Maintenance Pazopanib, Limited Margin, Dose-Escalated Radiation Therapy and Selinexor for the Treatment of Non-rhabdomyosarcoma Soft Tissue Sarcoma

Trial Status: active

This phase I/II trial tests the safety, side, effects, best dose, and effectiveness of maintenance pazopanib, limited margin, dose-escalated radiation therapy and selinexor for the treatment of non-rhabdomyosarcoma soft tissue sarcoma (NRSTS). NRSTS is a type of cancer that occurs in the soft tissues of the body like connective tissue, tendons, fat, lymph and blood vessels, nerves. Treatment for NRSTS may include chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation therapy depending on the risk of cancer returning after treatment. Pazopanib is in a class of medications called kinase inhibitors. It may prevent the growth of new blood vessels that tumors need to grow. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays, particles, or radioactive seeds to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Selinexor is in a class of medications called selective inhibitors of nuclear export (SINE). It works by blocking a protein called CRM1, which may keep tumor cells from growing and may kill them. Chemotherapy drugs, such as ifosfamide and doxorubicin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Maintenance pazopanib, limited margin, dose-escalated radiation therapy and selinexor may be safe, tolerable and/or effective in treating patients with NRSTS.
