Summary

This phase 2 trial tests a combination treatment for desmoplastic small round cell tumor (DSRCT), a rare cancer that often spreads in the abdomen. Participants receive a single dose of a radioactive antibody called 131I-omburtamab directly into the abdomen, followed by targeted radiation to the whole abdomen. The goal is to see if this approach can delay or prevent the cancer from coming back after surgery and chemotherapy.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
a radioactive antibody called 131I-omburtamab given through a catheter into the abdomen, plus external beam radiation
What this could lead to
If it works, this combination could help prevent or delay the return of this rare cancer after surgery and chemotherapy.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase trial with only 31 participants, so results may not apply widely. The treatment involves radiation and may cause side effects.
