INTER-EWING-1: International Clinical Research Programme to Improve Outcomes in Newly Diagnosed Ewing Sarcoma – Trial 1
EU CTIS ID: 2024-511989-36-00
What this study is testing
The primary objectives for this trial are related to each of the trial questions. For the chemotherapy questions, the objectives are to determine: Whether outcome in newly diagnosed metastatic ES patients can be improved with the addition of regorafenib to the standard backbone chemotherapy VDC/IE when compared with VDC/IE alone (Randomisation A) Whether the addition of 6 cycles of maintenance chemotherapy of vinorelbine and cyclophosphamide improves the outcome for patients. (Randomisation C) For the radiotherapy questions, the objectives are to determine: Whether dose escalation of radiotherapy improves the outcome in patients with inoperable disease (Randomisation B1) Which of the two post-operative radiotherapy doses following surgical resection of the primary tumour site will result in achieving optimal outcome (Randomisation B2)
