treatment

Experimental group

Description:

The patients with metastatic and unresectable soft tissue sarcoma including undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma, synovial sarcoma, de-differentiated liposarcoma and myxoid liposarcoma will be enrolled and given sintilimab (PD-1) , doxorubicin and doxorubicin every three weeks for 6 cycles followed by sintilimab mono therapy till disease progression. The first enrolled six patients is safety run-in step for observing drug-limiting toxicity (DLTs). If the combinatory treatment is intolerable, the doses of chemo regimens will be reduced according to drug instruction.

Treatment:

Drug: Sintilimab

Drug: Ifosfamide

Drug: Doxorubicin Hydrochloride
