Study Summary

MULTISARC is a randomized multicenter study assessing whether high throughput molecular analysis (next generation sequencing exome - NGS) is feasible in advanced/metastatic soft-tissue sarcoma patients, that is, whether NGS can be conducted for a large proportion of patients, with results available within reasonnable delays.

In parallel, MULTISARC aims to assess efficacy of an innovative treatment strategy guided by high throughput molecular analysis (next generation sequencing exome, RNASeq [NGS]) in patients with Advanced/metastatic soft-tissue sarcomas. At the end of first-line treatment, participant's tumor profile of experimental Arm NGS (treatment strategy based on NGS results) will be discussed within a multidisciplinary tumor board which aims at discussing the genomic profiles and at providing a therapeutic decision for each participant. Participants for whom a targetable genomic alteration has been identified will be proposed to enter in one of the subsequent phase II single-arm sub-trial.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Randomized phase

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Age ≥ 18 years,

  • Histology: soft-tissue sarcoma confirmed by the RRePS Network, as recommended by theFrench NCI

  • Unresectable locally advanced and/or metastatic STS

Note that patients with in situ carcinoma of the cervix, oradequately treated basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, or adequatelytreated localized prostate cancer, or other localized cancer under maintenancetherapy can be included as long as they don't limit assessment of efficacy offirst-line systemic therapy,

  • Participant with a social security in compliance with the French law,

Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Radiological evidence of symptomatic or progressive brain metastases,

  • Individuals deprived of liberty or placed under guardianship

  • Pregnant or breast feeding women,

  • Men or women refusing contraception,

  • Previous enrolment in the present study,

  • Any contraindication to first-line chemotherapy treatment.

Phase II Sub-trials

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Participants already enrolled in MULTISARC and randomized/switched in Arm "NGS",

  • ECOG performance status < 1,

  • Measurable disease according to RECIST v1.1,

  • Molecular alteration identified by molecular profiling,

  • Participants who have received a first-line systemic treatment at the inclusion,

  • Participants must have advanced disease and must not be a candidate for otherapproved therapeutic regimen known to provide significant clinical benefit based oninvestigator judgement,

  • Participants will have had a minimum of 21 days gap from last chemotherapy orimmunotherapy or any other pharmacological therapy and/or radiotherapy prior to thefirst dose of study treatment,

  • Women of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test within 3days of enrolment and serum/urine pregnancy test within 24 hours prior to theadministration of the study drug,

  • Female with child bearing potential and male participants with partners of childbearing potential must be willing to use two effectives forms of contraception (1highly effective method and 1 barrier method), from beginning 3 weeks before thefirst dose of investigational product and until 3 months after discontinuing thestudy.

  • Participant with a social security in compliance with the French law,

  • Voluntary signed and dated written informed consent (ICF2) prior to any studyspecific procedure.

Main exclusion Criteria:

  • Previous treatment with the targeted therapy,

  • No "targetable" genomic alteration generated during the screening phase either dueto the lack of alteration or due to ineligible samples for genomic analysis (MULTISARC),

  • Participants with total gastrectomy,

  • Major surgery within 30 days prior to entry into the study (excluding placement ofvascular access) or minor surgery within 14 days of entry into the study,

  • History of hypersensitivity to involved study drug(s) or of its excipients,

  • Radiological evidence of symptomatic or progressive brain metastases,

  • Participant with oral anticoagulation therapy,

  • Inability to swallow,

  • Major problem with intestinal absorption,

  • Any unresolved toxicity NCI CTCAE Grade ≥2 from previous anticancer therapy with theexception of alopecia, vitiligo, and the laboratory values defined in the inclusioncriteria. Participants with Grade ≥2 neuropathy will be evaluated on a case-by-casebasis after consultation with the Sponsor.

  • Previous allogeneic bone marrow transplant,

  • Altered hematopoietic or organ function,

  • Mean resting corrected QT interval (QTcF)>470msec obtained from 3 consecutive ECGs

  • Previous or current maligancies of other histologies within the last 2 years, withthe exception of in situ carcinoma of the cervix, and adequately treated basal cellor squamous cell carcinoma of the skin and prostate cancer,

  • Evidence of severe or uncontrolled systemic disease (uncontrolled hypertension,active bleeding diatheses), active uncontrolled systemic bacterial, viral, or fungalinfection > Grade 2 as per NCI CTCAE v5.0

  • Chronic or active hepatitis B or hepatitis C. Testing for hepatitis B surfaceantigen (HBs Ag) and hepatitis B core antibody (anti HBc) will be performed atscreening,

  • Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) positive,

  • Any condition which in the Investigator's opinion makes it undesirable for thesubject to participate in the trial or which would jeopardize compliance with theprotocol,

  • Individuals deprived of liberty or placed under guardianship,

  • Pregnant or breast feeding women.

Study Design

Total Participants: 603
Treatment Group(s): 11
Primary Treatment: Lapatinib
Phase: 3
Study Start date:

Estimated Completion Date:
October 31, 2025

Study Description

Screening phase: frozen tumor sample (archived or newly obtained) and blood sample will be used for genetic profiling. Patients can be considered as pre-eligible for the randomized phase when all genetic material have been received by the Platform.

Randomization phase: the randomization will allocate the following arms with a ratio 1:1:

  • experimental Arm NGS : treatment strategy based on NGS results [exome, RNASeq]

  • standard Arm No NGS: treatment strategy not based on NGS (Note that for these participants and under specific conditions, subsequent NGS analyses may be allowed within the scope of the trial)

Single-arm phase II sub-trial: at the end of the first-line treatment and regardless of tumor response as per RECIST v1.1, patients randomized in Arm NGS and for whom a targetable alteration has been identified by the Molecular Tumor Board will be considered as pre-eligible for the targeted sub-study. The mandatory post-chemotherapy wash-out period of 21 days will provide time to achieve all the required tests and examinations.
