Doctors test promising drug duo to fight aggressive bone cancer

NCT ID NCT01864109

Summary

This study is testing whether adding two chemotherapy drugs, irinotecan and temozolomide, to the standard treatment can better control Ewing sarcoma, a type of bone and soft tissue cancer. It involves 83 patients aged 1 to 40 who are newly diagnosed and have not yet received treatment. The goal is to see if this new combination helps patients live longer without their cancer coming back, compared to the current standard regimen alone.
