Incorporating the patient voice in sarcoma research: Quality of Life in Sarcomas

How can we assess quality of life of sarcoma patients?

Soft tissue and bone sarcoma patients form a diverse and rare patient group. Quality of life questionnaires used in research and clinical practice are not always complete and relevant for the unique experiences of this patient group.

Take part in a quality of life study for sarcomas – make your voice heard!

This international sarcoma survey study is funded by the Quality of Life Group (QLG) of European Organization of Cancer and Treatment (EORTC) in collaboration with the EORTC Soft Tissue and Bone Sarcoma Group (STBSG). We want to investigate the best measurement strategy for quality of life in sarcoma patients.

Clinical trials & study registry

Clinical trials: Important part of disease management

Clinical studies are an essential step in the development of novel treatment methods for cancer and other diseases. Especially for rare cancers such as sarcomas, clinical studies are an important component of treatment concepts because here the standard forms of therapy are often limited. 

In our study registry, we list currently ongoing studies in sarcomas or different subtypes of sarcomas that are conducted internationally.
Check out our study registry here.

Excerpt of our study registry:
  • ChonDRAgon assesses INBRX-109 in unresectable or metastatic conventional chondrosarcomas
  • PEAK compares CGT9486+Sunitinib vs. Sunitinib in advanced GIST in second line treatment
  • IDRX-42 in advanced GIST after at least 1 prior therapy
  • Ringside assesses the efficacy and safety of AL 102 in desmoid tumors
  • Motion evaluates the effectiveness of vimseltinib in tenosynovial giant cell tumor (TGCT)
  • SunriseLMS compares unesbulin plus dacarbazine versus placebo plus dacarbazine in advanced leiomyosarcoma after 1 prior line of systemic therapy
  • STRASS2: Surgery With Our Without Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy in High Risk Retroperitoneal Sarcoma
If there are further trials to be listed in our registry, please reach out to us on info@sarcoma-patients.org
