SARC009

Trial of Dasatinib in Advanced Sarcomas

TYPE OF SARCOMA: Leiomyosarcoma, liposarcoma, MFH/pleomorphic undifferentiated sarcoma, rhabdomyosarcoma, malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor, osteosarcoma (skeletal or extraosseous), chondrosarcoma, ewing’s, alveolar soft part sarcoma, chordoma, epithelioid sarcoma, giant cell tumor of bone, hemangiopericytoma/solitary fibrous tumor, gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST)
DRUG: Dasatinib

IMPACT STATEMENT:
SARC009 sought to determine if treatment of soft tissue or bone sarcoma with dasatinib resulted in anti-sarcoma activity through change in the size and density of tumor. Patients were enrolled into sarcoma sub-type specific treatment cohorts with enrollment proceeding if there was evidence of drug activity in patients treated early in the trial and stopping if no anti-sarcoma activity was seen (Bayesian enrollment design). Sarcoma response was seen in patients with chordoma, chondrosarcoma, undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma, leiomyosarcoma and gastrointestinal stromal tumor. SARC009 was one of the first studies to demonstrate that evaluation of chemotherapy could be successfully accomplished in histology specific cohorts in rare sarcomas.
