  • Presence of measurable disease per RECIST v1.1
  • o Target lesions must not be chosen from a previously irradiated field unless there has been radiographically and/or pathologically documented tumor progression
  • QTc ≤ 480 msec using Fredericia's QT correction formula
  • Adequate organ function determined within 2 weeks of treatment initiation, defined as follows:
  • Hemoglobin ≥ 9.0 g/dL
  • Absolute neutrophil count ≥ 1,500/mm3 (1.0 x 109/L)
  • Platelet count ≥ 75,000/mm3 (50 x 109/L)
  • Serum bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN) OR direct bilirubin ≤ ULN for a patient with total bilirubin level > 1.5 x ULN
  • Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤ 2.5 x ULN OR ≤ 5 x ULN for patients with liver metastases
  • Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≤ 2.5 x ULN OR ≤ 5 x ULN for patients with liver metastases
  • Alkaline phosphatase < 5 x ULN
  • Serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 x ULN or a measured or calculated creatinine clearancea
  • ≥ 60 mL/min for a patient with creatinine levels > 1.5 x institutional ULN (Note: Creatinine clearance need not be determined if the baseline serum creatinine is within normal limits. GFR can also be used in place of creatinine or CrCl)
  • International normalized ratio (INR) or prothrombin time (PT) ≤ 1.5 X ULN unless patient is receiving anticoagulant therapy as long as PT or PTT is within therapeutic range of intended use of anticoagulants
  • Activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) ≤ 1.5 x ULN unless subject is receiving anticoagulant therapy as long as PT and PTT is within therapeutic range of intended use of anticoagulants
  • For female patients of childbearing potential, negative serum pregnancy test at screening visit and within 72 h prior to the first dose of study medication
  • aCreatinine clearance should be calculated per institutional standard.
  • Contraception Requirements
  • Female participants of reproductive potential and male participants with female partners of reproductive potential are required to use highly effective contraceptive measures from the first dose of study treatment until 30 days after the last dose of etrumadenant or 90 days after the last dose of zimberelimab, whichever is longer.
  • A female participant (or female partner of a male participant) is considered fertile following menarche and until becoming post-menopausal unless permanently sterile.
  • Permanent sterilization methods include hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy and bilateral oophorectomy.
  • A postmenopausal state is defined as no menses for 12 months without an alternative medical cause. A high follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) level in the postmenopausal range may be used to confirm a post-menopausal state in women not using hormonal contraception or hormonal replacement therapy. However, in the absence of 12 months of amenorrhea, a single FSH measurement is insufficient.
  • A man is considered fertile after puberty unless permanently sterile by bilateral orchidectomy
  • Highly effective contraception is defined as use of one or more methods that result in a low failure rate (i.e., less than 1%). Highly effective contraceptive measures include:
  • Combined (estrogen and progestogen containing) hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation: oral, intravaginal, transdermal
  • Progestogen only hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation: oral, injectable, implantable
  • Intrauterine device
  • Intrauterine hormone-releasing system in combination with a barrier method (preferably male condom)
  • Surgical sterilization
  • Female participant or female partner of the male participant has undergone bilateral tubal ligation
  • Male participant is vasectomized (with documented medical confirmation of surgical success) and is the sole sexual partner of a female with reproductive potential
  • Complete sexual abstinence defined as refraining from heterosexual intercourse during the entire period of risk associated with study treatment. The reliability of sexual abstinence needs to be evaluated in relation to the duration of the clinical trial and the preferred and usual lifestyle of the participant
  • To ensure proper birth control, female participants who use hormonal contraception should use an efficient barrier contraceptive (condom plus spermicide). Additionally, male participants, when having sexual intercourse with a female of reproductive potential, should use an efficient barrier contraceptive (condom plus spermicide); the respective partner should also use an additional efficient contraceptive method (e.g., oral pills, intrauterine device, or diaphragm, and spermicide).

Who cannot join

  • Patients who fulfil any of the following criteria are not eligible for admission to the study:
  • Prior treatment with systemic PD-1 or PD-L1 inhibitor
  • Prior treatment with an agent targeting the adenosine pathway
  • Have a concurrent unrelated malignancy that requires active treatment
  • o Patients with concurrent malignancies of a different tumor whose natural history or treatment will likely not interfere with the safety or efficacy assessment of the investigational drug will be eligible

  • Chronic carriers of HBV infection (HBsAg-positive, undetectable or low HBV DNA, and normal ALT) or individuals who have serologic evidence of a resolved prior HBV infection (i.e., HBsAg-negative and anti-HBc-positive) may be eligible if suppressive antiviral therapy can be safely administered.
  • Patients who have completed curative antiviral treatment for HCV and have a viral load below the limit of quantification will be eligible (e.g. a patient who is HCV Ab positive but HCV RNA negative due to prior treatment or natural resolution)
  • Has a known history of active tuberculosis infection
  • Has history or evidence of symptomatic autoimmune disease (e.g., pneumonitis, glomerulonephritis, vasculitis, or other), or history of active autoimmune disease that has required systemic treatment (i.e., use of corticosteroids, immunosuppressive drugs or biological agents used for treatment of autoimmune diseases) in the past 2 years.
  • Replacement therapy (e.g., thyroxine for hypothyroidism, insulin for diabetes or physiologic corticosteroid replacement therapy for adrenal or pituitary insufficiency) is not considered a form of systemic treatment for autoimmune disease.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Etrumadenant and Zimberelimab in people with Dedifferentiated Liposarcoma and Soft Tissue Sarcoma, run by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center at 7 sites in United States.

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 40 inclusion and 36 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: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Oct 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 7 sites in United States. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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?

Overall Response Rate (time frame: 24 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05886634.

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 22 Oct 2026.
