Anlotinib for Alveolar Soft Part Sarcoma
(APROMISS Trial)
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial tests the safety and effectiveness of a new drug, anlotinib, for treating metastatic or advanced alveolar soft part sarcoma (ASPS). Participants will receive anlotinib to determine its effectiveness in managing this specific cancer type. Ideal candidates for this trial have ASPS that cannot be surgically removed and may have already tried other treatments. As a Phase 3 trial, this study represents the final step before potential FDA approval, offering participants a chance to contribute to the development of a promising treatment.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial protocol does not specify if you need to stop taking your current medications. However, you cannot take certain medications that strongly affect liver enzymes or those that prolong the QT interval (a heart rhythm measure) within 14 days before starting the trial.
Is there any evidence suggesting that this trial's treatments are likely to be safe?
In previous studies, anlotinib has shown promise for treating advanced cancers like alveolar soft part sarcoma. Patients have generally tolerated it well, experiencing fewer negative side effects compared to some other cancer drugs.
Past research shows that dacarbazine has been used safely for various cancers, though it can cause side effects like nausea or low blood counts. As an older drug, there is extensive information about patient reactions.
Both treatments carry some risks, but studies suggest they are relatively safe when healthcare professionals monitor them. Always consult a doctor about potential side effects and what to expect during a trial.12345Why are researchers excited about this trial's treatments?
Researchers are excited about Anlotinib for treating alveolar soft part sarcoma (ASPS) because it works differently from traditional chemotherapy options like dacarbazine. Unlike conventional treatments that attack rapidly dividing cells, Anlotinib is a targeted therapy that inhibits specific proteins involved in tumor blood vessel formation, potentially slowing down cancer growth more precisely. This targeted approach might offer a more effective and less toxic alternative for patients with ASPS, making it a promising option in the fight against this rare cancer.
What evidence suggests that anlotinib might be an effective treatment for alveolar soft part sarcoma?
Studies have shown that anlotinib looks promising for treating alveolar soft part sarcoma (ASPS). Research indicates that anlotinib, a type of targeted therapy, is well tolerated and effective for ASPS. Patients have experienced better response rates and longer periods without disease progression when using anlotinib. In this trial, participants with ASPS will receive anlotinib. In contrast, dacarbazine has been used for various soft tissue sarcomas for a long time, but it is generally less effective and can cause more side effects, such as nausea and low white blood cell counts. Overall, anlotinib has shown more potential in treating ASPS compared to dacarbazine.12467

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
Adults with advanced alveolar soft part sarcoma (ASPS) can join this trial. They may or may not have had previous treatments but must show disease progression. Key requirements include good organ function, no severe diseases, controlled blood pressure, and agreement to use contraception. Those with certain prior treatments or conditions like active brain metastases or recent major surgeries cannot participate.Inclusion Criteria
