bef…

This study tested a drug called ADI-PEG 20 combined with two chemotherapy drugs (gemcitabine and docetaxel) in 98 people with soft tissue sarcoma, osteosarcoma, Ewing's sarcoma, or small cell lung cancer. The goal was to see if the combination could slow cancer growth better than…

This study tested a combination of two drugs—pembrolizumab (an immunotherapy) and cyclophosphamide (a chemotherapy)—in 129 people with advanced sarcomas that had spread or could not be removed by surgery. The goal was to see if the combination could shrink tumors or stop them fro…

This study tested a two-step treatment for people with advanced soft tissue sarcoma that had stopped responding to standard therapy. First, a drug called LTX-315 was injected into a tumor to attract immune cells. Then, that tumor was removed, and the immune cells were grown in a …

This pilot study tested a shorter course of radiation (hypofractionated) given before surgery for soft tissue sarcoma of the arm, leg, or chest wall. The goal was to see if this approach is safe, feasible, and controls the tumor locally. Thirty-five adults with localized sarcoma …

This early-phase trial tested a drug called navtemadlin given alongside radiation therapy before surgery for soft tissue sarcoma. The goal was to find a safe dose and see if the combination could shrink tumors, making surgery easier. 39 patients with intermediate or high-grade sa…

This early-phase trial tested the combination of two drugs—trabectedin and durvalumab—in 40 people with advanced soft-tissue sarcoma or ovarian cancer that had not responded to prior treatments. The main goal was to find a safe dose and check for side effects. Researchers also lo…

This study tested whether artificial intelligence (AI) can help doctors tell the difference between cancerous and non-cancerous soft tissue lumps using MRI scans. 186 patients with soft tissue masses had extra MRI images taken. The AI was trained to identify which lumps were sarc…

This study looked at whether advanced genetic testing (called NGS) can be done quickly enough to help guide treatment choices for people with advanced soft-tissue sarcoma. About 600 adults with this rare cancer took part. The goal was to see if using genetic information to pick t…

This study looked at 59 people with soft tissue sarcoma who were getting chemotherapy with doxorubicin and ifosfamide. Researchers wanted to see if adding the anti-nausea drug aprepitant changed the amount of ifosfamide in the blood. Patients had blood samples taken during their …

This completed study examined tumor samples from 3820 people with advanced solid tumors to find how many have NTRK gene fusions. Researchers used genetic testing to identify these rare changes. The study did not test any treatment, but aims to guide future targeted therapy decisi…

This pilot study tested whether advanced genetic sequencing of tumors can be done quickly enough to guide treatment decisions. Researchers took blood and tumor samples from 24 adults with advanced soft-tissue sarcoma or metastatic colorectal cancer. They measured how long it took…
