About this trial

The goal of this phase 2 clinical trial is to test efficacy and tolerability of combining propranolol and pembrolizumab in patients with advanced angiosarcoma or undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma. The main questions aims to answer:

* Primary: determine the progression-free survival rate (PFSR) at 3 months

Secondary: determine the objective response rate (ORR), duration of Response (DOR), Progression Free Survival (PFS), Overall Survival (OS). Ensure the safety and tolerability, Determine Quality of Life (QoL)

• Exploratory: Characterize the TME

Participants will be asked to ensure

* Baseline biopsy and further optional biopsies * Treatment propranolol 40 mg BID and pembrolizumab 2 mg/kg Q3 weeks * Evaluation, blood counts, QoL and blood samples for biomarkers according to schedule
