TLR4 agonist GLA-SE may stimulate the immune system to kill sarcoma cells. Radiation therapy uses high energy x rays to kill tumor cells. Giving TLR4 agonist GLA-SE with radiation therapy may be a better treatment to treat sarcoma that cannot be removed by surgery.

Giving sorafenib tosylate, combination chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and surgery may be an effective treatment for soft tissue sarcoma.
The purpose of this study is to see whether a drug called regorafenib might be effective in treating angiosarcoma. This study is for patients who have angiosarcoma that has gotten worse after they received chemotherapy. Regorafenib is a type of drug called a kinase inhibitor. Regorafenib interferes with how some kinase proteins work. Some of these kinases in cancer cells might normally help the cancer cells grow or form new blood vessels that could feed a growing tumor. By blocking these proteins, regorafenib may help stop the growth of certain cancers.
This study is for patients who have been diagnosed with soft tissue sarcoma that has spread (metastasized) or that is not eligible for removal by surgery. The purpose of this study is to determine how soft tissue sarcomas respond to treatment with an investigational drug called tivozanib. In some lab and clinical studies, tivozanib has been shown to interfere with the growth of some types of tumors. The study will also evaluate how safe the study treatment is by observing how many and what kind of adverse events (side effects) participants experience.
