Trial summary

Local recurrence after surgical resection is a complex phenomenon. An important predictive factor is the response to chemotherapy. Central site of disease may be a second independent predictive factor (Lin et al. 2007). Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Post-operative Radiotherapy Randomization in Poor Responders Ewing's Sarcoma Patients

Local recurrence after surgical resection is a complex phenomenon. An important predictive factor is the response to chemotherapy. Central site of disease may be a second independent predictive factor (Lin et al. 2007). Patients with more than 10% viable tumour cells at surgery following neo-adjuvant chemotherapy had a less favourable outcome with an Event-free Survival [EFS] of 47% after 10 years. Patients with good histological response (< 10% viable tumour cells) after chemotherapy alone had a prognosis of about 70% after 10 years.

However, further studies are necessary to determine the merit of adjuvant radiation for high-risk patients (poor responders). Taking into consideration that the toxicity and morbidity of combined surgery and radiation is greater than either alone and must be closely monitored.

No Radiotherapy ArmNo interventionthis arm will not take radiotherapy and their inclusion criteria as following: 1. Age < 18 years old. 2. Non-metastatic Ewing Sarcoma patients who will undergo surgery and show poor histologic response to neo-adjuvant chemotherapy. 3. Negative surgical margins. 4.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. improved Local Relapse-free Survival (LRFS)

    Determine whether the administration of post-operative radiotherapy for poor responder Ewing Sarcoma patients to neo-adjuvant chemotherapy and radical surgery, leads to improved Local Relapse-free Survival (LRFS).

    Measured: five year event free survival

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing External Beam Radiotherapy in people with Ewing's Sarcoma, run by Children's Cancer Hospital Egypt 57357 at 1 site in Egypt.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Jan 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Egypt. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

improved Local Relapse-free Survival (LRFS) (time frame: five year event free survival). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 12 Jan 2016.
