This trial to assess whether preoperative chemotherapy followed by surgery improves the prognosis of high risk DDLPS (dedifferentiated Liposarcoma) and LMS (Leiomyosarcoma) patients.
WHO is the trial for? |
|
WHAT is the key question that this trial is attempting to answer? |
This study aims to investigate if chemotherapy before surgery (peroperative/neoadjuvant) has a benefit versus surgery alone in patients with leiomyosarcomas or liposarcomas. |
WHY patients might want to participate? |
This clinical trial offers patients an opportunity to access a new therapy strategy. This trial will further support the research in sarcomas and potentially help other patients with this disease. The trial might or might not have benefit in your individual case. For more about the importance and benefits of joining clinical trials, please click here. |
WHEN will the trial be open? |
The study is open (recruiting) for participation. |

STUDY DESIGN: What does the study look like? |
All participants will be randomly divided (by a computer) in two groups: One groups receives surgery alone, the other group will be treated with chemotherapy before surgery.
For LPS, doxorubicin and ifosmomide will be administerd. For LMS, doxorubicin and dacarbacin (DTIC) will be applied as chemotherapy. |
