NCT ID NCT04145349

First seen Jan 04, 2026 · Last updated Apr 28, 2026 · Updated 16 times

Summary

This study tests whether adding the drug ramucirumab to standard chemotherapy can help children and young adults with a rare cancer called desmoplastic small round cell tumor (DSRCT) that has returned or not responded to prior treatment. About 30 participants will receive either ramucirumab plus chemo or chemo alone. The goal is to see if the combination slows tumor growth and is safe. Participation may last a year or longer.
