Brief Summary
This early phase I trial studies the side effects of implanting and removing a microdevice in patients with sarcomas that have spread to other places in the body (metastatic) or have come back (recurrent). Microdevices are rice-sized devices that are implanted into tumor tissue and are loaded with 10 different drugs that are delivered at very small doses, or "microdoses," which may only affect a very small, local area inside the tumor. The purpose of this study is to determine which drugs delivered in the microdevice affect tumor tissue in patients with sarcomas.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (2)
Determination of the safety and technical feasibility of microdevice insertion/removal, as assessed by adverse events by CTCAE 5.0.
Assess the safety of microdevice placement and removal in subjects undergoing resection of sarcoma.
Up to 1 year
To assess efficacy across all individual agents or drug combinations tested using the microdevice technology.
The primary outcome measure is the number of participants that experience a grade 3 or 4 adverse event, as defined by CTCAE 5.0. A second primary outcome measure of device technical feasibility measures the number of devices that successfully generate high-quality data from each of at least 50% of the patients enrolled. A successful device is one that generated high-quality data from at least 40% of the drugs in the device by IHC and/or other methodologies
Up to 1 year
Secondary Outcomes (1)
Determine the drug antineoplastic drug effects observed in the adjacent tumor tissues following exposure to drug micro-doses released by each microdevice reservoir.
Up to 1 year
Study Arms (1)
Device Feasibility (microdevice, surgery)
EXPERIMENTALPatients undergo percutaneous implantation of up to 3 drug delivery microdevices up to 2 days before standard of care surgery. Patients receive doxorubicin hydrochloride, ifosfamide, vincristine, irinotecan, temozolomide, pazopanib, everolimus, polyethylene glycol, ganitumab, and temsirolimus via the microdevice in the absence of unacceptable toxicity. At the time of surgery 2 days later, patients have the drug delivery microdevice(s) removed.
