Standard systemic treatment options for patients with advanced sarcoma are limited. Depending on the histological subtype, patients receive differing lines of therapy usually consisting of doxorubicin, ifosfamide and/or trabectedin. After progression on conventional therapies, some patients are offered more experimental options including Phase I clinical trials. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical benefit for sarcoma patients treated within the Phase I Unit of a single referral centre.
