A Study of Eribulin With Gemcitabine in Patients With Advanced Liposarcoma or Leiomyosarcoma

• Status: Active, not recruiting
• Trial end date: 2021-11-30
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

The eribulin, a microtubule-dynamics inhibitor was approved for specific subtypes of STS. Eribulin demonstrated significantly better OS compared to dacarbazine in previously treated patients with liposarcoma and leiomyosarcoma and approved as standard treatment. However, the median progression free survival (PFS) and response rate (RR) was similar for both groups which remains modest outcome of 2.6 months of PFS and 4% of RR. Therefore, to improve antitumor activity, further combination strategy is strongly warranted. Based on the previous studies, investigators suggest phase II trial of eribulin and gemcitabine combination in previously treated patients with unresectable, advanced, or metastatic leiomyosarcoma or liposarcoma.
