The Combination of Radiotherapy，Surufatinib and Sintilimab in High-Risk Localized Soft Tissue Sarcoma

Phase 1

Recruiting

• Conditions: High-Risk Localized Soft Tissue Sarcoma
• Interventions: Drug: Surufatinib; Drug: Sintilimab; Radiation: Radiotherapy

• Registration Number: NCT05839275
• Lead Sponsor: Fudan University

Brief Summary

This is a prospective, single-center, single-arm, phase Ib/II clinical trial. The study aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the treatment which combines radiotherapy, Sintilimab (Anti-PD1 Antibody) and Surufatinib (small-molecule Tyrosine Kinase inhibitor) in patients with high-risk localized soft tissue sarcoma.

There will be 52 patients with high-risk localized extremity and trunck soft tissue sarcoma recruited. The trail is designed as a two-stage study. In safety lead-in phase (phase Ib), using 3+3 design, 6 cycles of Surufatinib (250mg, 200mg, qd) and Sintilimab (200mg, q3w) will be applied. And radiotherapy (BED=50-60Gy (α/β=10)) will begin in week 4 of the therapy. In extended phase (phase II), Surufatinib will be applied in the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) according to phase Ib. And 200mg Sintilimab and radiotherapy will be applied as before. The dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) in phase Ib and objective response rate (ORR) in phase Ib+Phase II will be mainly analyzed.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Treatment Arm	Radiotherapy	There will be 52 patients with high-risk localized extremity and truncal soft tissue sarcoma recruited. In safety lead-in phase (phase Ib): using 3+3 design, patients will receive 6 cycles of Surufatinib in three different dosages and Sintilimab. And radiotherapy will begin in week 4. In extended phase (phase II): Surufatinib in RP2D, Sintilimab and radiotherapy will be applied as before.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Objective Response Rate (ORR)	The objective response rate (ORR) will be evaluated before surgery.	The percentage of patients with objective response. Objective response is defined as complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) per response evaluation criteria (RECIST v1.1) before surgery.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Wound Complications	Up to 120 days from the surgery.	Postoperative incision healing, with reference to the Canadian study for grading of wound complications.
Local Control Rate	From the start of treatment to local recurrence, up to 5 years.	The proportion of subjects who recurred within the radiotherapy exposure field from the start of treatment to the imaging assessment of all evaluable subjects.
Quality of Life (QoL) according to the Musculoskeletal Tumor Society (MSTS)	Quality of Life (QoL) will be evaluated at least five times: before treatment, at 3, 6, 12 and 24 months respectively after surgery.	The Musculoskeletal Tumor Society (MSTS) is a measure of physical function across 7 items, including pain, range of motion, strength, joint stability, joint deformity, emotional acceptance, and overall function. Each item is scored from 0(worst) to 5(best) with a maximum possible score of 35, which is converted to a scale from 0 to 100 points
Quality of Life (QoL) according to the Short Form (SF)-36 questionnaires	Quality of Life (QoL) will be evaluated at least five times: before treatment, at 3, 6, 12 and 24 months respectively after surgery.	The Short Form (SF)-36 questionnaires is a 36-item health survey status which is composed of the following eight domains: physical functioning, role-physical, bodily pain, general health, vitality, social functioning, role-emotional, and mental health. Each of these domains can be rated from 0 (worst) to 100 (best). The final SF-36 score is converted to a 0-100 points range scale
Non-Perfused Volume (NPV)	The non-perfused volume (NPV) will be measured in four weeks before preoperative treatment and before surgery in week18-21.	The changes in tumour volume that are not enhanced in imaging images with contrast agent before and after treatment.
Adverse Events	From the beginning of treatment to 90 days after the end of the last treatment.	The toxic reactions are evaluated and graded according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events, Edition 5 (NCI-CTCAE V. 5).
Quality of Life (QoL) according to the Toronto Extremity Salvage Score (TESS)	Quality of Life (QoL) will be evaluated at least five times: before treatment, at 3, 6, 12 and 24 months respectively after surgery.	The Toronto Extremity Salvage Score (TESS) is a self-administered questionnaire evaluating possible limitations in physical activity. A total of 30 questions are included in the TESS, and the degree of disability is rated from 0 (complete disability) to 5 (no functional impairment) in each item
Pathological Complete Response (pCR) and Near pCR Rate	The pathologic complete response (pCR) rate will be evaluated from surgical samples, immediately after surgery.	The proportion of subjects whose pathological response rate of tumor tissue in postoperative specimens is ≥90% after preoperative treatment.
Progression-Free Survival (PFS)	Up to 5 years	The time from initiation of treatment to PD or death from any cause.
Overall Survival (OS)	Up to 5 years	The time from initiation of treatment to death from any cause.
