Study Summary

This trial will test if a combo of two chemo drugs can prolong progression-free survival in those with metastatic leiomyosarcoma.

Who is the study for?
Adults with metastatic Leiomyosarcoma who haven't had systemic therapy for their metastasis can join. They should have good organ function, no history of certain heart diseases or infections like HIV, and not be on drugs that affect liver enzymes. Women must not be pregnant and participants must use effective contraception.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing if adding Lurbinectedin to Doxorubicin improves the time patients live without their cancer getting worse compared to using Doxorubicin alone. It's a phase IIb/III study where one group gets both drugs and another only gets Doxorubicin.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include reactions at the infusion site, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, hair loss from Doxorubicin; Lurbinectedin may cause similar effects plus blood cell count changes which could increase infection risk.
