Navtemadlin and Radiation Therapy in Treating Patients With Soft Tissue Sarcoma

Completed · Phase 1

Conditions studied: Resectable Soft Tissue Sarcoma, Soft Tissue Sarcoma

In brief

This phase Ib trial studies the side effects of navtemadlin and radiation therapy in treating patients with soft tissue sarcoma. Navtemadlin may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Giving navtemadlin and radiation therapy before surgery may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed.

You may qualify if…

• PRIOR TO STEP 1 REGISTRATION INCLUSION CRITERIA
• Patients with pathologically proven diagnosis of grade 2-3 (intermediate or high grade) soft tissue sarcoma with size >= 5 cm are eligible to enroll if the intention to treat is curative. They must have sufficient tissue to submit to central laboratory for review as well as for NGS sequencing (see submission requirement). Biopsy should be obtained within 180 days prior to registration. Availability of tumor tissue is mandatory for study eligibility. The patient must have consented to provide archived formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tumor tissue for future central pathology review, NGS sequencing and/or translational research
• Appropriate stage for study entry based on the following diagnostic workup:
• History/physical examination within 30 days prior to registration;
• Imaging of the primary tumor by MRI and/or computed tomography (CT) with or without contrast and/or positron emission tomography (PET)/CT within 30 days prior to registration;
• Staging workup evaluated by chest CT and/or PET/CT showing no distant metastasis within 30 days prior to registration
• There is a planned definitive surgical resection of the primary tumor

• Platelet count >= 100,000/uL (within 30 days prior to registration)
• Hemoglobin: >= 10 g/dL (transfuse as necessary to raise levels; no transfusions within 7 days of start) (within 30 days prior to registration)
• Calculated creatinine clearance >= 60 ml/min (by Cockcroft-Gault formula) within 30 days prior to registration
• The patient has an adequate coagulation function as defined by international normalized ratio (INR) =< 1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN) or prothrombin time (PT) =< 1.5 x ULN, and partial thromboplastin time (PTT or aPTT) =< 1.5 x ULN (those receiving anticoagulation therapy except low molecular weight heparin are excluded) (within 30 days prior to registration)
• Total bilirubin =< 1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN) appropriate for age (except for patients with Gilbert's syndrome, who must have a total bilirubin < 3 mg/dL) (within 30 days prior to registration)
• Serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT) aspartate aminotransferase (AST) or serum glutamate pyruvate transaminase (SGPT) alanine aminotransaminase (ALT) < 2.5 upper limit of normal (ULN) appropriate for age (within 30 days prior to registration)
• Females of child-bearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test within 7 days prior to registration; exceptions: females not of child-bearing potential due to surgical sterilization (at least 6 weeks following tubal ligation, hysterectomy, or surgical bilateral oophorectomy with or without hysterectomy) confirmed by medical history; or female after menopause
• A "postmenopausal woman" is a woman meeting either of the following criteria:
• Spontaneous amenorrhea for at least 12 months, not induced by a medical condition such as anorexia nervosa and not taking medications during the amenorrhea that induced the amenorrhea (for example, oral contraceptives, hormones, gonadotropin releasing hormone, antiestrogens, selective estrogen receptor modulators [SERMs], or chemotherapy)
• Spontaneous amenorrhea for 6 to 12 months and a follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) level > 40 mIU/mL
• Females of child-bearing potential and males must agree to use highly effective contraceptive precautions during the trial and up to 12 months following the last dose of study treatment; a highly effective method of birth control is defined as one that results in a low failure rate (that is, < 1% per year) when used consistently and correctly, such as implants, injectables, combined oral contraceptives, some intrauterine contraceptive devices (IUDs), sexual abstinence, or a vasectomized partner
• The patient or a legally authorized representative must provide study-specific informed consent prior to study entry
• PRIOR TO STEP 2 REGISTRATION INCLUSION CRITERIA
• TP53 sequencing by NGS performed by central pathology lab
