About this study

Official title: Phase II Study of Neoadyuvant High-dose Ifosfamide and Concurrent Radiotherapy in Soft Tissue Sarcoma and Identification of Response Predictors

To study the activity and toxicity of a neoadjuvant regimen including high-dose ifosfamide in combination with radiotherapy, and subsequent surgery, in high-risk soft tissue sarcomas.

Read the detailed description

This is a phase II multicenter study designed in two phases. A total of 32 patients will be included in 10 hospitals belonging to the Spanish Group for Research in Sarcomas (GEIS). Selection criteria are: patients with localized soft tissue sarcoma from the extremities or trunk with high-risk features (>5 cm and grade 2-3), or recurrences after prior inadequate surgery. The treatment schedule will be: initial biopsy, 3 cycles of high-dose Ifosfamide, 12 gr/m2 in 5 days, concurrent with Radiotherapy 50 Gy, and subsequent wide surgery. To assess the predictive factors of response to the combination therapy, DNA and RNA extraction will be performed on the pretreatment biopsies. DNA will be used to hybridize Affymetrix GeneChip® Human Mapping 500K Array, which allows for the study of 500000 SNPs throughout the genome. The expression of 39000 RNA transcripts will be evaluated employing the Affymetrix Genechip Human Genome HG-U133 Plus 2.0, and validated by real-time RT-PCR.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Ifosfamide in people with Soft Tissue Sarcoma, run by Grupo Espanol de Investigacion en Sarcomas at 1 site in Spain.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 13 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Mar 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Spain. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The efficacy of the neoadyuvant high-dose of ifosfamide and radiotherapy, determined with clinical and pathological responses (time frame: 10 weeks since the inclusion of the patient). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 20 Mar 2012; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
