Trial of Nilotinib and Adriamycin as Treatment in Liposarcomas and Leiomyosarcomas of Retroperitoneum

Plain-language summary

Phase I/II multicenter and prospective trial of nilotinib and adriamycin as neoadjuvant treatment in liposarcomas and leiomyosarcomas of retroperitoneum. The main objective of this study is to improve relapse-free survival (RFS)and overall survival (OS) decreasing from 50% to 30% the relapse percentage at 5 years in patients with resected sarcoma of retroperitoneum. Secondary objectives include the analysis of antitumoral activity through response rate (RECIST and tissular changes), the assessment of positive correlation between biomarkers and clinical results, the study of long term overall survival, and the analysis of the safety profile of the nilotinib-adriamycin combination. The trial hypothesis is that the nilotinib-adriamycin combination is synergistic and therefore better response results are expected (from 20% as P0 to 40% as P1). The study seeks to find a positive correlation between biomarkers and clinical results in retroperitoneal liposarcoma and leiomyosarcoma treated with the mentioned combination. The study involves the participation of 20 hospitals of the Spanish Sarcoma Group (GEIS). The treatment consists of 4 neoadjuvant cycles of nilotinib-adriamycin on patients with resectable retroperitoneal sarcoma. The research comprises a robust translational study as well as histological and radiological reviews.

Inclusion Criteria: * Patients with histological diagnosis of well differentiated liposarcoma, dedifferentiated liposarcoma or primary leiomyosarcoma of retroperitoneum and resectable. In phase I the study will recruit patients with high-grade chondrosarcoma of non-mesenchymal type. * Age: 18-70 years. * Measurable disease, according to RECIST criteria. * Functional status: 0-1 (ECOG). * Baseline medullar function (hemoglobin \> 10 g/dL, leukocytes ≥ 3.000/mm3, RAN≥ 1,5 x 109 /l, granulocytes ≥ 1.500/mm3, platelets ≥ 100.000/mm3). Patients with alteration of transaminases ≤ 2.5 times the normal limits, bilirubin total ≤ LSN, CPK≤ 2.5 times the normal limits, alkaline phosphatase ≤ 2.5 times more the normal limits or creatinine values ≤ 1.6 mg/dL, are accepted. * Cardiac function (LVEF) normal, considering the normal ranges of the institution. * The patient must voluntarily sign the informed consent before any trial test, knowing that he/she can leave the trial at any time, without any consequence for his/her posterior medical attention. * Patients in fertile age (both male and female) must use an effective contraceptive method before the entry in the study and during the trial. Moreover, women must maintain contraceptive measures up to 5 months after the treatment. Pregnancy must be ruled out though urine test (negative pregnancy test) for study enrolment. Exclusion Criteria: * Patients having received previous chemotherapy. * Patient having been irradiated on the tumoral …

Questions worth asking your doctor

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator

The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
