The results of our large European randomized trial are going to be published now, and they are even more disappointing, because not only did we fail to demonstrate any survival improvement for doxorubicin plus ifosfamide, but also we failed to show any difference in the response rate. Actually this trial, of which I was the study coordinator, suffers from some limitations. First of all the dose of doxorubicin was fifty milligrams per meter square, and it is possible that the fifty-seventy milligrams range is the most critical in the dose response curve for doxorubicin. In addition, large trials cannot select those patient populations that are more likely to benefit from some improvement in the response rate, as probably is achievable with combination regimens. So, in my opinion, these trials have demonstrated that, at full doses, combination regimens may allow higher response rates. Whenever the physician believes that a response rate may be useful to the patient, I think he is allowed to propose a combination regimen to his patient, even if a survival advantage for the average sarcoma patient has not been demonstrated by published studies.
