Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as irinotecan, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing.

PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well irinotecan works in treating patients with newly diagnosed Ewing's sarcoma.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

* Assess the responsiveness of single-agent irinotecan hydrochloride in a patient population with newly diagnosed high-risk Ewing's sarcoma.

OUTLINE: This is an open-label, multicenter study.

Patients receive irinotecan hydrochloride IV over 1 hour on day 1. Treatment repeats every 21 days for 2 courses. After completion of 2 courses of therapy, patients may receive additional treatment at the discretion of the treating physician.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed periodically.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 35 patients will be accrued for this study.
