Total Duration
Researchers are evaluating the overall survival of adults with unresectable or metastatic soft tissue sarcomas, including liposarcoma, undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma, and leiomyosarcoma. The study focuses on participants whose disease progressed after receiving up to two standard treatments, including an anthracycline-based regimen unless contraindicated. This Phase 3 randomized trial compares an investigational drug combination administered directly into tumors with the current United States standard of care therapies. Participants receive INT230-6, a fixed combination of cisplatin, vinblastine, and SHAO, injected into tumors every two weeks for up to five sessions. After completing this initial treatment phase, they enter a maintenance phase lasting up to 22 months, during which new or previously treated lesions may be reinjected every 12 weeks. The comparison group receives standard therapies based on sarcoma subtype and investigator choice, including pazopanib daily, trabectedin infusion every three weeks, or eribulin IV on days 1 and 8 every three weeks. Throughout the study, participants are monitored for overall survival up to two years following randomization. Researchers will assess survival rates and compare the effectiveness of INT230-6 with standard therapies. Participants undergo regular evaluations, including imaging to measure tumors and laboratory tests to assess organ function and safety. The study aims to provide detailed information on treatment outcomes and safety in this population over the trial duration, which extends until December 2028.

This table compares participation in this trial with other options available for this condition. The information is drawn from published research and the trial’s study details and is provided for educational purposes only.
| Factors | INT230-6 intratumoral injection | US Standard of Care (eribulin, trabectedin, pazopanib) |
|---|---|---|
| What is it? | An investigational drug that combines cisplatin, vinblastine, and a novel excipient (SHAO) delivered by injection directly into tumors. | Approved standard-of-care drugs for advanced soft tissue sarcoma given after progression on initial therapies. Includes eribulin (IV), trabectedin (IV), or pazopanib (oral). |
| Role in the trial | Studied as the experimental arm, assigned randomly to eligible participants. | Serves as the active comparator, reflecting current standard-of-care practice in the United States and is also assigned randomly to participants. |
| Primary use | Intended for patients with advanced or metastatic soft tissue sarcoma who experienced progression after at least one prior standard regimen. | Used as subsequent-line therapy for advanced/metastatic soft tissue sarcoma following anthracycline-based or other standard therapies, tailored to histologic subtype and prior treatments. |
| How is it given or performed? | Injected directly into tumor lesions using image-guided technique. Dosing schedule as per trial protocol. | Administered according to each drug's label: eribulin and trabectedin by intravenous infusion, and pazopanib as an oral tablet. |
| Evidence status | Ongoing randomized phase 3 trial; earlier studies have examined biological activity and immune effects, but clinical outcome data in humans with soft tissue sarcoma are not yet established. | Substantial evidence from multiple phase 3 trials and clinical practice for benefit in advanced soft tissue sarcoma; increases progression-free and, for some drugs, overall survival in selected patients. International guidelines recommend as standard established options. |
| Important risks | Risks may include injection-site pain, local swelling, tumor necrosis, and treatment-related adverse events similar to those observed with cisplatin or vinblastine; safety profile in large patient cohorts is not yet established. | Eribulin, trabectedin, and pazopanib have known risks including neutropenia, fatigue, gastrointestinal upset, liver and heart effects, and others. Side effects are well-documented in published trials and clinical guidelines. |
| Important limitations | Long-term clinical benefit, survival, and safety compared to standard therapy are not yet demonstrated; only available in controlled clinical trials; optimal patient selection for benefit is unproven. | Standard options offer only modest long-term disease control for most patients; response rates and survival improvements are often limited, and optimal therapy may depend on sarcoma subtype. |
