NCT ID NCT01746238

Summary

This early-stage study is testing the safety of a three-part treatment given before surgery for soft tissue sarcoma. The treatment combines a targeted drug (bevacizumab), a chemotherapy (doxorubicin), and radiation therapy. The main goal is to find the highest safe dose of bevacizumab in this combination to try to shrink tumors and prevent the cancer from coming back after surgery.
