Sarcoma Clinical Trial
Official title:
Hypofractionated 5x5 Gy Radiotherapy With Sequential Doxorubicin and Ifosfamide-based Chemotherapy in Marginally Resectable Soft Tissue Sarcomas of Extremities or Trunk Wall
After a screening, which consists of biopsy, physical examination, initial diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWI-MRI), body computed tomography (CT) scan, blood tests and case analysis on Multidisciplinary Team (MDT) meeting, a patient will receive the first course of chemotherapy - doxorubicin 75 mg/sqm and ifosfamide 10 g/sqm (AI regimen) with prophylactic mesna. Then a patient will be irradiated 5x5 Gy and after radiotherapy he or she will receive two courses of AI within 4-6 weeks, depending on the tolerance. Then the response analysis in DWI-MRI and toxicity assessment and will be performed. On the second MDT meeting, a final decision about resectability of the tumor will be made. In case of resectability, a patient will be referred to surgery.
There is lack of standard treatment of marginally resectable sarcomas. Results of commonly used approaches are unsatisfactory. The addition of neoadjuvant/induction chemotherapy before the irradiation and in the prolonged gap between the end of hypofractionated 5x5 Gy radiotherapy and surgery may allow to obtain the R0 resection rate, high pathological response rate and/or a higher rate of limb-sparing/conservative surgery as well as to increase patients' survival. Hypofractionation represents a variation of radiotherapy fractionation in which the total dose is divided into fewer fractions with an increased fraction dose. Such treatment may lead to additional biological effects when compared to conventionally fractionated radiotherapy (eg. vascular damage, increased immunogenicity, and antigenicity). The main advantages of hypofractionation are those related to the decreased overall treatment time what is more convenient for both patients and physicians, increased compliance and makes the treatment more cost-effective. Intriguing, such an approach may provide an additional benefit when treating non-radiosensitive tumors with a low alpha/beta ratio (eg. sarcomas). The basis of the study was a trial conducted by Kosela et al. in our center, which showed that preoperative short 5x5 Gy radiotherapy with immediate surgery is an effective and well-tolerated treatment of resectable sarcomas of extremities or trunk wall. The rationale of chemotherapy comes from the interim analysis of a multicenter, international EORTC study comparing neoadjuvant systemic approaches in high-risk sarcomas. It was proven that AI regimen, which consists of ifosfamide and anthracyclines allowed to obtain 20% benefit in relapse-free survival and overall survival as compared to pathologically-tailored chemotherapy. ;
