Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are individuals aged 14–70 with pathologically confirmed advanced or unresectable soft tissue sarcoma, measurable disease (RECIST 1.1), ECOG 0–1, and no progression after prior therapies or progression after PD-1 therapy if ≥6 months have passed.

Probably not a fit

Patients with brain metastases requiring therapy, significant comorbidities, or those not meeting measurable lesion criteria may derive little or no benefit.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This phase 2 interventional trial combines local tumor cryoablation with the anti-PD-1 antibody camrelizumab to treat advanced or unresectable soft tissue sarcoma after prior treatment failure. Participants must have multiple measurable lesions and adequate performance status, with no prior PD-1 therapy or progression after prior PD-1 exposure. The approach aims to elicit an immune response by exposing tumor antigens through cryoablation while enabling T-cell activity with camrelizumab. Eligible tumors include soft tissue sarcomas that are histologically confirmed and meet RECIST 1.1 criteria. The study is conducted at Sun Yat-sen University in Guangzhou, China, and is led by a single sponsor with no listed collaborators.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the combination could improve tumor control and possibly survival for patients with advanced soft tissue sarcoma.

How similar studies have gone: PD-1 inhibitors have shown activity in select soft tissue sarcomas, and cryoablation has been used for local control; combining them is an area with emerging but still early evidence.
