WHO is the trial for?
  • Patients of 12 years or older with histologically confirmed angiosarcoma that cannot be surgically removed
  • Patients should not have received a VEGF inhibitor before and shouldn’t have more than max. 2 lines of prior treatment
  • Overall health status of the patient has to be good (ECOG performance status 0-1)

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

 This study tries to answer the question whether or not the addition of the new compound TRC105 (carotuximab, a so-called monoclonal antibody to endoglin) to a VEGF inhibitor pazopanib is favorable for patients with unresectable angiosarcoma.

WHY patients might want to participate?

 This clinical trial offers patients an opportunity to access a new therapy strategy. This trial will further support the research in angiosarcomas and potentially help other patients with this disease. The trial might or might not have benefit in your individual case.

WHEN will the trial be open?

  The study is terminated for lack of efficacy.

WHERE is the trial available?

The trial was available in several study centers in the US, France and the UK. More centers were planned to be opened in Austria, Germany, Italy, Poland and Spain.

STUDY DESIGN: What does the study look like?

There are 2 study arms (groups): all participating patients will be randomly divided (by a computer) in two groups. Half of the patients will be assigned to receive TRC105 plus pazopanib, the other half will receive pazopanib alone.
