QL1706 in the Treatment of Advanced Bone and Soft Tissue Sarcoma

Efficacy and Safety of QL1706 in the Treatment of Advanced Bone and Soft Tissue Sarcoma: a Phase II Clinical Study

QL1706 in the Treatment of Advanced Bone and Soft Tissue Sarcoma (NCT06939855) is a Phase 2 interventional studying Bone and Soft Tissue Tumors, sponsored by Sun Yat-sen University. RECRUITING as of the most recent ClinicalTrials.gov update. Talk to your doctor before contacting the trial site.

About This Trial

This is a single-center, open-label phase II study of QL1706 for the treatment of advanced bone and soft tissue sarcomas.The study includes screening period, treatment period and follow-up period. Subjects will receive QL1706 5mg/kg iv every 3 weeks until disease progression or intolerance. Efficacy should be evaluated and safety will be monitored throughout the study.

What Stage of Research Is This?

Phase 2 trials evaluate whether a treatment actually works against Bone and Soft Tissue Tumors and continue monitoring side effects. Phase 2 enrolls larger groups (typically 100–300 patients) and produces the first real efficacy signal. A successful Phase 2 readout is what unlocks the much larger Phase 3 confirmatory trials needed for FDA approval.

This trial is currently recruiting participants. The sponsor has registered the study with ClinicalTrials.gov as actively enrolling, which means new applicants who meet the eligibility criteria can be considered for screening. Trial status can change between updates — confirm current recruiting status with the study contact before traveling for a screening visit.

With a target enrollment of 45 participants, this is a small study — typical of early-phase research, rare-disease trials, or pilot studies designed to generate preliminary signal before a larger study is launched.

Who May Be Eligible (Plain English)

Who May Qualify: 1. Subjects voluntarily participate in the study, sign the willing to sign a consent form form (ICF), and are able to comply with study procedures. 2. Age ≥18 years and ≤75 years at the time of signing ICF, regardless of gender. 3. diagnosed by tissue sample (biopsy-confirmed) unresectable locally advanced or metastatic bone and soft tissue sarcoma at this institution, including: undifferentiated sarcoma, leiomyosarcoma, myxofibrosarcoma, alveolar soft part sarcoma, pleomorphic undifferentiated sarcoma, chordoma, angiosarcoma, and dedifferentiated liposarcoma. 4. For histological subtypes without standard systemic therapy, such as chordoma, previous cancer treatment that works throughout the body (like chemotherapy) is not required. Subjects with alveolar soft part sarcoma may be systemic therapy-naïve or have received systemic therapy excluding PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors. 5. For histological subtypes with standard systemic therapy, such as undifferentiated sarcoma, leiomyosarcoma, myxofibrosarcoma, dedifferentiated liposarcoma, and pleomorphic undifferentiated sarcoma, subjects must have received anthracycline-based chemotherapy. Subjects with angiosarcoma must have received paclitaxel- or anthracycline-based chemotherapy, and have developed metastasis or disease progression (≥10% increase in the sum of the longest diameters within 3 months), or be intolerant to standard therapy. 6. At least one measurable lesion as assessed by the investigator according to RECIST v1.1. 7. Subjects are able to provide tumor tissue samples and blood samples for biomarker testing including PD-L1. 8. You should be able to carry out daily activities with 0 level of ability (ECOG 0)-1, with an expected survival ≥12 weeks. 9.

Is participating in a clinical trial safe?

Clinical trials in the United States are regulated by the FDA and overseen by Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) that review the protocol for safety. Risk varies by trial — Phase 1 studies test new treatments in humans for the first time, while Phase 3 trials use treatments that have already passed earlier safety screening. The informed consent document for any specific trial details the known risks and what to expect. Discuss those risks with your physician before deciding whether to participate.
