Neoadjuvant Durvalumab and Tremelimumab Plus Radiation for High Risk Soft-Tissue Sarcoma

NCT03116529

Description:

Chemotherapy is controversial for soft tissue sarcoma that has not yet metastasized. Surgery and radiation are effective for local control, but there are no highly effective interventions to prevent metastatic spread of soft tissue sarcoma. Immunotherapy has shown promise in other types of cancer. Combining two types of immunotherapy agents with preoperative radiation may help the immune system recognize the sarcoma and stimulate an anti-tumor immune response.

Purpose

Chemotherapy is controversial for soft tissue sarcoma that has not yet metastasized. Surgery and radiation are effective for local control, but there are no highly effective interventions to prevent metastatic spread of soft tissue sarcoma. Immunotherapy has shown promise in other types of cancer. Combining two types of immunotherapy agents with preoperative radiation may help the immune system recognize the sarcoma and stimulate an anti-tumor immune response.

Detailed Description

      The main purposes of this study are to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of
      Durvalumab and Tremelimumab in combination with radiation prior to surgical resection of
      high-risk soft tissue sarcoma in the pelvis and extremities.

      Patients will receive the same radiation therapy and surgical care they would receive
      normally and with no change in timing or duration of each treatment. They will also receive
      two immunotherapy agents, Durvalumab and Tremelimumab, during radiation prior to surgery, and
      a single agent, Durvalumab, after surgery.
