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
