About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Liposarcoma, Myxoid focused on measuring sarcoma
Eligibility Criteria
Cohort A: STS
Inclusion Criteria:
- The patient must sign voluntarily the informed consent form before any study test is conducted that is not part of routine patient care.
- Aged equal or over 18.
- Patients must have a diagnostic of Soft Tissue Sarcoma with metastasis limited to lung, and not suitable for metastasectomy or surgery resection or not oncologically recommended metastasectomy.A centralized diagnostic will be performed, the tumor sample must be available and sent prior to inclusion.
- Disease distribution allows meeting with normal tissue constraints of radiation therapy. Radiation oncologist must confirm this point.
- Metastatic spread could be present in two organs at maximum (i.e. lungs and pelvic fosa).
- Those lesions considered for radiation therapy have to be considered as target lesions as well. (i.e. in a patient with nodules in lungs, those lesions selected for radiation therapy have to include at least the target lesions)
- It is allowed that not all the lesions will be under radiation fields. As a general rule, it will be prioritized to select, as target-irradiating lesions, those with greater increase in size and those largest lesions. It should be discouraged to irradiate pulmonary lesions with infiltration of pleural serosa.
- Patients must have documentation of disease progression within 6 months prior to study entry.
- The patient must have been considered eligible for systemic chemotherapy. A maximum of two previous lines for advanced/metastatic disease are allowed as long as trabectedin has not been included.
The following histological subtypes can be included:
Undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma (previously, malignant fibrous histiocytoma) Leiomyosarcoma Angiosarcoma/ epithelial hemangioendothelioma Liposarcoma and its variants (well differentiated, dedifferentiated, myxoid/round cells, pleomorphic).
Synovial sarcoma Fibrosarcoma and its variants (epithelial fibrosarcoma/low grade fibromyxoid sarcoma) Hemangiopericytoma/solitary fibroid tumor Neurogenic sarcoma (Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor, MPNST) Myxofibrosarcoma Epithelioid Sarcoma Unclassified sarcoma (spindle cell/epithelioid/pleomorphic/myxoid)
- Measurable disease, according to RECIST V 1.1 criteria
- Performance status ≤1 (ECOG).
- Adequate respiratory functions: FEV1 >1L; DLco > 40% (patients with pulmonary target lesions)
- Adequate bone marrow function (hemoglobin > 10 g/dl, leukocytes ≥ 3.000/mm3, neutrophils ≥ 1.500/mm3, platelets ≥ 100.000/mm3). Patients with plasma creatinine ≤ 1,6 mg/dl, transaminases ≤ 2.5 times the UNL, total bilirubin ≤ UNL, CPK ≤ 2.5 times UNL, alkaline phosphatase ≤ 2.5 times the UNL are acceptable.

If these were positives the inclusion is not recommended, remaining at investigators' discretion the preventive treatment with lamivudine. If a potential patient is positive for anti-HCV antibodies, presence of the virus should be ruled out with a qualitative PCR, or the patient should NOT be included in the study (if a qualitative PCR cannot be performed then patient will not be able to enter the study)
