Abbreviation: ECOG PS, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status.

a

Race/ethnicity were self-reported by participants through fixed categories on study case report form.

b

Other race categories were American Indian or Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian or other Pacific Islander, multiple, and not reported.

c

The ECOG PS 5-point scale defines 0 as fully active, able to carry on all predisease performance without restriction, and defines 1 as restricted in physically strenuous activity but ambulatory and able to carry out work of a light or sedentary nature.

d

One patient had lymphoma, which is not a subtype of soft tissue sarcoma, and therefore enrollment of this patient was a protocol violation.

e

Prior systemic therapies were not mutually exclusive.
