  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Age: Patients must be >1 year old at the time of study consent.

About this study

Official title: Single Arm Evaluation of Romiplostim to Prevent Chemotherapy Induced Thrombocytopenia in Patients With Ewing Sarcoma

The goal of this clinical trial is to to assess the efficacy of romiplostim as a supportive care measure in patients with a new diagnosis of Ewing sarcoma receiving interval-compressed chemotherapy. The main questions it aims to answer are:

  1. To demonstrate the efficacy of romiplostim in patients with newly diagnosed Ewing sarcoma, measured specifically as the rate of CIT, defined as a failure to achieve platelet recovery (≥ 75,000/µL post nadir, without transfusion, or a platelet count sufficient to resume chemotherapy per provider and institutional standard) within 7 days of planned chemotherapy cycle start, measured during the continuation phase (cycle 7 to end of cycle 13 or 16, per AEWS0031/AEWS1221, or AEWS1031 respectively) of interval-compressed chemotherapy (every 2 week vincristine/cyclophosphamide +/- doxorubicin and ifosfamide/etoposide chemotherapy) as compared to published institutional historical control rate.
  2. To determine the safety of incorporation of romiplostim supportive care when given concurrently with Ewing sarcoma therapy.
  3. To determine the feasibility of incorporation of romiplostim supportive care into upfront Ewing sarcoma regimens.
Read the detailed description

This is a single-arm, multi-center clinical trial to assess the efficacy of romiplostim as a supportive care measure in patients with a new diagnosis of Ewing sarcoma receiving interval-compressed chemotherapy. Patients will be enrolled and started on romiplostim as early as cycle 1 day 1 of their chemotherapy, but no later than 2 weeks from the start of the 5th cycle. If their platelet count is < 200,000/mm3, patients will start romiplostim based on their weight. Dose escalation of romiplostim may occur weekly if platelet count is < 200,000/mm3. Once maximum dose of romiplostim is reached, this dose level will be maintained every 7 days (+/- 2 days).

Being tested

What participants receive

  • Romiplostim (AMG-531)Drug

    Also called NPLATE

    Romiplostim may be started as supportive care, as early as cycle 1 day 1; all patients MUST initiate romiplostim no later than 2 weeks from the start of the 5th cycle of chemotherapy (see exception below for patients with platelet count of 200,000 or greater). If plt count < 200,000/mm3, patients will start romiplostim based on their weight

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of evaluable participants (11 or fewer of 26) that develop CIT during the continuation phase of compressed-interval chemotherapy compared to institutional historical control rate.

    CIT is defined as failure to achieve platelet recovery ((≥ 75,000/µL post nadir, without transfusion, or a platelet count sufficient to resume chemotherapy per provider and institutional standard) within 7 days of planned chemotherapy cycle start, measured during the continuation phase (beyond cycle 6)

    Measured: 52 weeks

  2. Measure adverse events with the addition of romiplostim when given with chemotherapy.

    To determine the safety of incorporation of romiplostim supportive care when given concurrently with Ewing sarcoma therapy.

    Measured: 52 weeks

  3. Number of patients able to receive the majority of planned romiplostim doses.

    Feasibility will be met if fewer than 9 of 26 enrolled patients fail to receive at least 60% of planned romiplostim doses (excluding doses held for thrombocytosis or post-operatively) from initiation through at least the end of the 13th cycle of chemotherapy or through at least the end of the 16th cycle of chemotherapy.

    Measured: 52 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Early Phase 1 study testing Romiplostim (AMG-531) in people with Ewings Sarcoma and Chemotherapy Induced Thrombocytopenia, run by Children's Hospital Medical Center, Cincinnati at 2 sites in United States.

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 3 inclusion and 11 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Mar 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in United States. 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?

Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.

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

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Brian Turpin, DO (513-636-2799, cancer@cchmc.org), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of evaluable participants (11 or fewer of 26) that develop CIT during the continuation phase of compressed-interval chemotherapy compared to institutional historical control rate. (time frame: 52 weeks). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT07048249, which also lists 28 linked publications.

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 18 Mar 2026.
