Summary
This trial is testing whether adding a new drug called abemaciclib to standard cancer treatments can help children and young adults with Ewing's sarcoma that has come back or did not respond to previous treatments. Abemaciclib works by blocking proteins that help cancer cells grow, which may slow down or stop the tumor. Participation could last several months or more, depending on individual responses.
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.
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.
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.

Other Research
The most common treatments for Ewing Sarcoma include chemotherapy agents such as irinotecan and temozolomide, which work by damaging the DNA of cancer cells, thereby inhibiting their ability to replicate and leading to cell death. Additionally, investigational treatments like CDK4/6 inhibitors, such as abemaciclib, target specific proteins involved in cell cycle regulation.
By inhibiting CDK4/6, these agents prevent cancer cells from progressing through the cell cycle, effectively halting their growth and proliferation. This is particularly important for Ewing Sarcoma patients as these treatments can potentially improve outcomes by targeting the cancer cells more precisely and reducing the likelihood of resistance to therapy.
