Nivolumab and BO-112 Before Surgery for the Treatment of Resectable Soft Tissue Sarcoma

This phase I trial studies the side effects of BO-112 when given together with nivolumab before surgery in treating patients with soft tissue sarcoma that can be removed by surgery (resectable). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Immunotherapy with BO-112, may induce changes in body's immune system and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving nivolumab and BO-112 before surgery may work better in treating patients with soft tissue sarcoma compared to nivolumab alone.

Hypofractionated, 3-week, Preoperative Proton or X-ray Radiotherapy for Patients With Localized Soft Tissue Sarcoma

The purpose of the study is to investigate whether a personalized selection of patients with localized soft tissue sarcoma for preoperative proton radiation therapy can reduce long-term radiation side effects without increasing surgical complications or reducing the effectiveness of the treatment. Two radiation plans will be created for each patient-one for protons and one for photons-and through a national meeting, we will determine which type of radiation therapy each patient will receive. The radiation dose will be the same for both photons and protons. The primary endpoint is surgical complications 120 days after surgery. Secondary endpoints include overall survival, local recurrence-free survival, disease-free survival, side effects, and quality of life. Furthermore, the study will investigate biomarkers that may predict response to radiation therapy, including changes in the tumor's genetic material (DNA), measurement of various molecules in the bloodstream, and the tumor's appearance on MRI scans. The study will be conducted in Norway, with a planned inclusion of 110 patients.

Dose-escalated, Hypofractionated, Definitive Proton Radiotherapy for Patients With Inoperable Soft Tissue Sarcoma.

The purpose of the study is to study if dose escalated proton radiotherapy can improve local controll for patients with inoperable soft tissue sarcomas. The standard treatment is photon-based radiation. By using proton radiotherapy instead, the hypothesis is that the dose can be increased to enhance treatment effectiveness without increasing side effects. The planned radiation dose is 56 Gy in 16 fractions (treatments) over 4 weeks (4 fractions per week), with a maximum dose escalation centrally in the tumor up to 80 Gy (5 Gy per fraction). At the same time, the study will investigate biomarkers that can predict treatment response, including changes in the tumor's genetic material (DNA), measurements of various molecules in the bloodstream, and the tumor's appearance on MRI scans. The primary endpoint is local control after 2 years, meaning that the treated tumor has not grown during this period. Secondary endpoints include overall survival, progression-free survival, radiological response rates, side effects, and quality of life. The study will be conducted in Norway, with a planned inclusion of 40 patients.

MASCT-I Combined With Doxorubicin and Ifosfamide for First-line Treatment of Advanced Soft Tissue Sarcoma

This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of MASCT-I combined with Doxorubicin and Ifosfamide for first-line treatment in patients with advanced soft tissue sarcoma.
