Testing chemotherapy plus immunotherapy for advanced sarcoma
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study tests a combination of chemo medicines (gemcitabine, doxorubicin, docetaxel) plus an immunotherapy drug (nivolumab) for advanced sarcoma that can’t be removed with surgery. It may help shrink tumors and slow disease growth in people whose cancer has already been treated and is measurable on scans.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have sarcoma confirmed by pathology (biopsy or surgery results)
- Your sarcoma is locally advanced but not removable by surgery or has spread to other parts of the body
- You have had treatment before and your scans show measurable disease
- Your overall health is good enough for study treatment (ECOG 0–2) and you expect to live at least 3 months
- Your heart, liver, kidneys, and blood counts meet lab limits the study sets
- If you can become pregnant: you must use highly effective birth control and have a negative pregnancy test right before starting

This Phase 2 study tests a combination treatment for locally advanced or metastatic sarcoma that cannot be fully removed by surgery. It aims to shrink tumors and control disease by combining an injected cancer-killing medicine with two cancer-fighting drugs.
This trial tests a combination of paclitaxel polymer micelles with other drugs for people with advanced bone or soft tissue sarcoma that has worsened after first-line chemotherapy. The goal is to see if this new formulation can help shrink tumors or slow their growth.
This trial tests a combination of a PARP inhibitor drug, targeted radiation (SBRT), and immunotherapy for people with advanced sarcoma that has spread. It aims to see if this triple therapy can shrink tumors or slow the disease.
This trial tests trabectedin plus ipilimumab and nivolumab in people with advanced soft-tissue sarcoma that has already been treated. It aims to see how well this combination works and how safely it can be given.
This Phase 2 study tests a combination of three anti-cancer medicines to shrink or control leiomyosarcoma that cannot be fully removed by surgery or has spread. It may help people whose cancer has grown after prior treatment.
This trial tests a combination of two drugs—gemcitabine (a chemotherapy drug) and nab-sirolimus (a targeted therapy)—for people with advanced soft-tissue sarcoma or leiomyosarcoma, especially those whose tumors have a specific genetic change in the TSC2 or TSC1 genes. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink tumors or slow their growth.
