ipilimumab + nivolumab + cryotherapy in metastatic or locally advanced soft tissue sarcoma

Conditions: Soft Tissue Sarcoma

Summary: the purpose of this phase 2 study is to 1. find out if the study drugs (ipilimumab plus nivolumab) in combination with cryotherapy will help participants with metastatic or locally advanced soft tissue sarcoma;. 2. find out how safe are ipilimumab plus nivolumab given in combination with cryotherapy, and what side effects may be related to treatment. 3. find out how do the study drugs in combination with cryotherapy work in soft tissue sarcoma.

primary objectives: 1) assess whether the rate of clinical benefit is sufficiently high to merit promise for further study secondary objectives: 1. characterize the 6-month progression-free survival rate 2. assess whether the treatment yields a reasonably safe and tolerable profile
