Soft Tissue sarkomas (STS) are rare tumors, orginated from connective tissue and supporting connective tissue. For patients with progressed STS are different options for palliative treatment. In PazoQol the two options Chemotherapy and Pazopanib should be compared with focus on patient reported outcomes.

Exclusion criteria: Subjects are to be excluded from the study if they display any of the following criteria: • Pretreatment with pazopanib • Contraindications according to the local SmPC of Votrient® (see Appendix 1) Patients having to following STS specific Tumors: o adipocyte sarcoma including all subtypes o all rhabdomyo sarcoma, o Chondro sarcoma o Osteo sarcoma o Ewing-tumors, o Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans o Inflammatory myofibroblastic sarcoma o Malignant mesotheliom o Mixed mesenchymal and epidermal tumors of the uterus. • Other malignant underlying diseases with the exception of the following: o Free of disease for at least three years o Completely resected, non-melanoma skin cancer o Successfully treated carcinoma in situ o Patients with metastases of the central nervous system (CNS) at screening, which are asymptomatic AND do not require treatment with steroids or enzyme-inducing anticonvulsant drugs o Patients with metastases of the CNS, which are already treated (operation and/or radiotherapy, radiosurgery or gamma-knife) • Major surgery or trauma within 28 days before the first dose of study medication and / or presence of a non-healing wound, fracture, or ulcer (procedures like insertion of an ureteral stent are not regarded as major surgery) • Clinical indications of an active bleeding or a bleeding diathesis • Known endobronchial lesions or lesions that infiltrate the large pulmonary artery • Hemoptysis of > 2.5 mL within eight weeks before the first dose of study drug • Existing uncontrolled infection Heart rate-corrected QT-time according to the Fridericia´s-formula (QTcF) = 450 ms in males and = 460 ms in females • History of one or more of the following cardiovascular diseases within the last 6 months: o Cardiac angioplasty or coronary stent o Myocardial infarction o Unstable angina pectoris o Coronary artery bypass surgery o Symptomatic peripheral arterial disease • Cardiac insufficiency NYHA functional class III or IV Poorly controlled hypertension defined as systolic blood pressure = 140 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure = 90 mmHg. (Note: Start or adjustment of antihypertensive medication prior to study entry is allowed. Blood pressure should in this case be be stable for at least 2 weeks and re-evaluated at least twice with a minimum distance of 1 hour. The average of all measurements must be <140/90 to allow inclusion of the patient). • History of cerebrovascular disease, including transient ischemic attacks (TIA), pulmonary embolism or untreated deep vein thrombosis within 6 months prior to study entry. Patients with deep vein thrombosis who have received therapeutic anticoagulation for a minimum of six weeks might be included in the study. • Clinically significant gastrointestinal changes that increase the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding, including (but not exclusively): o Active peptic ulceration o Known intraluminal metastases with a risk of bleeding o Inflammatory bowel disease (e.g. Morbus Crohn, Colitis ulcerosa) or other gastrointestinal disease with increased risk of perforation o A history of existing abdominal fistula, gastrointestinal perforation or intra-abdominal abscess within 28 days prior to study entry • Clinically significant gastrointestinal changes that may affect the absorption of the study drugs, including (but not exclusively): malabsorption or resection of the stomach or small intestine • Treatment with any of the following

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: • Compare the overall quality of life (QoL) under treatment with pazopanib or physician-preferred chemotherapy after 9 weeks;Secondary Objective: Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) Clinical outcomes Predictors of toxicity in patients 60 years and older Safety parameters;Primary end point(s): The primary variable assessed in this study is the overall QoL measured by EORTC QLQ-C30 (sum score) after 9 weeks of treatment.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: after 9 weeks of treatment.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) • Overall QoL and functional dimensions as well as symptoms, measured by EORTC QLQ-C30 in Week 1, 2, 3 compared to Week 7, 8, 9 • Pain measured by BPI-SF (baseline and Week 3, 6, 9) • Fatigue measured by MFI (baseline and Week 3, 6, 9) • Satisfaction with the tumor treatment measured by CTSQ (baseline and Week 9) • Anorexia/cachexia syndrome (ACS) measured by FAACT (baseline and Week 9) • Therapy-associated impairment and burden measured by the adapted MDASI (baseline and Week 3, 6, 9) • Individual subjective benefit assessment of the therapy by the patient using the time trade-off method (baseline and Week 9) Clinical outcomes • Progression free survival (PFS) • Overall survival (OS) • Objective response rate (ORR) • Clinical benefit rate (CBR) • Parameter determined by RECIST 1.1 Predictors of toxicity in patients 60 years and older • Predictors of toxicity according to Hurria et al. • Vulnerable Elderly Scale (VES-13) • Charlson Comorbidity Index Safety parameters Safety laboratory analyses (for details see Table 5), dose reductions and delay, AEs, concomitant medication;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) -Overall QoL and functional dimensions as well as symptoms, measured by week 7, 8, 9 --BPI-SF (baseline and Week 3, 6, 9) -F- MFI (baseline and Week 3, 6, 9) - CTSQ (baseline and Week 9) -FAACT (baseline and Week 9) -Therapy-associated impairment and burden measured by the adapted MDASI (baseline and Week 3, 6, 9) -Individual subjective benefit assessment of the therapy by the patient using the time trade-off method (baseline and Week 9) Clinical outcomes (week 1,3,6,9) Safety parameters and dose reductions and delay, AEs, concomitant medication(week 1,3,6,9 (and during 2 years follow up everny 12 weeks)
