Adriamycin and Ifosfamide Combined With Sintilimab

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
The aim of this study was to explore the efficacy and safety of adriamycin and ifosfamide combined with sintilimab in the treatment of advanced or unresectable soft tissue sarcoma.

Detailed Description
-----------------
At present, there are a number of clinical trials of chemotherapy drugs combined with anti PD-1 antibody in the treatment of cancer, but the clinical research of chemotherapy containing adriamycin combined with anti-PD-1 antibody for advanced STS patients is almost blank. Regimen containing adriamycin is the standard chemotherapy regimen for advanced STS approved by international guidelines. As an innovative PD-1 monoclonal antibody, more phase II clinical studies are needed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of sintilimab in a variety of cancers. For patients who fail or cannot tolerate first-line treatment, treatment options are still limited. In view of the above problems, this study aims to observe and explore the efficacy and safety of chemotherapy including adriamycin combined with sintilimab in the second-line treatment of patients with advanced STS, so as to provide more and better treatment options for patients with advanced STS.

Exclusion Criteria: 1) Patients who had previously received anti-PD-1 / PD-L1 antibody therapy. 2) Other malignancies occurred or were present within 5 years, except for cervical carcinoma in situ, non melanoma skin cancer and superficial bladder tumor [ta (non invasive tumor), tis (carcinoma in situ) and T1 (tumor infiltrating basement membrane)]; 3) The patients with thyroid dysfunction after the best drug treatment; 4) Systemic anti-tumor therapy including cytotoxic therapy, signal transduction inhibitors, immunotherapy (or mitomycin C within 6 weeks prior to the trial drug treatment) was planned within 4 weeks before enrollment or during the study period. Over extended field radiotherapy (ef-rt) was performed within 4 weeks before admission or limited field radiotherapy (rfrt) was performed within 2 weeks before grouping; 5) With pleural effusion or ascites, it causes respiratory syndrome (≥ CTC AE grade 2 dyspnea [grade 2 dyspnea refers to shortness of breath with a small amount of activity; it affects instrumental activities of daily living]); 6) Any unrelieved toxic reaction higher than CTC AE (4.01) grade 1 or above caused by previous treatment, excluding alopecia; 7) Patients with any severe and / or uncontrolled disease, including: Patients with poor blood pressure control (SBP ≥ 150 mmHg, DBP ≥ 100 mmHg); Patients with myocardial ischemia or myocardial infarction of grade I or above, arrhythmia (including QTc ≥ 480ms) and congestive heart failure (NYHA) grade ≥ 2; Active or uncontrolled severe infection (≥ CTC AE Level 2 infection); Chronic liver disease, decompensated liver disease or decompensated hepatitis; Renal failure needs hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis; Poor control of diabetes mellitus (FBG > 10mmol / L); Urine routine examination showed that urine protein was ≥ + +, and 24-hour urine protein was more than 1.0 G; Patients with epilepsy and need treatment; 8) Major surgical treatment, open biopsy or obvious traumatic injury were performed within 28 days before admission; 9) Patients with any physical signs or history of bleeding regardless of severity; patients with any bleeding or bleeding events ≥ CTCAE 3 within 4 weeks before enrollment had unhealed wounds, ulcers or fractures; 10) Patients who had AVT events within 6 months, such as cerebrovascular accident (including transient ischemic attack), deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism; 11) There were active ulcer, intestinal perforation and intestinal obstruction; 12) Subjects with clinical symptoms of central nervous system metastasis (such as brain edema, need for hormone intervention, or brain metastasis progression); patients who have previously received treatment for brain or meningeal metastasis, such as clinical stability (MRI) for at least 2 months, and who have stopped systemic hormone therapy (dose > 10mg / day, prednisone or other effective hormones) for more than 2 weeks can be included; 13) The subjects were using immunosuppressive agents, or systemic or absorbable local hormone therapy to achieve the purpose of immunosuppression (dosage > 10mg / D, prednisone or other effective hormones), and continued to use them within 2 weeks before enrollment; 14) Subjects with any active autoimmune disease or history of autoimmune diseases (e.g., but not limited to: interstitial pneumonia, uveitis, enteritis, hepatitis, hypophysitis, vasculitis, nephritis, hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism; if the subject has vitiligo or asthma has been completely relieved in childhood, it is not necessary to be an adult Any intervention can be included; asthma patients who need bronchodilator for medical intervention cannot be included); 15) The subjects had active tuberculosis; 16) According to the judgment of the researcher, the subjects are not suitable to be enrolled or there are other factors that may lead to termination of the study, such as other serious diseases (including mental diseases) requiring combined treatment, serious laboratory examination abnormalities, and family or social factors, which will affect the safety of the subjects, or the collection of test data and samples; 17) Patients who participated in other clinical trials of anti-tumor drugs within 28 days before enrollment.
