About

The current study is an investigator-initiated, single-arm phase 2 study that enrolled patients with recurrent and/or metastatic Ewing sarcoma for the treatment of Irinotecan Liposome (II) Combined with Temozolomide and Fluzoparib as the second-line treatment.

Full description

This study is a single-center, single-arm, phase II study evaluating the efficacy and safety of irinotecan liposome (II) combined with temozolomide and fluzoparib in the treatment of recurrent or metastatic ewing sarcoma which progressed on 1st line chemotherapy. Eligible patients will be included in this study and treated according to the protocol. Study treatment will be continued until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or patient's decision/consent withdrawal. Local investigators will determine disease progression, radiologic or clinical deterioration. A Simon Two-Stage design will enroll approximately 13 patients into Stage 1, and if criteria are met to move to Stage 2, an additional 16 patients will be enrolled.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

I. To assess the antineoplastic efficacy of irinotecan liposome (II) combined with temozolomide and fluzoparib in the treatment of recurrent or metastatic Ewing sarcoma, as measured by the objective response rate (ORR).

SECONDARY EFFICACY OBJECTIVES:

I. To determine the disease control rate (DCR) for irinotecan liposome (II) combined with temozolomide and fluzoparib in the treatment of recurrent or metastatic Ewing sarcoma.

II. To calculate the duration of response (DOR) for irinotecan liposome (II) combined with temozolomide and fluzoparib in the treatment of recurrent or metastatic Ewing sarcoma.

III. To measure median progression-free survival (PFS) in recurrent or metastatic Ewing sarcoma patients who have received irinotecan liposome (II) combined with temozolomide and fluzoparib.

VI. To measure median overall survival (OS) in recurrent or metastatic Ewing sarcoma patients who have received irinotecan liposome (II) combined with temozolomide and fluzoparib.

SECONDARY SAFETY OBJECTIVE:

I. To assess the toxicity profile of irinotecan liposome (II) combined with temozolomide and fluzoparib in the treatment of recurrent or metastatic Ewing sarcoma according to National Cancer Institute (NCI)-Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version (v)5.0.

Exploratory OBJECTIVE:

I. To explore the relationship between mutations and expression of DNA Homologous Recombination Repair (HRR) related genes (such as BRCA1/2, PALB2, etc.) and clinical efficacy (such as ORR, DoR, etc.), as well as resistance mechanisms.

Inclusion and exclusion criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

-1. Patients aged 18 to 75 years (calculated as of the date of signing the informed consent), regardless of gender.

Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 to 2. 3. Histologically confirmed advanced or metastatic Ewing sarcoma, with at least one measurable lesion that has not been treated locally (according to RECIST v1.1, this measurable lesion must have a maximum diameter of ≥ 10 mm on spiral CT scans or a short diameter of ≥ 15 mm for enlarged lymph nodes).
The primary tumor or locally recurrent tumor cannot be completely resected through surgery or other local treatments (e.g., stereotactic radiosurgery, argon-helium knife, ultrasound-guided focused ultrasound, etc.); first-line chemotherapy (VAC/IE) has failed, leading to distant metastasis, and the metastatic tumors cannot be completely resected through surgery or other local treatments; or the patient refuses surgery or other local treatments.
Expected survival of ≥ 12 weeks. 6. Basic normal function of major organs, with severe abnormalities in blood, heart, lung, liver, kidney, bone marrow functions, or immune deficiency diseases meeting protocol requirements:
Complete Blood Count (CBC): (No blood transfusion, use of Granulocyte-Colony Stimulating Factor [G-CSF], or corrective therapy within 14 days prior to screening)
- Hemoglobin ≥ 90 g/L;
- Neutrophil count ≥ 1.5 × 10^9/L;
- Platelet count ≥ 75 × 10^9/L;
Biochemical Tests: (No albumin infusion within 14 days)
- Albumin ≥ 29 g/L;
- Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤ 2.5 times the upper limit of normal (ULN);
- Total bilirubin (TBIL) ≤ 1.5 times ULN;
- Creatinine (Cr) ≤ 1.5 times ULN or Cr clearance > 50 mL/min (Cockcroft-Gault formula):
- Male: Cr clearance = ((140 - age) × weight) / (72 × blood Cr)
- Female: Cr clearance = ((140 - age) × weight) / (72 × blood Cr) × 0.85
- Weight in kg; blood Cr in mg/mL;
- Urinary protein < 2+ (if urinary protein ≥ 2+, a 24-hour urine protein quantification can be performed, with < 1.0 g in 24 hours allowing for inclusion);
Coagulation Function: Activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) and International Normalized Ratio (INR) ≤ 1.5 × ULN (patients on stable doses of anticoagulants like low molecular weight heparin or warfarin, with INR within the expected therapeutic range, can be screened);
Thyroid Function: Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH) ≤ ULN; if abnormal, T3 and T4 levels should be evaluated, with normal levels allowing for inclusion;
Echocardiogram: Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥ 60%. 7. Non-surgically sterile or premenopausal female patients must use a medically approved contraceptive method (such as an intrauterine device, contraceptive pills, or condoms) during the study treatment period and for 6 months after the end of study treatment; non-surgically sterile premenopausal females must have a negative serum or urine HCG test within 7 days prior to study enrollment and must not be breastfeeding; male patients with female partners of childbearing potential should use effective contraception during the study and for 6 months after the last dose of fluzoparib, liposomal irinotecan, or temozolomide.
