Spots Global Cancer Trial Database for Pembrolizumab and Radiation Therapy in Treating Patients With Intermediate or High-Grade Soft Tissue Sarcoma

Study Description

Brief Summary: This phase I/II trial studies pembrolizumab and radiation therapy in treating patients with intermediate or high-grade soft tissue sarcoma. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Giving pembrolizumab and radiation therapy may work better in treating patients with soft tissue sarcoma.

Detailed Description: OUTLINE: Patients receive pembrolizumab intravenously (IV) per institutional standard at the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance as an outpatient therapy. Cycles repeat every 3 weeks, up to a maximum of three doses, for 3 months in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients also undergo radiation therapy daily for 5-6 weeks beginning on Day 1 of Week 2. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 30 days after last dose, 90 days after last dose, 30 days after post-operative visit (wound care follow-up), and then every 12 weeks for up to 1 year, then every 6 months up to 5 years.
