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
