Details and patient eligibility

About

The aim is to evaluate the outcome and safety of risk-stratification oriented treatment for pediatric Ewing sarcoma in multicenters .

Full description

Pediatric Ewing sarcoma is stratified into three risk groups(low risk, moderate risk and high risk) accordiong to age, longest diameter of lesion, volume and tumor site. Participants receive chemotherapy with corresponding intensity. The prospective study is to assess efficacy, outcome and safety profile of different treatment received for pediatric Ewing sarcoma.

The prospecitive single-arm study is to be conducted in Chinese multicenters.

Enrollment: 100 estimated patients

Sex: All

Ages: Under 18 years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

• age≤18 years, no gender limitation;
• The ECOG （performance status，PS）is 0～1 score;
• The expected survival time is not less than 12 weeks;
• Heart function: A) Cardiac COLOR ultrasound detection LVEF≥ 50%; B) EKG suggests no myocardial ischemia;C) No history of arrhythmia requiring drug intervention before enrollment;
• Patients who meet the clinical diagnostic criteria and are diagnosed with pediatric Ewing sarcoma;
• Patients who have progressed, relapsed or refractory after first-line treatment (failed to achieve complete or partial response after recent treatment);
• Measurable lesions (according to RECIST 1.1 standards, CT scan length of tumor lesions ≥10mm, CT scan short diameter of lymph node lesions ≥15mm, measurable lesions have not received radiotherapy, freezing and other local treatments);

Arm Description: Participants receive the straified treatment according to assigned risk group

Experimental group

Description:

Patients with Ewing sarcoma are risk stratified according to definition. Patients with low risk receive 8 cycles of chemotherapy comprising low-dose cyclosphomide, adriamycin，vincristine(CAV) alternated with ifosfamide and etoposide(IE). Patients with moderate risk receive a total of 12 cycles of moderate-dose CAV and IE. Patients with high risk receive a total of 17 cycles of high-dose CAV and IE. Thereafter, maitenance therapy is administered to high-risk patients after chemotherapy.

Treatment:

Drug: cyclophosphamide, adriamycin, vincristine，Ifosfamide，etoposide
