Recruiting PHASE3 Non-metastatic Soft-tissue Sarcoma

New treatment option for Non-metastatic Soft-tissue Sarcoma

Official title Benefit of Intensified Peri-operative Chemotherapy Within High-risk CINSARC Patients With Resectable Soft-tissue Sarcomas

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT03805022

What this study is testing

What is Doxorubicin?

Doxorubicin is an investigational medicine, being studied as a potential treatment for non-metastatic soft-tissue sarcoma.

Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.

What it's testing
The primary objective of this trial is to investigate whether the addition of 3 additional neo-adjuvant cycles of chemotherapy (doxorubicin based chemotherapy) to standard management according to the ISG-STS 10-01 study (3 cycles of neoadjuvant doxorubicin based chemotherapy + surgery +/- radiotherapy) improves the outcome of high-risk CINSARC patients with resectable soft-tissue sarcoma (STS). Primary endpoint is metastatic progression-free survival (M-PFS, after 3 years of follow-up).
