Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • INCLUSION CRITERIA:
  • Stage 1
  • Patients must provide written informed consent prior to performance of study-specific procedures and must be willing to comply with treatment and follow-up. Informed consent must be obtained prior to start of the screening process. Procedures conducted as part of the patient's routine clinical management (e.g. blood count, imaging tests, etc.) and obtained prior to signature of informed consent may be used for screening or baseline purposes as long as these procedures are conducted as specified in the protocol.
  • Age: 18-80 years.
  • Histologic diagnosis of soft tissue sarcoma (undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma, synovial sarcoma, alveolar soft part sarcoma, clear cell sarcoma, angiosarcoma, epithelioid hemangioendothelioma, solitary fibrous tumor,epithelioid sarcoma and extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma) or bone sarcoma (osteosarcoma/high grade bone sarcoma, Ewing's sarcoma, chondrosarcoma and dedifferentiated chondrosarcoma) confirmed by central pathology review. Mandatory paraffin embedded tumor blocks must be provided for all subjects without exception for biomarker analysis before treatment (first biopsy) and at end of month 3 or earlier (second biopsy).
  • Metastatic/advanced disease in progression in the last 6 months.
  • Measurable disease according to RECIST 1.1 criteria.
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status of 0-1.
  • Adequate hepatic, renal, cardiac, and hematologic function.
  • Laboratory tests as follows:
  • Absolute neutrophil count ≥ 1,200/mm³
  • Platelet count ≥ 100,000/mm³
  • Bilirubin ≤ 1.5 mg/dL
  • PT and INR ≤ 1.5

Patients must not be pregnant or nursing at study entry. Women/men of reproductive potential must have agreed to use an effective contraceptive method.
  • INCLUSION CRITERIA 1, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 AND 10 OF STAGE 1, ARE REPEATED IN ALL COHORTS OF STAGE 2.
  • Stage 2
  • Cohort 1-6

Diagnosis of dedifferentiated chondrosarcoma, extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma, vascular sarcomas (including angiosarcoma, hemangioendothelioma and intimal sarcomas), solitary fibrous tumor (excluding dedifferentiated SFT), alveolar soft part sarcoma, and clear cell sarcoma confirmed by central pathology review. 4. Mandatory paraffin embedded tumor blocks must be provided for all subjects without exception for biomarker analysis before treatment. 5. Metastatic/locally advanced unresectable disease in progression in the last 6 months according to RECIST 1.1. Patients with recent diagnosis of metastatic disease can be eligible (if they are not candidates to anthracycline-based treatment).
  • 6\. Patients should have previously received at least anthracyclines. Patients in the cohorts of subtypes sensitive to antiangiogenic therapy (SFT, ASPS, CCS, EMC or DDCS) are eligible even if not previously treated. 7. Previous therapy with antiangiogenics is allowed.

Mandatory pre-treatment formalin-fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) tumor tissue must be provided for all subjects without exception for central pathology review and the translational study. Archive tissue can be used for diagnosis confirmation but a recent biopsy (\<3 months) is mandatory for translational research. If it is not available or is older than 3 months, the patient must be willing to have a pre-treatment re-biopsy of primary or metastatic tumor (baseline biopsy) within 28 days prior to enrollment. 7. The patient must be naïve of any previous treatment with anthracyclines (not even in adjuvant chemotherapy). 12.

  • Cohort 8
  • The patient or his/her legal tutors must provide written informed consent prior to performance of study-specific procedures and must be willing to comply with treatment and follow-up. Informed consent must be obtained prior to start of screening process. Procedures conducted as part of the patient's routine clinical management (e.g. blood count, imaging tests, etc.) and obtained prior to signature of informed consent may be used for screening or baseline purposes as long as these procedures are conducted as specified in the protocol.

The patient must be willing to have a pre-treatment re-biopsy of primary or metastatic tumor (baseline biopsy) within 28 days prior to enrollment if diagnosis biopsy does not have enough remaining tissue for translational purposes.
  • 7\. The patient must be naïve of any previous treatment. 12. Women and men of reproductive potential must have agreed to use an effective contraceptive method during study treatment and for 6 months after the last dose of study drug.
