Trabectedin for patients with advanced soft tissue sarcoma: A non-interventional, retrospective, multicenter study of the italian sarcoma group
2021
The Italian Sarcoma Group performed this retrospective analysis of patients with advanced soft tissue sarcoma, pretreated with ≥1 anthracycline-based treatment, and treated with trabectedin every three weeks. Primary endpoint was to describe real-life use of trabectedin across Italy. Secondary endpoints included objective response rate (ORR) and safety. Overall, 512 patients from 20 Italian centers were evaluated. Leiomyosarcoma (37.7%)/liposarcoma (30.3%) were the most prevalent histological types (abbreviated as L-sarcoma). Patients received a median of four trabectedin cycles (range: 1–40), mostly as a second-line treatment (~60% of patients). The ORR was 13.7% superior (p <
Intermittent intensified high-dose intravenous interferon alpha 2b (IFNa2b) for adjuvant treatment of stage III malignant melanoma: Pooled analysis o…

e20028 Background: Adjuvant high-dose interferon (HDI) treatment of patients (pts) with malignant melanoma (MM) consists of 4 weeks intravenous (IV) induction with 20 MU/m² interferon (IFN) alpha 2b followed by 11 months of 10 Mio IU/m² IFN subcutaneously (sc). It is unclear whether both parts of the regimen are mandatory for the efficacy of HDI treatment. The adjuvant phase III trials DeCOG MM-ADJ-5 and the Italian Melanoma Intergroup (IMI) trial evaluated intermittent IV HDI (iHDI) regimens as compared to standard HDI. In both trials, the experimental arm consisted of iHDI for 3 or 4 cycles, respectively. To gain more insight into the role of iHDI in the adjuvant setting we performed a p…
