Pazopanib in Combination with Trabectedin, Ipilimumab and Nivolumab for the Treatment of Pediatric and Young Adults with Recurrent and Refractory Soft Tissue Sarcoma

Trial Status: approved

This phase I trial tests the safety, side effects and best dose of pazopanib in combination with trabectedin, ipilimumab and nivolumab and how well the combination works in treating pediatric and young adults with soft tissue sarcomas that have come back after a period of improvement (recurrent) or that have not responded to previous treatment (refractory). Pazopanib, a type of protein tyrosine kinase inhibitor and a type of antiangiogenesis agent, may stop or slow the growth of tumors by blocking the growth of new blood vessels necessary for tumor growth. Trabectedin binds to deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and causes breaks in the DNA. It also blocks the ability of the cell to repair the DNA damage, and may cause tumor cells to die. It is a type of DNA excision repair inhibitor. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as ipilimumab and nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the tumor, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving pazopanib in combination with trabectedin, ipilimumab and nivolumab may be safe, tolerable, and/or effective in treating pediatric and young adult patients with recurrent or refractory soft tissue sarcomas.
