Who can take part
AI summary
From the trial's eligibility criteria. Machine-read from the registry text on this page, so it can be wrong. The registry text below and the trial team decide who can take part.
The trial is looking for people aged over 2 and under 50 with newly diagnosed Ewing sarcoma or Ewing-like sarcoma of bone or soft tissue, either localised or metastatic.
- Age
- Over 2 and under 50 years at the date of the diagnostic biopsy.
- Sex
- All sexes can join.
- Disease stage
- Newly diagnosed Ewing sarcoma or Ewing-like sarcoma of bone and/or soft tissue, confirmed by tissue and molecular tests. It can be localised (SR) or metastatic (HR).
- Earlier treatment
- In the localised (SR) group, people cannot have had more than one cycle of chemotherapy before joining.
- Biomarker or test result
- Ewing-like sarcoma means translocation-positive small blue round cell sarcoma other than Rhabdomyosarcoma.
Main reasons for not taking part
- Another cancer (secondary malignancy)
- Pregnancy or breastfeeding
- Active or uncontrolled heart disease, or serious infection needing drugs by injection or drip
- Taking part in another clinical trial at the same time (some exceptions)
- More than one cycle of chemotherapy before joining the localised (SR) group
The registry criteria, word for word
Show all 22 criteriaShow less
Who can take part
- Histologically (and molecularly) diagnosed primary localised (SR) or metastatic (HR) Ewing sarcoma or so called Ewing-like sarcoma ( i.e. translocation-positive small blue round cell sarcoma other than Rhabdomyosarcoma) of bone and / or soft tissue; pathological diagnosis can be performed at the investigational site
- Any sex, age >2 and < 50 years by the date of diagnostic biopsy
- Informed consent must be obtained according to national and GCP guidelines and signed prior to trial entry. Subjects and when applicable parental or legal representative(s) must understand and voluntarily provide permission to the ICF, prior to conducting any trial-related assessments / procedures. Willingness and ability to comply with scheduled visits and trial procedures are required
- White blood cell (WBC) count > 2000/μl*
- Assessment of cardiac function including LVEF > 40% and SF > 28%*
- Serum creatinine < 1.5 X ULN*
- For patients of childbearing potential, a negative pregnancy test must be documented prior to enrolment and repeated every month during therapy. Female and male patients, who are fertile and sexually active, must agree to use an effective form of contraception from the time of signing the ICF until 6 months after the end of treatment. *Parameters must be checked within the screening phase of 45 days from biopsy biopsy / surgery and after diagnosis of metastatic disease to registration
Who cannot take part
- Treatment of more than one cycle of chemotherapy prior to registration in the SR group
- Additional exclusion criteria iEuroEwing-SR-RT part: Patients with previous RT in the same region
- Concurrent treatment within any other clinical trials, excluding trials with different endpoints, which, due to the nature of their endpoints, must run parallel to iEuroEwing trial, e.g. studies on antiemetics, antimycotics, antibiotics, strategies for psychosocial support, etc
- Clinically significant and uncontrolled, or active cardiac disease
- Evidence of invasive fungal infection or other severe systemic infection requiring systemic / parenteral therapy
- Hypersensitivity to the active substance or other excipients contained in the investigational medical products listed in the summary of product characteristics (SmPC) or investigators brochure (IB)
- Secondary malignancy
- Any other medical, psychiatric, or social condition which is incompatible with the protocol treatment
- Contraindications according to the respective applicable SmPCs
- Additional exclusion criteria iEuroEwing-SR-RT part: Primary diagnosed and histologically confirmed metastatic (HR)
- Additional exclusion criteria iEuroEwing-SR-RT part: Patients who receive preoperative RTX
- Additional exclusion criteria iEuroEwing-SR-RT part: Patients who receive Brachytherapy
- Additional exclusion criteria iEuroEwing-SR-RT part: Patients who have been diagnosed with pleural effusion
- Pregnancy or lactation
- Female and male subjects with child-bearing potential, who avoid using highly effective contraceptive methods
Check if you might fit
Answer for yourself. This is not a decision: only the study team can say whether you can take part.
- What type of cancer has the patient been diagnosed with?
- Is this cancer newly diagnosed, or has it come back or not responded to treatment?
- Is the patient pregnant or breastfeeding?

About the trial
What the trial wants to find out
Event-free survival (EFS): iEuroEwing-SR part: The main goal is to conduct a randomised trial part. This will examine, whether the addition of a maintenance treatment using VinoCyc to nine cycles of VDC/IE improves EFS in patients with primary disease, aiming at a 10% increase of a 3-year EFS compared to the standard VDC/IE treatment.

iEuroEwing-SR part RT: The main goal is to show in a randomised setting, that a higher RT dose is not inferior regarding an acute skin toxicity CTCAE grade≥3 under RT. The non-inferiority margin for the risk difference is 8% between the combined lower dose and combined higher dose RT arms
iEuroEwing-HR part: The main goal is to conduct a randomised trial part. This will examine, whether the addition of a maintenance treatment using VinoCyc to nine cycles of VDC/IE improves EFS in patients with primary disseminated disease, aiming at a 17% increase of 2-year EFS compared to the standard VDC/IE treatment.
