Propranolol and Pembrolizumab in Advanced Soft Tissue Sarcoma Patients

Is NCT05961761 recruiting? Yes, currently enrolling (Jun 2026). This Phase 2 trial studies multiple treatments including Propranolol and Pembrolizumab for soft tissue sarcoma adult.

Phase 2RecruitingNiels JunkerNCT05961761Data as of Jun 2026Location: Denmark · Norway · Sweden

Treatment: Propranolol · PembrolizumabThe goal of this phase 2 clinical trial is to test efficacy and tolerability of combining propranolol and pembrolizumab in patients with advanced angiosarcoma or undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma. The main questions aims to answer: * Primary: determine the progression-free survival rate (PFSR) at 3 months Secondary: determine the objective response rate (ORR), duration of Response (DOR), Progression Free Survival (PFS), Overall Survival (OS). Ensure the safety and tolerability, Determine Quality of Life (QoL) • Exploratory: Characterize the TME Participants will be asked to ensure * Baseline biopsy and further optional biopsies * Treatment propranolol 40 mg BID and pembrolizumab 2 mg/kg Q3 weeks * Evaluation, blood counts, QoL and blood samples for biomarkers according to schedule
