Combinations of Chemotherapy and PD-1/PD-L1 Inhibitors in Sarcoma

OPINION STATEMENT

While no PD-1 inhibitor has been FDA approved for use in sarcoma or proven efficacious in a randomized trial, the use of single agent PD-1 inhibitors is standard-of-care and recommended by the NCCN guidelines in certain specific subtypes and situations. Even while the role of immunotherapy is still being defined in sarcoma, there is rising interest in combinations of PD-1 inhibitors with standard-of-care treatments, especially chemotherapy. Recently, several early phase trials have suggested potential benefits for chemotherapy in combination with PD-1 inhibitors. Although some physicians are already combining PD-1 inhibitors and chemotherapy for sarcoma off-label in the community, we believe more data is necessary. We support further evaluation of these combinations in well-designed clinical trials.
