Leiomyosarcoma

Researchers are testing a combination of the experimental antibody MEDI5752 and stereotactic body radiotherapy in people with metastatic soft tissue sarcoma that has spread to the lungs. MEDI5752 targets two immune checkpoints, PD-1 and CTLA-4, and the radiation is aimed at one l…

This phase 2 trial tested whether giving heated chemotherapy directly into the abdomen during surgery, followed by standard chemo, could help prevent uterine leiomyosarcoma from coming back. Seventeen women with locally recurrent cancer took part. The goal was to see if this comb…

This study looked at adding the drug pazopanib to standard radiation or chemoradiation before surgery for patients with certain soft tissue sarcomas. The goal was to see if the combination is safe and helps shrink tumors more effectively. About 140 adults and children with newly …

This study tested whether taking anlotinib pills after initial chemotherapy can help keep advanced soft tissue sarcoma from growing. 49 adults with certain types of sarcoma took anlotinib daily. The goal was to see how long the cancer stayed stable and to check safety. Anlotinib …

This study tested whether adding an immunotherapy drug called APX005M to standard chemotherapy (doxorubicin) could help shrink tumors in people with advanced soft tissue sarcoma. 27 adults with certain sarcoma types took part. The goal was to see if the combination was safe and w…

This study tested whether adding the drug berzosertib to standard chemotherapy (gemcitabine) can help control a rare soft-tissue cancer called leiomyosarcoma. 58 adults with advanced or spreading disease took part. The goal was to see if the combination could stop or shrink tumor…

This early-phase study tested whether adding the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab to standard chemotherapy (gemcitabine) is safe for people with two rare types of soft tissue sarcoma (leiomyosarcoma and undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma). Twenty-five adults with advanced or in…

This phase 1 study tested an experimental drug called LY3039478 in 247 people with advanced or metastatic cancer, including lymphoma. The main goal was to find a safe dose and see how the drug affects the body. Researchers also looked for signs that the drug might shrink tumors.

This study tested a combination of two drugs—pembrolizumab (an immunotherapy) and cyclophosphamide (a chemotherapy)—in 129 people with advanced sarcomas that had spread or could not be removed by surgery. The goal was to see if the combination could shrink tumors or stop them fro…

This study tested a combination of two drugs, lenvatinib and eribulin, in 30 people with advanced soft tissue sarcomas (liposarcoma or leiomyosarcoma) that could not be removed by surgery or had spread. The goal was to see if the combo could shrink tumors or slow their growth. Th…

This Phase 3 trial tested whether giving chemotherapy based on the specific type of soft tissue sarcoma works better than a one-size-fits-all approach. 550 adults with high-risk sarcomas in the arms or trunk were randomly assigned to standard chemo or a chemo regimen matched to t…

This study tested whether PET scans can detect early response to chemotherapy in people with retroperitoneal sarcoma, a rare cancer in the abdomen. 18 participants received extra PET scans before and after their first chemo cycle. The goal was to see if PET could predict tumor sh…
