About this trial
Phase I-II trial that combines trabectedin plus radiotherapy for tumor reduction response measure in four cohorts of patients:
Cohort A: Patients with diagnosis of non-operable or unresectable or not oncologically recommended metastasectomy of limited to lung metastases soft tissue sarcoma.
Cohort B: Patients with locally advanced resectable Myxoid Liposarcoma. Cohort C: Patients with retroperitoneal and resectable soft tissue sarcoma (liposarcoma and leiomyosarcoma).
Cohort D (Phase II only): Patients with well differentiated liposarcoma and G2 dedifferentiated liposarcoma (with less than 30% dedifferentiated component).
Phase I: escalating dose of 1.3 or 1.5 mg/m2. Phase I for cohort C: de-escalating dose of 1.5 or 1.3mg/m2 Radiotherapy for cohort A: 30Gy in 10 fractions (3Gy/fraction). Radiotherapy for cohort B: 45Gy in 25 fractions (1.8Gy/fraction). Radiotherapy for cohort C: 45Gy in 25 fractions (1.8Gy/fraction).
Radiotherapy for cohort D: 45Gy in 25 fractions (1.8Gy/fraction). A translational substudy is developed to analyse different biomarkers predictive value.
Cohorts A and B are closed to recruitment in 2023.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
The patient must sign voluntarily the informed consent form before any study test is conducted that is not part of routine patient care.
Aged equal or over 18.
Patients must have a diagnostic of Soft Tissue Sarcoma with metastasis limited to lung, and not suitable for metastasectomy or surgery resection or not oncologically recommended metastasectomy.A centralized diagnostic will be performed, the tumor sample must be available and sent prior to inclusion.
Disease distribution allows meeting with normal tissue constraints of radiation therapy. Radiation oncologist must confirm this point.
Disqualifiers
Previous treatment with trabectedin or previous treatment with radiotherapy (except if previous radiotherapy treatment plus planned study radiotherapy treatment allow tissues constrains)
Performance status ≥ 2 (ECOG).
Plasma bilirubin > UNL.
Creatinine > 1.6 mg/dL.
Trial design
Single group
Treatments tested in this trial
Trabectedin
DrugEscalating or deescalating dose of 1.3 or 1.5mg/m2, i.v 24h, once every 3 weeks. Cohort A: unlimited cycles. Cohort B: 3 cycles. Cohort C: 3 cycles. Cohort D: cycles of trabectedin will be provided and patients will subsequently be evaluated for surgery.
Radiotherapy
Radiation3D conformal radiotherapy (3D-CRT) or intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) providing: Cohort A: 30Gy in 10 fractions (3Gy/fraction). Cohort B: 45Gy in 25 fractions (1.8Gy/fraction). Cohort C: 45Gy in 25 fractions (1.8Gy/fraction). Cohort D: 45Gy in 25 fractions (1.8Gy/fraction).

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Tumor size
Image tumor assessment: RECIST response for the combination of trabectedin plus radiation therapy in cohorts A and B. CHOI response for the combination of trabectedin plus radiation therapy in cohort C.
Relapse-free survival.
In cohort D to improve 5-year relapse-free survival (RFS), decreasing the 5-year relapse percentage from 30% to 10% in patients with well differentiated liposarcoma with cellular component and dedifferentiated G2 retroperitoneal resected liposarcoma (20% increase in RFS).
Secondary outcomes
Number and grade of adverse events
CTCAE v4.03 adverse events registration to evaluate safety
Number of months without progression
Progression free survival (PFS)
Number of months alive
Overall survival (OS)
Tumor size
Image tumor assessment measured by Choi criteria.
