Brief Title: Neoadjuvant Durvalumab and Tremelimumab Plus Radiation for High Risk Soft-Tissue Sarcoma
Official Title: Neoadjuvant Anti-PD-L1 (Durvalumab/MEDI4736) Plus Anti-CTLA-4 (Tremelimumab) and Radiation for High Risk Soft-Tissue Sarcoma
Study ID: NCT03116529
Brief Summary: Chemotherapy is controversial for soft tissue sarcoma that has not yet metastasized. Surgery and radiation are effective for local control, but there are no highly effective interventions to prevent metastatic spread of soft tissue sarcoma. Immunotherapy has shown promise in other types of cancer. Combining two types of immunotherapy agents with preoperative radiation may help the immune system recognize the sarcoma and stimulate an anti-tumor immune response.
Detailed Description: The main purposes of this study are to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of Durvalumab and Tremelimumab in combination with radiation prior to surgical resection of high-risk soft tissue sarcoma in the pelvis and extremities. Patients will receive the same radiation therapy and surgical care they would receive normally and with no change in timing or duration of each treatment. They will also receive two immunotherapy agents, Durvalumab and Tremelimumab, during radiation prior to surgery, and a single agent, Durvalumab, after surgery.
