Official title Short Course Radiation Treatment for Patients With Primary or Locally Recurrent Retroperitoneal Sarcoma Prior to Surgery
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06812052
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- To determine the safety of moderately hypofractionated radiation in the treatment of primary and locally recurrent RPS, based on the evaluation of acute radiation-related toxicity profile of each participant (30-day radiation toxicity)
- Phase 1: an early, usually small safety study

- Prior RT to the RPS
- Prior abdominal or pelvic irradiation for other prior malignancy or other disease
- Prior different invasive malignancy may be eligible per the discretion of the treating investigator and review by the Principal Investigator (PI)
- Prior chemotherapy or immunotherapy within 6 weeks of start of RT
