Soft-tissue sarcomas represent a heterogeneous group of cancer, with more than 50 histological subtypes1,2. The clinical presentation patients different subtypes is often atypical, and responses to therapies such as immune checkpoint blockade vary widely3,4. To explain this variability, here we study gene expression profiles in 608 tumours across soft-tissue sarcoma. We establish an immune-based classification on the basis composition tumour microenvironment identify five distinct...

Summary Total therapy 3 incorporated bortezomib into a melphalan‐based tandem transplant regimen for 303 newly diagnosed patients with myeloma. Induction chemotherapy prior to and consolidation after transplants each consisted of two cycles VTD‐PACE (bortezomib, thalidomide, dexamethasone 4‐d continuous infusions cis‐platin, doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide, etoposide); 3‐year maintenance comprised monthly VTD in the first TD remaining years. The median age was 59 years (age >64 years, 28%)....

PURPOSE SARC024 is a phase II clinical trial of the multikinase inhibitor regorafenib in specific sarcoma subtypes, including advanced osteosarcoma. We hypothesized that would improve progression-free survival (PFS) patients with and report results osteosarcoma cohort. PATIENTS AND METHODS This enrolled progressive metastatic measurable disease by RECIST who had received at least one prior line therapy. Patients were randomly assigned ratio to or placebo. Crossover was allowed time...

Abstract Purpose: We recently reported a 17.5% objective RECIST 1.1 response rate in phase II study of pembrolizumab patients with advanced sarcoma (SARC028). The majority responses occurred undifferentiated pleomorphic (UPS) and dedifferentiated liposarcoma (DDLPS). sought to determine whether we can identify immune features that correlate clinical outcomes from tumor tissues obtained pre- on-treatment. Patients Methods: Pretreatment (n = 78) 8-week on-treatment 68) biopsies were stained...

Summary Total Therapy 1, the first tandem autotransplant trial for newly diagnosed patients with multiple myeloma, was designed to increase frequency of complete response (CR) and thereby extend survival. With a median follow‐up 12 years, 62 231 initially enrolled are alive (17% at 15 years); 31 remain event free (7% years) including 16 94 (41%) that achieved CR. Currently less frequently had cytogenetic abnormalities (CAs) baseline ( P = 0·002), postenrolment < 0·001) relapse 0·004);...

BACKGROUND Alveolar soft part sarcoma (ASPS), chondrosarcoma (CS), chordoma, epithelioid sarcoma, and solitary fibrous tumor (SFT) are malignant tumors that relatively resistant to chemotherapy for which more effective drug therapy is needed. METHODS The 5 listed subtypes were enrolled into a single indolent cohort in phase 2 study of dasatinib using Bayesian continuous monitoring rule enrollment. primary objective was estimate the 6‐month progression‐free survival (PFS) rate according Choi...

11015 Background: Immune checkpoint inhibitors have demonstrated activity in multiple tumor types but their soft tissue sarcomas remains limited. In the multicenter phase II study, SARC028, anti-PD-1 antibody, P objective responses that were largely restricted to UPS and LPS subtypes. We now report outcomes from 2 expansion cohorts of SARC 028 advanced LPS. Methods: To further confirm clinical LPS, we enrolled an additional 30 pts each for a total 40 pts. Primary endpoint was...

Regorafenib is one of several FDA-approved cancer therapies targeting multiple tyrosine kinases. However, there are few subtype-specific data regarding kinase inhibitor activity in sarcomas. We report results a single arm, phase II trial regorafenib advanced Ewing family sarcomas.Patients with metastatic sarcomas (age ≥ 18, ECOG 0-2, good organ function) who had received at least line therapy and experienced progression within 6 months registration were eligible. Prior inhibitors not...

<h3>Importance</h3> Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are life-threatening when metastatic or not amenable to surgical removal. In a few patients with advanced GISTs refractory imatinib mesylate, treatment sunitinib malate followed by regorafenib provides tumor control; however, additional active treatments needed for most patients. <h3>Objective</h3> To evaluate the 6-month progression-free survival (PFS), objective response, and overall rates in treated dasatinib. <h3>Design,...
