Summary

This trial is testing the side effects of a combination of two drugs, one of which helps the body's immune system attack cancer cells, before surgery in patients with a type of cancer that can be removed surgically.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with certain types of soft tissue sarcoma that can be surgically removed. Participants must have a specific level of blood cells, not be breastfeeding, agree to use effective contraception methods if applicable, and provide consent. They should not have received live vaccines recently or have any condition that could affect their participation.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing the combination of BO-112 and nivolumab given before surgery compared to nivolumab alone. These are immunotherapies designed to help the immune system fight cancer by stopping tumor growth and spread. The goal is to see if this combo works better in treating soft tissue sarcoma.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include reactions related to the immune system such as inflammation in various organs, fatigue, allergic reactions at infusion sites, changes in blood counts leading to increased infection risk, and possibly other organ-specific issues.

Experimental Treatment
Group I: Treatment (BO-112, nivolumab)Experimental Treatment4 Interventions
Patients receive BO-112 intratumorally on days 8 and 15 or 1, 8, and 15 and nivolumab IV over 30-60 minutes on day 8 in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients also undergo standard of care radiation therapy on days 8-12 for a total of 5 fractions. Patients then undergo standard of care definitive surgical resection on day 26 to 50.
