What Are the Treatments Tested in This Trial?

Interventions

• Irinotecan
• Trabectedin

Trial Overview The study tests trabectedin combined with irinotecan for treating Ewing sarcoma.

The first phase has been completed; the second phase is now recruiting participants to further evaluate safety and efficacy.

How Is the Trial Designed?

Group I: Trabectedin and Irinotecan Experimental Treatment 4 Interventions

Trabectedin will be delivered by infusion on day 1 followed by 2 doses on irinotecan delivered by infusion for one hour on day 2 and day 4 of 21 day cycles. Some patients will receive an 18F-FLT Imaging scan prior to the first administration of trabectedin and once after administration of trabectedin.
