Agents: Radiotherapy
Phase II
Status  Recruiting
Sponsor The Netherlands Cancer Institute

 

Further information: https://www.clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04425967?term=Short+Course+Of+Preoperative+Radiotherapy+in+Extremity+Soft+Tissue+Sarcomas&cond=sarcoma&draw=2&rank=1

 

WHO is the trial for?
  • Newly diagnosed intermediate to high grade soft tissue sarcoma localized to the extremities, trunk and chest wall or the head and neck area
  • No regional and/or distant disease
  • Overall health status of the patient has to be good (WHO Performance Status ≤ 2)

WHAT is the key question that this trial is attempting to answer?

This study aims to better understand, how the preoperative radiotherapy for sarcoma patients might be simplified by reducing the number of treatment sessions to 14 in 3 weeks instead of 25 sessions in 5 weeks. Toxicity of the two regimens and wound complications will be assessed.

WHY patients might want to participate?

This clinical trial offers patients an opportunity to access a new therapy strategy with potentially less side effects. It will further support the research in sarcomas and potentially help other patients with this disease. For more about the importance and benefits of joining clinical trials, please here.

WHEN will the trial be open?

 The study is open/recruiting.

WHERE is the trial available?

The trial is available in several study centers in The Netherlands. For further information please check here.
