About this trial

This is phase II randomized, multicenter study of treatment with L-TC and preoperative HFRT in patients who were aged 18 years or older with documented localised or locally advanced soft-tissue sarcoma of the extremity.

Eligible patients will be randomly assigned 2:1 to receive a preoperative HFRT alone (Arm A) or L-TC with preoperative HFRT (Arm B).

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Age ≥ 18 years

Localized or locally advanced soft tissue sarcoma of extremity proven by biopsy histological grade 2 and 3.

Pathological expert proof-reading in reference centers

HFRT and surgery planned (regardless the potential inclusion in this trial) as decided in a multidisciplinary tumor board, in reference centre (European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) guideline 2021)

Disqualifiers

Patient who cannot undergo MRI

Patients with localized or locally advanced soft tissue sarcoma of extremity proven by biopsy with histological grade 1

Previous radiation in the area

Woman who is pregnant or breastfeeding

Trial design

Design model

Parallel

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Administration of L-TC

    Drug

    Administration of L-TC (300 mg) as an IV perfusion, daily before each radiotion session

  • HFRT alone

    Radiation

    HFRT : 30 Gy in 5 fractions of 6 Gy. 1 fraction per day, 5 days per week.

Treatment groups

42 Participants
are divided into 2 treatment groups
Group A: Hypofractionated radiotherapy + Liposomal Transcorcetin (L-TC)Experimental treatment 1 intervention
Group B: Hypofractionated radiotherapy aloneActive comparator 1 intervention

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Evaluation of the efficacy of the L-TC treatment in combination with preoperative hypofractionated radiotherapy (HFRT)

Pathological complete response rate (pCR): defined as the presence of \< 10% residual malignant viable cells.

Time frame
At surgery (Between 4 and 8 weeks after the end of radiotherapy)

Secondary outcomes

1

Evaluation of the acute tolerance o f L-TC

Toxicities and biological analysis before each injection of L-TC and before surgery, described by type and grade, using the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5.0 classification

Time frame
Up to day 5 (every day during the treatment)
2

Evaluation of the late tolerance o f L-TC

Toxicities and biological analysis before each injection of L-TC and before surgery, described by type and grade, using the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5.0 classification

Time frame
Up to day 28 after the end of treatment.
3

Evaluation of the acute tolerance of radiotherapy

Global tolerance (radiotherapy toxicities (oedema, radiodermatitis, fibrosis, bone fracture) and laboratory abnormalities) at each physician consultation for radiotherapy and at follow-up, using the CTCAE v.5.0 classification

Time frame
Up to day 5 (every day during the treatment)
4

Evaluation of the late tolerance of radiotherapy

Global tolerance (radiotherapy toxicities (oedema, radiodermatitis, fibrosis, bone fracture) and laboratory abnormalities) at each physician consultation for radiotherapy and at follow-up, using the CTCAE v.5.0 classification

Time frame
at 4 months after surgery, and at 12, 18, 24, 36 and 60 months
