NCT ID NCT07125183

First seen Oct 31, 2025 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 25 times

Summary

This study is testing whether giving a lower dose of the chemotherapy drug doxorubicin weekly, instead of the standard higher dose every three weeks, is effective and easier to tolerate for older patients (ages 65-100) with advanced soft tissue sarcoma. The main goal is to see if this schedule can control cancer growth for at least 12 weeks while causing fewer side effects. Researchers will also closely monitor patients' quality of life and collect blood and tumor samples to understand how the treatment affects the immune system.
