NCT ID NCT04668300

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This phase II trial tests two immunotherapy drugs, oleclumab and durvalumab, in 75 people with advanced sarcoma (angiosarcoma, dedifferentiated liposarcoma, or osteosarcoma) that has returned, spread, or stopped responding to treatment. The goal is to see if the combination can shrink tumors or slow cancer growth. Participants receive the drugs intravenously, and the study measures response rates and how long the cancer is controlled.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

oleclumab and durvalumab (immunotherapy drugs)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could provide a new treatment option for people with certain advanced sarcomas that have not responded to standard therapies.

What could go wrong

This is a relatively small, early-phase trial (75 participants) and the drugs may not work for all sarcoma subtypes. Immunotherapy can also cause side effects like inflammation in healthy organs.
