Program Overview
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a combination of three drugs—trabectedin, gemcitabine, and dacarbazine—given in specific doses to treat leiomyosarcoma, a type of cancer. The treatment is administered through an IV every three weeks, and patients can continue receiving it for up to a year unless the cancer progresses significantly or side effects become too severe.
Description
This study involves 80 patients who will receive a combination of three drugs: trabectedin, gemcitabine, and dacarbazine. These drugs are given in specific doses through an IV on the first and eighth days of each three-week cycle. Patients can continue the treatment for up to a year unless their cancer worsens significantly or they experience unacceptable side effects. If a patient withdraws or does not complete the first two treatment cycles and the initial follow-up scan, they will be replaced in the study.
