Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
* Histologically proven, unresectable, locally advanced or metastatic liposarcoma (dedifferentiated, myxoid round cell, or pleomorphic) or leiomyosarcoma. Participants must have a pathology report indicating the diagnosis of liposarcoma or leiomyosarcoma that has been reviewed by the sponsor before randomization may occur
* Treated in any order with at least: an anthracycline and ifosfamide containing regimen, or an anthracycline containing regimen and 1 additional cytotoxic chemotherapy regimen
* Measurable disease at baseline in accordance with RECIST Version 1.1
* Pathology specimens (example [e.g.], tumor blocks or unstained slides) for potential centralized pathology review and biomarker studies

* Unwilling or unable to have a central venous catheter
* Known allergies, hypersensitivity, or intolerance to trabectedin, dacarbazine, dexamethasone, or their excipients
* Pregnant or breast-feeding
* Any condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, would compromise the well-being of the participant or the study or prevent the participant from meeting or performing study requirements

OEP phase:

* Potential participants who meet any of the following criteria will be excluded from Participating in the study: Prior exposure to trabectedin, less than 3 weeks from last dose of systemic cytotoxic therapy, radiation therapy, or therapy with any investigational agent, other malignancy within past 3 years. Exceptions: basal or nonmetastatic squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, cervical carcinoma in situ, or Federation Internationale de Gynecologie et d'Obstetrique (FIGO) Stage 1 carcinoma of the cervix does not apply
* Treated in any order with at least: an anthracycline and ifosfamide containing regimen, or an anthracycline containing regimen and 1 additional cytotoxic chemotherapy regimen with less than 3 weeks from last dose of systemic anticancer therapy, radiation therapy, or therapy with any investigational agent
