About this trial
To learn if zanzalintinib and pembrolizumab can help to control select subtypes of advanced/metastatic soft-tissue sarcoma (UPS, MFS, HGPS, and HGUS
Eligibility criteria
Qualifiers
Participants must have histologically or cytologically confirmed undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma (UPS), myxofibrosarcoma (MFS), high grade pleomorphic (HGPS) or undifferentiated sarcoma (HGUS).
Participant ≥ 18 years of age. Because no dosing or adverse event data are currently available on the use of zanzalintinib in combination with pembrolizumab in participants <18 years of age, children are excluded from this study.
ECOG performance status ≤2 (Karnofsky ≥60%).
Participants must have measurable disease, defined as at least one lesion that can be accurately measured in at least one dimension (longest diameter to be recorded for non-nodal lesions and short axis for nodal lesions) as ≥20 mm (≥2 cm) by chest x-ray or as ≥10 mm (≥1 cm) with CT scan, MRI, or calipers by clinical exam.
Disqualifiers
Prior treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs)
Prior treatment with zanzalintinib
Receipt of any type of small molecule kinase inhibitor (including investigational kinase inhibitor) within 2 weeks before first dose of study treatment.
Participants who have not recovered from adverse events due to prior anti-cancer therapy (i.e., have residual toxicities > Grade 1) with the exception of alopecia.
