A Study of Pembrolizumab for Ultra-Rare Sarcomas
This study is testing pembrolizumab, a type of immunotherapy, in people with certain ultra-rare sarcomas. Pembrolizumab works by blocking a protein called PD-1, which helps release the "brakes" on your immune system so it can better fight cancer cells. The main goal is to see how many participants respond to the treatment after 12 weeks and if it causes few or mild side effects. Researchers will also study how your immune system reacts to the treatment. You may be able to join if you are an adult with a confirmed diagnosis of pleomorphic liposarcoma, PEComa, epithelioid sarcoma, CIC-rearranged sarcoma, or SEF/LGFMS. The study plans to enroll 32 participants.
