NCT ID NCT05774275

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This trial is testing whether giving a combination of radiation, chemotherapy, and an immunotherapy drug before surgery can help people with high-risk soft tissue sarcoma. The study will include 52 adults whose tumors are large or hard to remove. The goal is to see if this approach shrinks tumors enough to improve surgery results and lower the chance of the cancer coming back.
