About this trial
A Phase 1b, non-randomized, single-institution trial designed to assess the safety, tolerability and the highest dose with acceptable toxicity (RP2D) of BOLD-100 in combination with doxorubicin in patients diagnosed with advanced soft tissue sarcomas. The trial is divided into two phases: an initial dose-escalation phase for BOLD-100, followed by a dose-expansion phase based on the recommended dose for Phase 2. In the dose-escalation phase, we plan to enroll 12-15 patients, with an additional 17 patients in the dose-expansion phase.
Participants will receive BOLD-100 intravenously on Days 1 and 8 of a 21-day cycle, in combination with doxorubicin (75 mg/m², intravenous) administered on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle for up to six cycles. Participants will continue to receive BOLD-100 for as long as the cancer is not getting worse, The maximum cycles of doxorubicin are 6 cycles.
Participants will undergo a screening assessment prior to the start treatment to determine eligibility for enrollment. Treatment will commence on Day 1 and will continue until the protocol-defined criteria for treatment withdrawal are met. Disease response will be assessed using CT or MRI scans, starting at 12 weeks after the initiation of treatment and continuing every 12 weeks until withdrawal.
Upon treatment discontinuation or study withdrawal, a post-treatment assessment will be conducted at end of treatment and at 30 days of the last BOLD-100 dose, with follow-up visits scheduled every 3 months thereafter.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
The incidence of dose limiting toxicities (DLTs)
The rate of Adverse Events (AE)
The rate of Adverse Events (AE) characterized by type, frequency, severity graded by National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v. 5.0
Rate of toxicities
Rate of toxicities as per National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v. 5.0, adverse events (AEs), serious AEs (SAEs), dose interruptions and assessment.
Participant Quality of Life
Assessed using EORTC QLQ-C30 (European Organization For Research And Treatment Of Cancer, Core Quality of Life Questionnaire). With scores from 0 to 100. A high scale score represents a higher response level.
Secondary outcomes
Progression-free survival (PFS)
Progression-free survival (PFS), response rate using RECIST v 1.1, clinical benefit rate (CR, PR, SD \>16 weeks) using the Kaplan Meier method to estimate with corresponding 95% CI
Analysis of pharmacokinetic parameters of doxorubicin and BOLD-100
Analysis of pharmacokinetic parameters of doxorubicin and BOLD-100 (in the first 3 patients per dose level) using Peak Plasma Concentration (Cmax), which will be compared to single agent population PK of doxorubicin and BOLD-100.
Analysis of pharmacokinetic parameters of doxorubicin and BOLD-100
Analysis of pharmacokinetic parameters of doxorubicin and BOLD-100 (in the first 3 patients per dose level) using area under the plasma concentration versus time curve (AUC), which will be compared to single agent population PK of doxorubicin and BOLD-100.
Analysis of pharmacokinetic parameters of doxorubicin and BOLD-100
Analysis of pharmacokinetic parameters of doxorubicin and BOLD-100 (in the first 3 patients per dose level) using time to peak drug concentration (Tmax), which will be compared to single agent population PK of doxorubicin and BOLD-100.
Other outcomes
