ECOG EA7222 Doxo + pembro vs Doxorubicin for undifferentiated pleomorphic and related sarcomas
What is the Purpose of this Study?
We are doing this study to find out if a drug called pembrolizumab (the study drug) is a safe and effective option for people with undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma (UPS) or a related poorly differentiated sarcoma. We want to know if adding it to treatment with the usual drug for this type of cancer can improve results.
What is the Condition Being Studied?
Undifferentiated Pleomorphic Sarcoma (UPS) or Related Poorly Differentiated Sarcoma
Who Can Participate in the Study?
Adults ages 18+ who:
- Are diagnosed with UPS or a related poorly differentiated sarcoma
- Have disease that is metastatic or unresectable
