What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

A phase 2 study assessing the efficacy of all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) and Cemiplimab in patients with metastatic/locally advanced - unresectable leiomyosarcoma (LMS) who have progressed standard-of-care therapy. Patients will be enrolled in cohorts according to a Bayesian Optimal Phase II design (BOP2). Study treatment will consist of ATRA at a starting dose of 150 mg/m2/day for 3 days orally prior to each cycle of Cemiplimab 350 mg IV q3 weeks for three cycles and then Cemiplimab monotherapy until the progress of disease or unacceptable toxicities develops.

If the urine test is positive or cannot be confirmed as negative, a serum pregnancy test will be required. * Be willing and able to understand and sign the written informed consent document. * Ability to swallow and retain oral medication. * HIV-infected patients on effective anti-retroviral therapy with undetectable viral load within 6 months are eligible for this trial. Testing not indicated for patients without known history of HIV. * For patients with evidence of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, the HBV viral load must be undetectable on suppressive therapy, if indicated. Testing not indicated for patients without known history of HBV. * Patients with a history of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection must have been treated and cured. Testing not indicated for patients without known history of HCV. Exclusion Criteria: * Is currently participating and receiving study therapy or has participated in a study of an investigational agent and received study therapy or used an investigational device within 4 weeks of the first dose of treatment. * Active or history of autoimmune disease or immune deficiency, including, but not limited to, myasthenia gravis, myositis, autoimmune hepatitis, systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, antiphospholipid antibody syndrome, Wegener granulomatosis, Sjögren syndrome, Guillain-Barré syndrome, or multiple sclerosis with the following exceptions: * Patients with a history of autoimmune-related hypothyroidism who are stable on thyroid-replacement hormone are eligible for the study * Patients with controlled Type 1 diabetes mellitus who are on an insulin regimen are eligible for the study. * Patients with eczema, psoriasis, lichen simplex chronicus, or vitiligo with dermatologic manifestations only (e.g., patients with psoriatic arthritis are excluded) are eligible for the study provided all of following conditions are met: * Rash must cover ≤ 10% of body surface area * Disease is well controlled at baseline and requires only low-potency topical corticosteroids * No occurrence of acute exacerbations of the underlying condition requiring psoralen plus ultraviolet A radiation, methotrexate, retinoids, biologic agents, oral calcineurin inhibitors, or high-potency or oral corticosteroids within the previous 12 months * Has a diagnosis of immunodeficiency or is receiving systemic steroid therapy at doses \> 10 mg prednisone or equivalent or other form of immunosuppressive therapy within 14 days prior to the first dose of trial treatment. * Cirrhosis (Child-Pugh B or worse) or cirrhosis with history of hepatic encephalopathy or clinically meaningful ascites resulting from cirrhosis. Clinically meaningful ascites is defined as ascites from cirrhosis requiring increasing dosage of diuretics or paracentesis. * Has symptomatic central nervous system (CNS) metastases and/or carcinomatous meningitis. Patients with asymptomatic CNS lesions will be eligible if considered appropriate by the treating physician. Patients with previously treated brain metastases may participate provided they have had a stable neurological status for at least 2 weeks after completion of definitive therapy. Patients may be on corticosteroids (≤ 10 mg of prednisone-equivalent) to control brain metastases if they have been on a stable dose for 2 weeks (14 days) prior to the start of study treatment and are clinically asymptomatic. This exception does not include carcinomatous meningitis which is excluded regardless of clinical stability. * Pregnancy or breastfeeding or intention of becoming pregnant during study treatment or within 180 days for Cemiplimab after the final dose of study treatment * Women of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test result within 14 days prior to initiation of study treatment. * Highly effective contraception should be used in women of childbearing potential during treatment with Cemiplimab and for at least 6 months following the last dose of Cemiplimab. * Any pa
