Summary

This trial is testing a new combination of drugs to treat advanced sarcoma, including desmoid tumors and chordoma.

Who is the study for?
Adults with advanced sarcoma, including desmoid tumor and chordoma, who are fit (ECOG ≤ 1) and have a life expectancy of at least 3 months. They must be able to understand the study, consent to it, and agree to use effective contraception. Those with certain organ functions within specific limits can join. People with active herpes infections or recent treatments that could interfere are excluded.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing talimogene laherparepvec, nivolumab, and trabectedin as potential first to third line therapies for advanced sarcoma. It's a Phase 2 study where these drugs are given in combination to see how well they work together against this type of cancer.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include reactions related to immune system activation such as fatigue, flu-like symptoms, skin reactions at the injection site for talimogene laherparepvec; issues like rash or liver function changes from nivolumab; and nausea or blood cell count changes from trabectedin.

Experimental Treatment
Group I: Talimogene laherparepvec, Nivolumab and TrabectedinExperimental Treatment3 Interventions
This is an open label phase 2 study using known doses of TALIMOGENE LAHERPAREPVEC injected intratumorally, and NIVOLUMAB AND TRABECTEDIN given intravenously. A total of 40 previously untreated and treated patients will receive TRABECTEDIN 1.2 mg/m2 CIV over 24 hours q3 weeks, NIVOLUMAB 240 mg IV over 30 min q 2 weeks and TALIMOGENE LAHERPAREPVEC intratumorally q 2 weeks according to tumor size (see Schematic of Study Design and Imlygic product information; www.accessdata.fda.gov). Patients in this study may continue treatment until significant disease progression (see below for criteria for discontinuation of therapy) or unacceptable toxicity occurs up to one year of therapy.
