Women of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test = 72 hours prior to Day 1 of study."}
Exclusion criteria
- {"criterion_text":"- 1 Precedente chemioterapia, terapia target a piccole molecole, o terapia radiante per l'attuale diagnosi di sarcoma\n- 2 Precedente terapia radiante in eccesso di 20 Gy in sede attuale di malattia. Non è ammessa sovrapposizione con precedenti campi di irradiazionein eccesso di 20 Gy.\n- 3 Malattie maligne attive concomitanti, clinicamente significative, entro due anni dall'arruolamento in studio.\n- 4 Pazienti con sarcoma recidivo locale dopo chirurgia sola solo eleggibili all'arruolamento a condizione che siano soddisfatti gli altri criteri di inclusione.\n- 5 Pazienti con malattia grave e /o incontrollata concomitante che secondo l'investigatore può mettere a rischio la sicurezza o compromettere la compliance con il protocollo\n- 6 Chirurgia maggiore entro 4 settimane dal Giorno 1 dello studio o da cui il paziente non si è adeguatamente ripreso.\n- 7 Assunzione concomitante di una terapia da studio o di un agente sperimentale entro 4 settimane al momento dell'arruolamento.\n- 8 Donne gravide o che stanno allattando oppure che stanno cercando una gravidanza o uomini che stanno cercando una paternità nella durata prevista dello studio clinico, che inizia con la visita di pre-screening o screening e si conclude a 120 giorni dopo l'ultima dose di pembrolizumab.\n- 9 Impossibilità ad attenersi alle procedure richieste dal protocollo.\n- 10 Diagnosi di immunodeficienza o terapia sistemica con steroidi in atto o qualsiasi altra forma di terapia immunosoppressiva per via orale o endovenosa entro 7 giorni prima della prima dose di trattamento da studio.\n- 11 Storia nota di TBC attiva (Bacillus Tuberculosis)\n- 12 Ipersensibilità al pembrolizumab o a qualsiasi dei suoi eccipienti\n- 13 Malattia metastatica o coinvolgimento dei linfonodi regionali. Una TAC del torace sarà obbligatoria prima dell'arruolamento per valutare la presenza di malattia metastatica. Nodulo/i polmonare/i < 5 mm senza diagnosi istologica non può/possono essere motivo di esclusione a causa dell'aspecificità della TAC torace. In presenza di noduli di dimensioni maggiori (6 – 10 mm), ma che appaiono stabili rispetto a immagini precedenti risalenti a 6 mesi prima o che una PET 18FDG segnala come non metastatici, l'arruolamento è consentito. Noduli polmonari >10 mm vanno considerati metastatici se non diversamente comprovato da biopsia/resezione o aspetto stabile per almeno 6 mesi nell'imaging."}
Endpoints
Primary endpoints
- {"endpoint_text":"- Disease-free survival will be the primary efficacy endpoint. Disease recurrence is defined as clinically diagnosed or biopsy-confirmed recurrent sarcoma at a site distant to the primary tumor, including nodal metastasis, loco-regional recurrence, and death without documented recurrence.","definition_or_measurement_approach":"Disease-free survival (DFS) measured as time to disease recurrence or death; disease recurrence defined as clinically diagnosed or biopsy-confirmed recurrent sarcoma at a site distant to the primary tumor, including nodal metastasis, loco-regional recurrence, and death without documented recurrence."}
Secondary endpoints
- {"endpoint_text":"- 1. To evaluate the loco-regional recurrence-free survival (RFS), the distant disease free survival, and overall survival (OS) in both patient cohorts.\n- 2. To test the safety of neoadjuvant pembrolizumab administered with conventionally fractionated radiotherapy targeting soft tissue sarcoma of the extremity","definition_or_measurement_approach":"1. Evaluate loco-regional recurrence-free survival (RFS), distant disease-free survival, and overall survival (OS) in both cohorts (time-to-event survival endpoints). 2. Assess safety/tolerability of neoadjuvant pembrolizumab with conventionally fractionated radiotherapy (adverse events, laboratory and clinical assessments)."}
