About

Despite improvements in outcomes for patients with localized Ewing sarcoma, patients with relapsed metastatic Ewing sarcoma continue to have poor outcomes with current chemotherapy options. A large body of preclinical data supports a role for IGF-1R inhibition in the treatment of Ewing sarcoma.

More recently, clinical trials of IGF-1R monoclonal antibodies have demonstrated single- agent activity in patients with relapsed Ewing sarcoma. Ganitumab (AMG 479) is a fully human monoclonal antibody directed against IGF-1R. We are proposing this single-agent expanded access IND to provide our patient the opportunity to benefit from this treatment after having developed progressive disease after multiple lines of prior therapy.
