Drug Development in Soft Tissue Sarcomas: Novel Targets and Recent Early Phase Trial Results

Soft tissue sarcomas are a heterogeneous group of rare malignancies with few effective standard therapies. Our understanding of the underlying biology driving tumorigenesis in these mesenchymal tumors have led to a growth in drug development for soft tissue sarcomas. This review focuses on novel tar...

description Soft tissue sarcomas are a heterogeneous group of rare malignancies with few effective standard therapies. Our understanding of the underlying biology driving tumorigenesis in these mesenchymal tumors have led to a growth in drug development for soft tissue sarcomas. This review focuses on novel targets in soft tissue sarcomas, describes early clinical trial results of drugs directed at these targets, and discusses the data surrounding the use of these compounds in clinical practice and rationale for possible future US Food and Drug Administration approvals.
