New radiation method aims to boost tumor fight in sarcoma patients
NCT ID NCT06980259
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares a new type of radiation therapy (SFRT) to standard radiation for people with large soft tissue sarcomas (tumors at least 5 cm). About 106 participants will be randomly assigned to one of the two treatments. The goal is to see if SFRT can shrink tumors better and improve quality of life without causing more side effects.

Inclusion Criteria: * 1\. Age 18-70 years, irrespective of gender. 2. Pathologically or clinically confirmed diagnosis of soft tissue sarcoma. 3. Minimum tumor diameter ≥5 cm. 4. Receiving systemic treatment as per multidisciplinary team (MDT) recommendations. 5\. Measurable lesion (per RECIST 1.1/Choi criteria: longest diameter \>1.5 cm, or \>1 cm with two measurable perpendicular diameters). 6\. ECOG performance status ≤2. 7. Expected survival ≥3 months. 8. Normal liver, kidney, lung, and cardiac function, with tolerance for treatment. 9\. Patients of childbearing potential agree to use reliable contraception during treatment and for one year thereafter. 10\. Voluntary provision of signed informed consent. Exclusion Criteria: * (1) Patients with a second primary malignancy. (2) Diagnosis of aggressive fibromatosis or rhabdomyosarcoma. (3) Prior radiotherapy to the target lesion. (4) Tumor unsuitable for radiotherapy. (5) Severe liver, kidney, lung, or cardiac dysfunction, precluding tolerance to systemic therapy or radiotherapy. (6) Other severe medical conditions that may impact the study (e.g., uncontrolled diabetes, gastric ulcers, or other serious cardiopulmonary diseases). (7) Severe or uncontrolled infections, or active autoimmune diseases. (8) Clinically evident central nervous system dysfunction. (9) Pregnant or lactating women, or women of childbearing potential not using contraception. (10) Other conditions deemed unsuitable for participation by the investigator.
