Study Summary

This trial is testing a new cancer treatment in children and young adults with DSRCT that has come back or continued after other treatments.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for children and young adults with relapsed, recurrent, or refractory Desmoplastic Small Round Cell Tumor (DSRCT). Participants must have tried at least one systemic treatment before, not be eligible for surgery, and have adequate organ function. They should not have severe infections, recent significant bleeding events or thrombosis, uncontrolled hypertension, certain heart conditions or a history of severe liver disease.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests the safety and effectiveness of Ramucirumab combined with chemotherapy drugs Cyclophosphamide and Vinorelbine in treating DSRCT. It's part of a larger protocol aiming to speed up new cancer treatments for young patients. The commitment could exceed 12 months based on individual response to treatment.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include reactions related to infusion such as fever or chills; damage to blood cells leading to increased infection risk; hair loss; nausea; fatigue; potential bleeding issues due to Ramucirumab affecting blood vessels; and possible harm to organs like the heart or liver from the medications.
