The EORTC Soft Tissue and Bone Sarcoma Group conducted a phase II study with oral miltefosine at a dose of 50 mg thrice daily in patients with metastatic soft tissue sarcomas. No responses were seen in 18 evaluable patients. Toxicity consisted mainly of nausea/vomiting. It is concluded that oral miltefosine has no activity in soft tissue sarcoma.
