Wednesday, February 28, 2024 Outcomes After Preoperative Chemoradiation With or Without Pazopanib in Non-Rhabdomyosarcoma Soft Tissue Sarcoma: A Report From Children's Oncology Group and NRG Oncology.Weiss AR, Chen Y-L, Scharschmidt TJ, Xue W, Gao Z, Black JO, Choy E, Davis JL, Fanburg-Smith JC, Kao SC, Kayton ML, Kessel S, Lim R, Million L, Okuno SH, Ostrenga A, Parisi MT, Pryma DA, Randall RL, Rosen MA, Shulkin BL, Terezakis S, Venkatramani R, Zambrano E, Wang D, Hawkins DS, Spunt SL. Journal of Clinical Oncology 41: 4842-4848. 2023. https://ascopubs.org/doi/abs/10.1200/JCO.23.00045 Clinical trials frequently include multiple end points that mature at different times. The initial report, typically based on the primary end point, may be published when key planned co-primary or secondary analyses are not yet available. Clinical Trial Updates provide an opportunity to disseminate additional results from studies, published in JCO or elsewhere, for which the primary end point has already been reported. Neoadjuvant pazopanib in nonrhabdomyosarcoma soft tissue sarcomas (ARST1321): A report of major wound complications from the Children's Oncology Group and NRG Oncology.Kayton ML, Weiss AR, Xue W, Binitie O, Hayes Dixon A, Randall RL, Sorger JI, Hawkins DS, Spunt SL, Wang D, Million L, Terezakis S, Choy E, Okuno SH, Venkatramani R, Chen Y-L, Scharschmidt TJ. Journal of Surgical Oncology 127: 871-881. 2023. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/jso.27205The impact upon wound healing of targeted molecular therapies, when incorporated into neoadjuvant therapy of soft tissue sarcoma, is largely unknown. The researchers describe wound complications following addition of pazopanib, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), to neoadjuvant radiotherapy (RT) +/− chemotherapy for soft tissue sarcoma. Conclusion: The addition of pazopanib to neoadjuvant chemotherapy and RT resulted in a higher wound complication rate following therapy of soft tissue sarcoma. The rate of grade III complications remained comparable to that reported in contemporary literature.For more information please visit the CCTG SRC6 members trail page.
