Run by Fudan University · NCT05839275 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study is testing a new treatment that combines radiotherapy with two medications, Surufatinib and Sintilimab, to see if it can help people with high-risk localized soft tissue sarcoma.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates for this study are adults aged 18 to 70 with high-risk localized soft tissue sarcoma that is either borderline resectable or unresectable.

Probably not a fit

Patients with distant metastases or specific histological types of sarcoma such as osteosarcoma or malignant mesothelioma may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial evaluates the safety and efficacy of a treatment regimen that combines radiotherapy with Surufatinib, a small-molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitor, and Sintilimab, an anti-PD1 antibody, in patients diagnosed with high-risk localized soft tissue sarcoma. The study is designed as a two-stage process, starting with a safety lead-in phase (Phase Ib) that utilizes a 3+3 design to determine the appropriate dosing of the medications. Following this, the extended phase (Phase II) will assess the treatment's effectiveness based on the recommended phase 2 dose established in the initial phase. A total of 52 patients will be recruited for this single-center trial.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment approach could provide a new effective option for patients with high-risk localized soft tissue sarcoma.

How similar studies have gone: While this approach combines established treatments, the specific combination of Surufatinib and Sintilimab with radiotherapy in this context is novel and has not been extensively tested in prior studies.
