First seen Feb 22, 2026 · Last updated May 13, 2026 · Updated 12 times

Summary

This study tested whether adding pioglitazone (a diabetes drug) to trabectedin (a chemotherapy) can better control liposarcoma, a rare soft-tissue cancer. Ten adults whose tumors had stopped growing on trabectedin alone received the combination. The goal was to see if the combo could shrink tumors or keep them stable longer, while monitoring side effects.
