Official Title: TRUSTS: A Phase IIB/III Multicenter Study Comparing the Efficacy of TRabectedin Administered as a 3-Hour or 24-Hour Infusion to Doxorubicin in Patients With Advanced or Metastatic Untreated Soft Tissu
Brief Summary:
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as doxorubicin hydrochloride and trabectedin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. It is not yet known whether trabectedin is more effective than doxorubicin hydrochloride in treating patients with advanced or metastatic soft tissue sarcoma.
PURPOSE: This randomized phase II/III trial is studying the safety of trabectedin compared with doxorubicin hydrochloride and to see how well they work in treating patients with advanced or metastatic soft tissue sarcoma.
