Clinical Pearls:
- TH-302 is similar to ifosfamide but is a hypoxia-induced agent
- TH-302 targets the large areas of hypoxia found in sarcomas that chemotherapy cannot reach
- A randomized phase III study of Adriamycin (doxorubicin) versus Adriamycin plus TH-302 is undergoing accrual
- The initial phase II data is promising with good progression-free survival data
