Can a Tumor-Injected drug combo outlast standard care in advanced sarcoma?
NCT ID NCT06263231
First seen Aug 11, 2026 · Last updated Aug 12, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This phase 3 trial is testing whether an investigational drug called INT230-6, which combines three anti-cancer agents and is injected directly into tumors, can help people with advanced soft tissue sarcoma live longer than those receiving standard care. The study enrolls adults with specific sarcoma subtypes—liposarcoma, leiomyosarcoma, or undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma—that have progressed after up to two prior therapies. Participants are randomly assigned to receive either INT230-6 or one of the standard treatments (eribulin, trabectedin, or pazopanib). The main goal is to compare overall survival between the two groups.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- INT230-6, a combination of cisplatin, vinblastine, and SHAO, injected directly into tumors
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this approach could offer a new treatment option that may extend survival for people with advanced soft tissue sarcoma who have limited choices after standard therapies fail.
- What could go wrong
- This is a phase 3 trial, but the outcome is uncertain. The drug may not improve survival over standard care, and side effects from the chemotherapy components could be significant.
