Protocol

This section provides details of the study plan, including how the study is designed and what the study is measuring.
Treatment Study
These studies test new ways to treat a disease, condition, or health issue. The goal is to see if a new drug, therapy, or approach works better or has fewer side effects than existing options.

How participants are assigned to different groups/arms
In this clinical study, participants are assigned to groups based on specific criteria, such as their medical history or a doctor's recommendation. This approach ensures that treatments are given to those who may benefit the most, based on known factors.

Other Ways to Assign Participants
Randomized allocation
: Participants are assigned randomly, like flipping a coin, to ensure fairness and reduce bias.

None (Single-arm trial)
: If the study has only one group, all participants receive the same treatment, and no allocation is needed.

How treatments are given to participants
In this study, all participants receive the same treatment. This approach is often used to evaluate the effects of a single intervention without comparing it to another.

Other Ways to Assign Treatments
Parallel assignment
: Participants are split into separate groups, each receiving a different treatment.

Cross-over assignment
: Participants switch between treatments during the study.

Factorial assignment
: Participants receive different combinations of treatments.

Sequential assignment
: Participants receive treatments one after another in a specific order, possibly based on individual responses.

Other assignment
: Treatment assignment does not follow a standard or predefined design.

How the interventions assigned to participants is kept confidential
Everyone involved in the study knows which treatment is being given. This is typically used when it's not possible or necessary to hide the treatment details from participants or researchers.

Other Ways to Mask Information
Single-blind
: Participants do not know which treatment they are receiving, but researchers do.

Double-blind
: Neither participants nor researchers know which treatment is given.

Triple-blind
: Participants, researchers, and outcome assessors do not know which treatment is given.

Quadruple-blind
: Participants, researchers, outcome assessors, and care providers all do not know which treatment is given.

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria: * Histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of soft tissue sarcoma with measurable disease. * Target tumors outside prior radiation field(s). * Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0-2. * Adequate hematologic profile, as determined by hemoglobin, platelet, and neutrophil count. * Adequate renal function * Adequate liver function * No history of hemorrhagic cystitis or evidence of microscopic hematuria * Capable of understanding the protocol requirements and risks and providing written informed consent. * Either 0 or 1 prior chemotherapy regimens Exclusion Criteria: * Subject has a diagnosis of gastrointestinal stromal tumors. * Concurrent serious medical illness unrelated to tumor within the past 6 months. * Known chronic infectious disease, such as AIDS or hepatitis. * Positive screening pregnancy test or is breast-feeding. * A female or male subject of reproductive capacity unwilling to use methods appropriate to prevent pregnancy during the course of this study. * Receiving concurrent chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or surgery, or has received wide field radiation within the previous 4 weeks. * History of another active malignancy (except non-melanoma skin cancer and carcinoma in situ of the cervix), unless in complete remission and off all therapy for that disease for the last 2 years. * Known or clinically suspected brain metastases. * Received more than one prior treatment regimen (excluding adjuvant or neoadjuvant therapy) for soft tissue sarcoma. * Received any investigational drug within the last 30 days. * Not fully recovered from any prior surgery (at least 4 weeks recovery period for major surgery), and from any reversible side effects related to the administration of cytotoxic chemotherapy or radiation therapy. * Received a prior camptothecin analog (e.g., topotecan, irinotecan).
