Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Advanced soft tissue sarcoma patients who have previously recieved anthracyclines might still benefit from doxorubicin, ifosfamide and dacarbazine. However doxorubicin might be stopped using because of chronic cumulative heart toxicity. Several efforts have been made to improve the toxicity profile of conventional anthracyclines, including the use of liposomal encapsulation technology and the development of novel anthracycline analogs,such as pegylated liposomal doxorubicin and pirarubicin. However their actual effectiveness and toxicity have not been studied in prospective trial. The purpose of the study is to investigate whether they are available for this group of patients.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

We design this multicentre, open-label, randomised, phase 2 trial at 5 academic hospitals in China. Eligible patients need to be aged 16 years or older with a diagnosis of an advanced unresectable or metastatic soft-tissue sarcoma, of intermediate or high grade, for which no standard curative therapy will be available, an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0-1, and measurable disease by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1.

Participants will be randomly assigned (1:1) to receive pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (60 mg/m² via continuous intravenous infusion for 4-6 h on day 1 of every 21-day cycle for up to six cycles) or pirarubicin (30 mg/m2/d continuous intravenous infusion for 3h on day 1 and 2 of every 21-day cycle for up to six cycles) plus ifosfamide ( 2 g/m²/d intravenously for 2h on day 2,3 and 4 of every 21-day cycle for up to six cycles), dacarbazine (300 mg/m²/d intravenously for 2h on day 2,3 and 4 of every 21-day cycle for up to six cycles ).After six cycles of treatment, patients will be followed up expectantly whereas patients with stable or responsive disease are allowed to continue with ifosfamide and dacarbzine until documented disease progression. A web-based central randomisation with block sizes of two and four was stratified by extent of disease, drug administration method, and previous systemic therapy. Patients and investigators will not be masked to treatment assignment. The primary endpoint is progression survival, analysed in the intention-to-treat population. Safety analyses will be done in all patients who receive any amount of study drug.

A web-based central randomisation with block sizes of two and four was stratified by extent of disease,anthracycline administration method, and previous systemic therapy. Participants and investigators will not be masked to treatment assignment. The primary endpoint will be assessed in the intention-to-treat population. The outcome assessors will be masked to the two research groups.
