Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates include adults aged 18 to 75 with unresectable locally advanced or metastatic soft tissue sarcoma who are eligible for specific combination therapies.

Probably not a fit

Patients with other types of sarcomas such as chondrosarcoma or osteosarcoma, or those who do not meet the inclusion criteria, may not benefit from this study.

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

What this trial studies

This study employs a novel radiomics approach to analyze CT and MRI images, aiming to identify parameters that can effectively assess the efficacy and prognosis of combined immunotherapy and targeted therapy for advanced soft tissue sarcoma (STS). By integrating radiomic data with traditional imaging, histopathological results, whole exome sequencing, and inflammatory indicators, the study seeks to develop a reliable model for predicting patient outcomes. The goal is to identify patients with advanced STS who are most likely to benefit from this combination therapy.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this model could significantly improve the ability to predict treatment responses in patients with advanced soft tissue sarcoma.

How similar studies have gone: While the use of radiomics in cancer treatment evaluation is gaining traction, this specific approach for advanced soft tissue sarcoma is relatively novel and has not been extensively tested in prior studies.

Inclusion Criteria:

* Male or female subjects aged from 18 to 75 years old;
* Subjects with histologically confirmed unresectable locally advanced or metastatic soft tissue sarcoma, which includes synoviosarcoma, leiomyosarcoma, undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma/malignant fibrous histiocytoma, fibrosarcoma, epithelioid sarcoma, angiosarcoma, alveolar soft-part sarcoma, etc. Chondrosarcoma, osteosarcoma, dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans, gastrointestinal stromal tumor and malignant mesothelioma are excluded;

* Disease must be measurable by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1). Previously irradiated focus can be considered as measurable only if there is definite progress after radiotherapy;
* Newly obtained or archived tumor tissue samples can be provided;
* Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status (ECOG PS) of 0 to 2 at trial entry;

* Already signed an informed consent form.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Patients whose tumors are judged by the investigators to be at high risk of invading vital blood vessels and causing fatal hemorrhage during the study.
* Occurrence of arterial/venous thrombotic events within 6 months before treatment, such as cerebrovascular accident (including transient ischemic attack, hematencephalon and cerebral infarction), deep vein thrombosis , pulmonary embolism, etc.
* Occurrence of clinically significant hemoptysis(\>5ml fresh blood in 4 weeks), hemorrhagic tendency(bleeding\>30ml within 3 months), such as gastrointestinal bleeding, hemorrhagic gastric ulcer, fecal occult blood test(FOBT) ++ in the baseline period , or vasculitis, etc;
* Hypertension that cannot be controlled stably by drugs, which is defined as: systolic blood pressure\>140mmHg or diastolic blood pressure\>90mmHg;

* Serum potassium, calcium (after correction for ionic or albumin-bound type) or magnesium are beyond the normal range and have clinical significance.
* Abnormal coagulation function (INR\>1.5 or PT\>ULN+4s or APTT \>1.5 ULN), hemorrhagic tendency or being treated with thrombolysis or anticoagulation therapy. Notes: on the premise of INR ≤ 1.5, it is allowed to use low-dose heparin (daily dosage of adults is 6000-12000U) or low-dose aspirin (daily dosage ≤ 100mg) for preventive purposes;
* With factors affecting oral drug administration: dysphagia, post-gastrointestinal resection, chronic diarrhea and intestinal obstruction, etc
* Presence of known active central nervous system metastasis and/or cancerous meningitis;
* With any active, known or suspected autoimmune disease (subjects who are in stable status and do not need systemic immunosuppressant are allowed to be enrolled, such as subjects with type 1 diabetes, hypothyroidism requiring hormone replacement therapy only, skin diseases (leucoderma, psoriasis or alopecia) without the need for systemic treatment or subjects whose situation is not expected to reappear without extrinsic incentive);
* Patients who are receiving systemic steroid treatment within 3 days before the first dose of trial drugs or any other form of immunosuppressive drugs. Notes: a. Corticosteroids can be used to deal with adverse reactions (AEs) and serious adverse reactions (SAEs) after period 1, and can also be used as a pre-medication for the control chemotherapy group, as a preventive drug for the allergy/reaction of intravenous contrast enhanced radiography, or if it is considered necessary for the subject to use. b. Except for the subjects who are receiving steroid replacement therapy every day. A daily dose of 5-7.5 mg of prednisone is an alternative treatment. c. Equivalent dose of hydrocortisone treatment can also be allowed to enter the trial if it is an alternative treatment.
* With any clinically significant active infection, including but not limited to: active tuberculosis, infection of Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV);
* HBV DNA of patients with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection must be \<100 IU/mL, and antiviral treatment should be carried out at the same time;
* Previous malignant disease within the last 5 years with the exception of post radical resection of basal or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin or cervical carcinoma in situ;
* Anticancer treatment within 4 weeks before the research, including but not limited to: chemotherapy, radical radiotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, antitumor traditional Chinese medicine/ Chinese patent medicine, transcatheter arterial chemoembolization, Cryoablation or radiofrequency ablation of liver metastases;
* History of receiving anti-angiogenic drugs such as surufatinib, bevacizumab, ramucirumab, aflibercept, anlotinib, apatinib, lenvatinib, sorafenib, sunitinib, regorafenib, fruquintinib, endostatin, etc.
* History of receiving anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1 or anti-PD-L2 drugs or drugs directly acting on another stimulatory or co-inhibitory T cell receptor (such as CTLA-4, OX-40, CD137, LAG3);
* History of allergy to any component of surufatinib and envafolimab;
* Accination with live or live/attenuated viruses within 4 weeks of the first dose of surufatinib/ envafolimab and while on trial is prohibited;
* Have major surgery, severe traumatic injuries, fracture or ulcer within 4 weeks before treatment;
* Pregnant or lactating women;
* Participate in other clinical trials at present or within four weeks before enrollment;
* According to the judgment of the researchers, the subject has other factors that may lead to the forced termination of the study, such as other severe diseases (including mental diseases) which need to be treated together, severe laboratory abnormalities , family or social factors.
