About This Metastatic Dedifferentiated Liposarcoma Study in Miami

This phase I trial tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of combination therapy with liposomal doxorubicin and peposertib in treating patients with sarcoma that has spread from where it first started, to other places in the body (metastatic), or cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable) and for which no known cure is available (advanced). Doxorubicin is in a class of medications called anthracyclines. Doxorubicin damages the cell's deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and may kill cancer cells. It also blocks a certain enzyme needed for cell division and DNA repair. Liposomal doxorubicin is a form of the anticancer drug doxorubicin that is contained inside very tiny, fat-like particles. Liposomal doxorubicin may have fewer side effects and work better than other forms of the drug. Peposertib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. It may also enhance the activity of chemo- and radiotherapy. There is some pre-clinical evidence in animal models that combining peposertib with liposomal doxorubicin can shrink or stabilize certain types of cancer for longer than either drug alone, but it is not known if this will happen in people. Combination therapy with liposomal doxorubicin and peposertib may be effective in treating patients with advanced sarcoma.

Who Can Participate

Inclusion Criteria

Patients must have histologically confirmed sarcoma that is metastatic or unresectable and for which there is no known curative treatment

Patients must have histologic diagnosis of leiomyosarcoma (LMS) or selected soft tissue sarcomas (myxofibrosarcoma \[MFS\], undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma \[UPS\], synovial sarcoma, or dedifferentiated liposarcoma \[DDLPS\]). Pathology review and confirmation of diagnosis will occur at the site enrolling the patient on this study. If the pathology has previously been reviewed by another site participating in the study, the diagnosis does not need to be re-reviewed at the enrolling site

Patients must have evaluable disease that is amenable to biopsy

Patients must have been treated with at least 1 prior line of therapy. Prior anthracycline use is permitted as long as the cumulative dose prior to enrollment does not exceed 360 mg/m\^2

Age \>= 18 years. Because no dosing or adverse event data are currently available on the use of peposertib (M3814) in combination with liposomal doxorubicin in patients \< 18 years of age, children are excluded from this study

Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status =\< 2 (Karnofsky \>= 60%)

Absolute neutrophil count \>= 1,500/mcL

Platelets \>= 100,000/mcL

Total bilirubin =\< 1.5 x institutional upper limit of normal (ULN)

Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase \[SGOT\])/alanine aminotransferase (ALT) (serum glutamate pyruvate transaminase \[SGPT\]) =\< 3 x institutional ULN

Hemoglobin \>= 8 g/dL

Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) \>= 51 mL/min/1.73 m\^2 (per institutional estimate based on creatinine level)

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients on effective anti-retroviral therapy with undetectable viral load within 6 months are eligible for this trial

For patients with evidence of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, the HBV viral load must be undetectable on suppressive therapy, if indicated

Patients with a history of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection must have been treated and cured. For patients with HCV infection who are currently on treatment, they are eligible if they have an undetectable HCV viral load

Patients with treated brain metastases are eligible if follow-up brain imaging after central nervous system (CNS)-directed therapy shows no evidence of progression and clinical symptoms are stable while off steroid support

Patients with a prior or concurrent malignancy whose natural history or treatment does not have the potential to interfere with the safety or efficacy assessment of the investigational regimen are eligible for this trial

Patients with known history of clinically significant cardiac disease, or current symptoms of cardiac disease, or history of treatment with cardiotoxic agents should have a clinical risk assessment of cardiac function using the New York Heart Association Functional Classification. To be eligible for this trial, patients should be class 2B or better

Female patients of childbearing potential must have a negative urine or serum pregnancy test within 72 hours prior to receiving the first dose of study medication. If the urine test is positive or cannot be confirmed as negative, a serum pregnancy test will be required

Female patients of childbearing potential must be willing to use an adequate method of contraception for the course of the study through 3 months after the last dose of peposertib (M3814) and 6 months after the last dose of liposomal doxorubicin

Male patients of reproductive potential must agree to avoid impregnating a partner while receiving study drug and for 3 months after the last dose of peposertib (M3814) and 6 months after the last dose of liposomal doxorubicin by complying with adequate methods of contraception

Note: Abstinence is acceptable if this is the usual lifestyle and preferred contraception for the patient

Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document. Participants with impaired decision-making capacity (IDMC) who have a legally-authorized representative (LAR) and/or family member available will also be eligible

Exclusion Criteria

Patients who have not recovered from adverse events due to prior anti-cancer therapy (i.e., have residual toxicities \> grade 1) with the exception of alopecia

Prior palliative radiotherapy within 14 days of cycle 1 day 1 and prior definitive radiotherapy within 42 days of cycle 1 day 1. Adverse effects of radiation therapy must resolve to baseline prior to cycle 1 day 1

Patients who are receiving any other investigational agents

History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to peposertib (M3814) or other agents used in study

Patients who cannot discontinue concomitant medications or herbal supplements that are strong inhibitors or strong inducers of cytochrome P450 (CYP) isoenzymes CYP3A4/5, CYP2C9, and CYP2C19. Participants who cannot discontinue substrates with a narrow therapeutic index that are metabolized by CYP1A2, CYP2B6, CYP2C8, and CYP3A4/5 are ineligible. Patients may confer with the study doctor to determine if alternative medications can be used. The following categories of medications and herbal supplements must be discontinued for at least the specified period of time before the patient can be treated:

Strong inducers of CYP3A4/5 and CYP2C19: \>= 3 weeks prior to study treatment

Strong inhibitors of CYP3A4/5 and CYP2C19: \>= 1 week prior to study treatment

Substrates of CYP3A4/5 with a narrow therapeutic index: \>= 1 day prior to study treatment

Strong inhibitors of CYP2C9: \>= 1 week prior to study treatment

Patients who cannot discontinue concomitant proton-pump inhibitors (PPIs). Patients may confer with the study doctor to determine if such medications can be discontinued. These must be discontinued \>= 5 days prior to study treatment. Patients do not need to discontinue calcium carbonate

Patients with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) measurement below the institutional lower limit of normal (LLN) are excluded

Patients with uncontrolled intercurrent illness

Patients who cannot swallow tablets whole

Patients with new or progressive brain metastases (active brain metastases) or leptomeningeal disease are not eligible

Pregnant women are excluded from this study because peposertib (M3814) is an adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-competitive inhibitor of DNA-protein kinase catalytic subunit (PKcs) with the potential for teratogenic or abortifacient effects. Because there is an unknown but potential risk for adverse events in nursing infants secondary to treatment of the mother with peposertib (M3814), breastfeeding should be discontinued if the mother is treated with peposertib (M3814). These potential risks may also apply to other agents used in this study

Patients may not have received prior treatment with a DNA-protein kinase (PK) inhibitor
