Precise Local Injection of Anti-cancer Drugs Using Presage's CIVO Device in Soft Tissue Sarcoma
Soft Tissue Sarcoma Adult
About this trial
This is an interventional basic science trial for Soft Tissue Sarcoma Adult focused on measuring in vivo drug sensitivity, personalized medicine, precision oncology, in vivo oncology, soft tissue sarcoma, chemotherapy, microinjection, microdosing, tumor microenvironment, multiplexed immunohistochemistry
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- 18 years of age or over.
- At least one suspected soft tissue sarcoma tumor that is considered by the investigator to be: (1) accessible for percutaneous injection and (2) at least 2.5 cm in shortest dimension for patients undergoing an incisional biopsy, or at least 3 cm in shortest dimension for patients undergoing an excisional biopsy/tumor resection. Tumors should not be selected if the Investigator believes them to be necrotic or exhibit signs of radiation-induced fibrosis.
- Prior surgical evaluation and plan for surgical biopsy or surgery to remove the tumor being injected.
- ECOG performance status of 0-2 (or a Karnofsky performance status of >50%)
Labs required for enrollment (prior to microinjection):
- Absolute neutrophil count > 1000/mm3
- Platelet count > 50,000/mm3
- Hematocrit > 25%
- Creatinine <3.0 mg/dl
- Total Bilirubin <4.0 mg/dl
- Bilirubin <4.0 mg/dl, SGOT ≤ 1.5 times the upper limit of normal
- PT and PTT ≤ 1.5 times the upper limit of normal
Exclusion Criteria:
- Subjects with active fungal, viral, or bacterial infections.
- Pregnant women.
- Inability to give informed consent.
- Current treatment with anticoagulation such as warfarin or low-molecular-weight heparin.
- Tumors near critical structures such as those located near or in the brain or spine. This assessment will be determined by the treating clinician.

Arms of the Study
Arm 1
Experimental
Multiple drug microinjection
Patients who are scheduled for surgical biopsy or tumor resection surgery will be injected 4 to 72 hours prior to surgery using the CIVO device. Minute volumes (up to 8.3 microliters) of saline (negative control) or microdoses of anti-cancer agents will be percutaneously injected in a columnar fashion through each of 8 needles into a single enlarged solid tumor.
