Metastatic Ewing's Trial Testing Schedule Enhancement to Improve Outcomes (NCT07194044)
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
This single arm study is designed to demonstrate the feasibility of a radically different approach for an exceptionally high-risk subset of MES with widely metastatic disease (WMES). We incorporate the use of evolutionary principles that apply to species and population dynamics as related to adaptation and extinction to populations of cancer cells that similarly adapt and that we are attempting to make extinct, resulting in a cure for the patient. Such principles include an initial intense first strike to deplete the bulk of the cancer cells, followed by a series of sequential second strikes towards eliminating residual, resistant populations, followed by a prolonged period of maintenance chemotherapy to eliminate any remnant cells, using agents generally regarded to be active against newly diagnosed ES.
Who can join: To join this study, participants generally need to meet the listed inclusion criteria (8 items) and avoid the listed exclusions (9 items).
Location: University of Alabama at Birmingham (Children's of Alabama) — Birmingham, Alabama

🧪 Interventions in This Study
📋 "Do I Qualify?" — 1-Minute Self Screener
Instant ChecklistCheck every box below. If you can check all of them, you may meet the study's basic screening requirements (final eligibility is confirmed by the site team).
Usually NOT eligible if any of the following apply:
- Exclusion Criteria:
- Patients with localized disease or lung only metastases for Ewing sarcoma or localized disease for CIC-rearranged sarcomas.
- Patients with central nervous system (CNS) tumors (primary or metastatic) are not eligible.
- Patients who are receiving any other investigational agents for their cancer.
- Patients with a history of cancer that was treated with myelosuppressive chemotherapy or radiation therapy.
- Patients must not be receiving any additional medicines being given for the specific purpose of treating cancer.
- Patients are ineligible if they have uncontrolled intercurrent illness.
- Pregnancy or Breast Feeding: Pregnant or breast-feeding women will not be entered on this study, because there is no available information regarding human fetal or teratogenic toxicities. Females of childbearing potential must have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test within 72 hours prior to starting protocol therapy.
- Patients who are considered unable to comply with the safety monitoring requirements of the study are not eligible.
