Summary

This phase II trial studies how well therapeutic angiotensin-(1-7) works as second-line therapy or third-line therapy in treating patients with metastatic sarcoma that cannot be removed by surgery. Therapeutic angiotensin-(1-7) may stop the growth of sarcoma by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Funding Source - FDA Office of Orphan Drug Products (OOPD)

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Patients must have a histologically or cytologically confirmed sarcoma that is metastatic or unresectable and have progressed despite 1 or 2 prior treatment regimens with chemotherapy or targeted anti-cancer agents such as imatinib
  • Prior treatment: >= 4 weeks since completion of radiation or chemotherapy, except for >= 6 weeks for Melphalan, nitrosoureas, or mitomycin-C
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status = = 1,500/Microliter (mcL)
  • Platelets >= 100,000/mcL
  • Total bilirubin = 30 mL/min
  • Measurable disease, defined as at least one lesion that can be accurately measured in at least one dimension as > 10 mm
  • Women of child-bearing potential and men must agree to use adequate contraception (hormonal or double-barrier method of birth control; abstinence) prior to study entry and for the duration of study participation; should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while participating in this study, she should inform her treating physician immediately
  • Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document

Exclusion Criteria

  • Patients may not be receiving any other investigational agents for cancer treatment
  • Patients with evidence of bleeding diathesis are ineligible
  • No concurrent treatment with angiotensin-converting-enzyme (ACE) inhibitors or angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs)
  • Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, uncontrolled hypertension or hypotension, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements
  • Pregnant and nursing women are excluded from this study
