Study Summary

This trial is testing the side effects and best dose of a chemotherapy drug called eribulin mesylate, when given together with radiation therapy, in treating patients with retroperitoneal liposarcoma.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for patients with a specific cancer called retroperitoneal liposarcoma that can be surgically removed. Eligible participants include those with measurable disease, good performance status, adequate organ function, and no prior treatment for this cancer type. They must also agree to use contraception and have no history of certain heart conditions or other cancers within the last 3 years.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing the combination of eribulin mesylate (a chemotherapy drug) with radiation therapy to see how well they work together in treating retroperitoneal liposarcoma. The study will determine the best dose of eribulin when used alongside high-energy x-rays intended to kill tumor cells.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include reactions typical of chemotherapy such as fatigue, nausea, hair loss, increased risk of infection due to low blood cell counts, neuropathy (nerve pain or tingling), and potential damage at the site where radiation is delivered.

Study Objectives

Outcome measures can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.
Primary outcome measures
Incidence of dose limiting toxicities according to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version (v)4.03
Secondary outcome measures
Change in subject-reported quality of life assessed by Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS)
Objective response rate (ORR) defined as the proportion of subjects who achieved a complete response (disappearance of all target tumors) or a partial response (>= 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameters of target tumors)
Overall survival rate

1Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Treatment (eribulin mesylate, IMRT, surgery)Experimental Treatment6 Interventions
Patients receive eribulin mesylate IV over 2-5 minutes on days 1 and 8 and undergo intensity-modulated radiation therapy QD 5 days a week beginning on day 8 of cycle 1. Treatment repeats every 21 days for up to 3 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients may undergo surgery within 3-10 weeks after radiation therapy.
