1 INES Trial
Prospective, open-label, single-arm, multicenter phase II trial. At least a total of 45-50 eligible patients is required for the study, of whom 15/20 patients will fall into the standard-risk category and continue with standard dose chemotherapy, and 30 patients will be considered high-risk or very high-risk and will be intended to be treated with TREO-MEL.
Not Applicable None Experimental ARM: All patients start neoadjuvant chemotherapy at the standard doses according to the COG’s interval-compressed chemotherapy modality [Protocol Reference 12]. Patients receive chemotherapy alternating cycles of vincristine, doxorubicin, and cyclophosphamide (VDC) with ifosfamide and etoposide (IE).
Cycles are administered every 14 days with hematopoietic growth factor support or as soon as blood count recovery permits. Patients receive 6 cycles of VDC/IE induction before the local control with surgery, radiation, or a combination of both (see protocol addendums: Surgery Guidelines and Radiotherapy Guidelines). Those patients with localized disease classified as standard-risk, after histological or radiological response evaluation, will continue to receive adjuvant chemotherapy at the standard doses according to the interval-compressed chemotherapy strategy for a total of 14 cycles of chemotherapy [Protocol Reference 12]. Differently, patients classified as high-risk or very high-risk at diagnosis or after histological or radiological response evaluation, will receive HDCT with treosulfan combined to melphalan (TREO-MEL) as consolidation treatment after a further 4 cycles of VDC/IE.
In localized disease, autologous peripheral hematopoietic stem cell harvest can be performed after the third cycle (week 4) or after the result of the histological necrosis, following the seventh cycle (week 14). In metastatic disease, hematopoietic stem cells are harvested whenever possible after the third cycle (week 4). Patients with BM involvement must have BM complete remission before the hematopoietic stem cell harvest. Thus, for these patients the analysis of BM remission will be performed at the end of the induction chemotherapy (six cycles) and the haematopoietic stem cell harvest postponed after the seventh cycle. Surgery of the primary tumor and metastases could be performed at various time points, whenever feasible. When indicated, radiotherapy starts after the VDC cycle at week 14. In case of concomitant radiotherapy, doxorubicin will be omitted. After disease re-staging at week 22, patients receive HDCT with TREO-MEL with autologous stem cell transplantation at week 23. Only for patients with lung metastatic disease, WLI 15 Gy for < 14 years old and 18 Gy for ≥ 14 years old patients are applied at least eight weeks after the stem cell re-infusion following TREO-MEL. Patients without lung metastases do not receive WLI.

Eligibility criteria

Principal inclusion / exclusion criteria as submitted by sponsor

Inclusion criteria 9

  1. Primary diagnosed and histologically confirmed, localized or metastatic, Ewing sarcoma (ES) of bone or soft tissue, or ‘Ewing-like’ sarcoma but negative for EWSR1 gene rearrangement;
  2. Patients with disseminated ES are included if any of the following conditions are present: a) 0-5 bone lesions at age < 14 years; b) 0-1 bone lesion at age > 14 years; c) bone marrow (BM) involvement; d) Extraosseous metastases + BM involvement or + bone lesion(s) with the aforementioned age-cut-offs;
  3. Informed consent signed by the patient and/or by the parents/legal guardian;
  4. Age < 50 years. Paediatric patients (< 18 years old) must be treated in accredited centers for the treatment of paediatric cancer patients
  5. Registration to the protocol ≤ 45 days from diagnostic biopsy/surgery
  6. Karnofsky > 50% for participants > 16 years old or Lansky Play Score > 50% for paediatric participants ≤ 16 years old or ECOG ≤ 2 for adult participants;
  7. Adequate bone marrow function, defined as: Peripheral absolute neutrophil count (ANC) > 0.75 ×10 9 /L • Haemoglobin > 8.0 g/dL (transfusion allowed) • Platelet count > 75 × 10 9 /L (transfusion allowed)
  8. Adequate organ function (serum creatinine < 1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN), calculated creatinine clearance > 60 ml/min as determined by Cockcroft-Gault or according to age and sex as determined by Schwartz’s Formula, serum bilirubin ≤ 1.5 × ULN, except for Gilbert’s Syndrome, serum lipase and amylase ≤ 1.5 × ULN, ALT and AST≤ 2.5 × ULN or ≤ 5.0 × ULN for patients with hepatic metastases, normal ventricular ejection function as LVEF > 50% and SF > 28%);
  9. A negative pregnancy test before enrolment and once a month during therapy for female participants of potential childbearing; for patients sexually active, it is mandatory to use an effective contraception throughout the treatment and up to 6 months beyond its end. A woman is considered of childbearing potential, i.e. fertile, following menarche and until becoming post-menopausal unless permanently sterile. Permanent sterilisation methods include hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy and bilateral oophorectomy.

Exclusion criteria 7

  1. The presence of > 5 bone lesions at age < 14 years or > 1 bone lesion at age > 14 years. Bone lesions must be confirmed by CT scan, MRI, PET scan or, in doubtful cases, by biopsy;
  2. Presence of concomitant bone metastases + bone marrow involvement (at least one site positive for metastatic infiltration);
  3. Prior or concurrent chemotherapy or radiotherapy;
  4. Any other severe concomitant comorbiditiesthat, according to the opinion of the Investigator, makes the enrollment in the study inappropriate for the patient, in particular: o myocardial infarction/unstable angina/congestive heart failure within 6 months before enrollment, LVEF less than the lower limit of normal per local institutional standards, history of clinically significant atrial arrhythmia or any history of ventricular arrhythmia; o uncontrolled hypertension, according to age values (patients with hypertension should be under treatment on study entry to carry out blood pressure control); o cerebrovascular accident or transient ischemic attack within 6 months before enrollment, any history of peripheral arterial occlusive disease requiring revascularization, venous thromboembolism including deep venous thrombosis or pulmonary embolism within 6 months before enrolment; o uncontrolled metabolic alterations (such as hypertriglyceridemia); o severe active uncontrolled infection; o history of bleeding disorder; o history of acute pancreatitis (within 1 year before study entry) or history of chronic pancreatitis; o history of alcohol abuse;
  5. Second malignancy;
  6. Pregnant or breastfeeding women;
  7. Neuropsychiatric, social, geographic or severe family problems that make it difficult for the patient to participate in the study.
