Study Summary

This trial is testing whether adding abemaciclib to chemotherapy helps treat Ewing's sarcoma that has come back or did not respond to treatment. Participation could last 11 months or longer.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals with Ewing's Sarcoma that has returned or didn't respond to treatment. They must have a measurable tumor, weigh at least 10 kg, and have adequate organ function. Participants need to be off previous cancer treatments for at least 7 days and recovered from their effects. Pregnant or breastfeeding women can't join, nor can those who've had certain surgeries recently or are dealing with severe infections like HIV.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests the effectiveness of adding abemaciclib to chemotherapy drugs irinotecan and temozolomide in treating Ewing's Sarcoma. It's part of a larger effort called CAMPFIRE designed to accelerate new cancer treatments for young people.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea (from irinotecan), fatigue, low blood cell counts leading to increased infection risk (from temozolomide), and potential liver issues (from abemaciclib). Each drug may cause other unique side effects as well.
