About This Trial

This single arm study is designed to demonstrate the feasibility of a radically different approach for an exceptionally high-risk subset of MES with widely metastatic disease (WMES). We incorporate the use of evolutionary principles that apply to species and population dynamics as related to adaptation and extinction to populations of cancer cells that similarly adapt and that we are attempting to make extinct, resulting in a cure for the patient. Such principles include an initial intense first strike to deplete the bulk of the cancer cells, followed by a series of sequential second strikes towards eliminating residual, resistant populations, followed by a prolonged period of maintenance chemotherapy to eliminate any remnant cells, using agents generally regarded to be active against newly diagnosed ES.

What Stage of Research Is This?

Phase 1 trials test a new treatment for the first time in humans, focusing on safety, dosing, and how the body processes the drug. For Metastatic Ewing Sarcoma, a Phase 1 study typically enrolls a small number of participants — often healthy volunteers or patients who have exhausted standard treatment options. Phase 1 results determine whether a treatment moves into larger Phase 2 efficacy studies.

This trial is currently recruiting participants. The sponsor has registered the study with ClinicalTrials.gov as actively enrolling, which means new applicants who meet the eligibility criteria can be considered for screening. Trial status can change between updates — confirm current recruiting status with the study contact before traveling for a screening visit.

With a target enrollment of 15 participants, this is a small study — typical of early-phase research, rare-disease trials, or pilot studies designed to generate preliminary signal before a larger study is launched.

Who May Be Eligible (Plain English)

Who May Qualify: - Patients must be \>1 year of age. There is no upper age limit. - Patients, in the opinion of the enrolling investigator, must be healthy enough to tolerate protocol therapy. - Patients must have a new histologic diagnosis of either: widely metastatic Ewing sarcoma or metastatic CIC-rearranged sarcoma. - Patients must have sufficient tissue submitted (flash frozen tissue, FFPE block, or up to 10 unstained FFPE slides) for correlative testing. This may be from a primary or metastatic site. - Patients must not have received any previous cancer treatment that works throughout the body (like chemotherapy) with the exception that they may have started an initial cycle of vincristine/doxorubicin/cyclophosphamide (VDC) prior to enrollment, i.e. VDC may have been given, but not ifosfamide/etoposide (IE). - your organs (liver, kidneys, etc.) are working well enough based on blood tests. - Males and females of reproductive potential may not participate unless they have agreed to the use of, at minimum, two methods of contraception during and after treatment or abstinence. - All patients and/or their parents or legal guardians must have the ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written willing to sign a consent form or assent document. Who Should NOT Join This Trial: - Patients with localized disease or lung only metastases for Ewing sarcoma or localized disease for CIC-rearranged sarcomas. - Patients with central nervous system (CNS) tumors (primary or metastatic) are not eligible. - Patients who are receiving any other investigational agents for their cancer. - Patients with a history of cancer that was treated with myelosuppressive chemotherapy or radiation therapy. - Patients must not be receiving any additional medicines being given for the specific purpose of treating cancer. - Patients are ineligible if they have uncontrolled intercurrent illness. ...See full criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov Always talk to your doctor about whether this trial is right for you.

Inclusion Criteria: * Patients must be \>1 year of age.

This may be from a primary or metastatic site. * Patients must not have received any prior systemic therapy with the exception that they may have started an initial cycle of vincristine/doxorubicin/cyclophosphamide (VDC) prior to enrollment, i.e. VDC may have been given, but not ifosfamide/etoposide (IE). * Adequate organ function. * Males and females of reproductive potential may not participate unless they have agreed to the use of, at minimum, two methods of contraception during and after treatment or abstinence. * All patients and/or their parents or legal guardians must have the ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent or assent document. Exclusion Criteria: * Patients with localized disease or lung only metastases for Ewing sarcoma or localized disease for CIC-rearranged sarcomas. * Patients with central nervous system (CNS) tumors (primary or metastatic) are not eligible. * Patients who are receiving any other investigational agents for their cancer. * Patients with a history of cancer that was treated with myelosuppressive chemotherapy or radiation therapy. * Patients must not be receiving any additional medicines being given for the specific purpose of treating cancer. * Patients are ineligible if they have uncontrolled intercurrent illness. * Pregnancy or Breast Feeding: Pregnant or breast-feeding women will not be entered on this study, because there is no available information regarding human fetal or teratogenic toxicities. Females of childbearing potential must have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test within 72 hours prior to starting protocol therapy. * Patients who are considered unable to comply with the safety monitoring requirements of the study are not eligible.

How to Talk to Your Doctor About This Trial

Bring the printable summary of this trial — including the NCT ID (NCT07194044), the sponsor (H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute), and the key eligibility criteria — to your next appointment. Your doctor can review the inclusion and exclusion criteria against your medical history, lab values, and current treatments to assess whether you are likely to qualify. They can also help you weigh whether trial participation makes sense alongside your existing care plan.

Useful questions to walk through together: What does the trial protocol require beyond standard care? How long is the active treatment phase, and how long is follow-up? Are there study visits at sites I can reach? Who pays for the trial-specific procedures, and who pays for standard-of-care portions? See our 25 questions to ask about clinical trials guide for a more complete checklist.
