Detailed Description

This is a multicenter, randomized, open-label study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of MASCT-I combined with Doxorubicin and Ifosfamide for first-line treatment in patients with metastatic or recurrent unresectable advanced soft tissue sarcoma.

Conditions

Leiomyosarcoma; Liposarcoma; Synovial Sarcoma; Angiosarcoma; Undifferentiated Pleomorphic Sarcoma; Epithelioid Sarcoma; Malignant Peripheral Nerve Sheath Tumors; Fibrosarcoma; Pleomorphic Rhabdomyosarcoma; Endometrial Stromal Sarcoma; Desmoplastic Small Round Cell Tumor

Study Design

• Allocation Method: RANDOMIZED
• Intervention Model: PARALLEL
• Primary Study Purpose: TREATMENT
• Blinding Strategy: NONE

Study Groups

3. No previous treatment with systematic chemotherapy or targeted therapy for advanced soft tissue sarcomas or whose disease progressed after 6months of the end of neoadjuvant or adjuvant therapy.

4. At least one measurable and assessable lesion defined by RECIST 1.1;

5. ECOG performance status of 0-1;

6. Estimated life expectancy≥6 months;

9. Obtain the written informed consent of the patient/legal representative;

10. Subjects with potential fertility must agree to use effective contraceptive measure during and within 6 months after the treatment period. HCG test for female with potential fertility must be negative before the study was included.

Exclusion Criteria

1. Previous treatment with targeted therapy, radiotherapy (radiotherapy to non-target lesions or disease progressed after radiotherapy could be included.) or other antineoplastic drugs such as anlotinib, gemcitabine, within 4 weeks before randomization, or have received Chinese medicine or proprietary Chinese medicine for anti-tumor treatment within 2 weeks before randomization.

2. Highly differentiated liposarcoma, malignant perivascular epithelioid tumor, protuberant cutaneous fibrosarcoma, extraosseous osteosarcoma, solitary fibroma/hemangiopericytoma, acinous soft tissue sarcoma, extraosseous myxoid chondrosarcoma, gastrointestinal stromal tumor, invasive fibroma, renal angiomyolipoma, malignant mesothelioma, clear cell sarcoma, Ewing's sarcoma, etc., which are not suitable for Doxorubicin+ Ifosfamide (AI) treatment.

3. Previous treatment with anthracyclines or anthraquinones and whose cumulative dose exceeds equivalent 200mg/m2 doxorubicin.

4. Previous treatment with MASCT, or have received other cellular immunotherapy or anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1 antibody therapy in the past 1 year.

5. Use of immunosuppressive agents or systemic or inhaled local hormones (exceeding 10mg/day prednisone or its equivalent) and were still using them within 2 weeks before randomization.
