Pembrolizumab for advanced skin sarcomas (not angiosarcoma)
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This trial is testing a drug called pembrolizumab (Keytruda) for people with advanced soft tissue sarcomas that started in the skin. The goal is to see if this immunotherapy can help shrink or slow the growth of these tumors.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have a type of soft tissue sarcoma that started in the skin (not angiosarcoma).
- Your cancer must be advanced or have spread and cannot be removed completely with surgery.
- You must have at least one tumor that can be measured on a scan.
- You must be willing to provide a tumor tissue sample (from a previous biopsy or a new one).
- You must be at least 18 years old and have a good performance status (able to do your daily activities).

This trial tests a combination of two drugs, palbociclib and pembrolizumab, in people with certain types of advanced sarcoma (cancer of the soft tissues) that have continued to grow despite prior treatment. It aims to see if this combination can shrink tumors or slow down the cancer.
This trial tests whether pembrolizumab, an immunotherapy that helps your immune system attack cancer cells, can shrink or slow growth in several ultra-rare sarcoma types that have come back or spread. It may be an option if your previous treatments have stopped working.
This trial tests whether giving pembrolizumab along with chemotherapy delivered directly into an arm or leg (isolated limb infusion) can shrink sarcoma tumors. It is for people with advanced or metastatic sarcoma in an arm or leg who can safely have this local treatment.
This Phase 2 trial studies whether combining pembrolizumab and cabozantinib can control advanced sarcoma that can’t be removed by surgery and has grown or returned after standard treatment. It may help shrink tumors and improve outcomes in adults who have limited treatment options left.
This trial tests a combination of two drugs (pembrolizumab and lenvatinib) for people with a rare skin cancer called cutaneous angiosarcoma that cannot be removed by surgery. The goal is to see if the combination shrinks the tumor or slows its growth.
This trial compares a combination of immunotherapy (pembrolizumab) plus chemotherapy (doxorubicin) versus chemotherapy alone for people with aggressive, poorly differentiated sarcomas that have spread or cannot be removed. The goal is to see if adding immunotherapy helps shrink tumors or slow their growth better than chemotherapy alone.
