Brief Summary

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

The goal of this clinical trial is to to assess the efficacy of romiplostim as a supportive care measure in patients with a new diagnosis of Ewing sarcoma receiving interval-compressed chemotherapy. The main questions it aims to answer are:

1. To demonstrate the efficacy of romiplostim in patients with newly diagnosed Ewing sarcoma, measured specifically as the rate of chemotherapy-induced thrombocytopenia (CIT), defined as a failure to achieve platelet recovery.
2. To determine the safety of incorporation of romiplostim supportive care when given concurrently with Ewing sarcoma therapy.
3. To determine the feasibility of incorporation of romiplostim supportive care into upfront Ewing sarcoma regimens

Detailed Description

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

This is a single-arm, multi-center clinical trial to assess the efficacy of romiplostim as a supportive care measure in patients with a new diagnosis of Ewing sarcoma receiving interval-compressed chemotherapy. Patients will be enrolled and started on romiplostim as early as cycle 1 day 1 of their chemotherapy, but no later than 2 weeks from the start of the 5th cycle. If their platelet count is \< 200,000/mm3, patients will start romiplostim based on their weight. Dose escalation of romiplostim may occur weekly if platelet count is \< 200,000/mm3. Once maximum dose of romiplostim is reached, this dose level will be maintained every 7 days (+/- 2 days).

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Romiplostim administration with chemotherapy cycles

Enrolled patients may start romiplostim, as early as cycle 1 day 1; all patients MUST initiate romiplostim no later than 2 weeks from the start of the 5th cycle of chemotherapy. If plt count \< 200,000/mm3, patients will start romiplostim based on their weight.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Romiplostim (AMG-531)

Intervention Type DRUG

Romiplostim may be started as supportive care, as early as cycle 1 day 1; all patients MUST initiate romiplostim no later than 2 weeks from the start of the 5th cycle of chemotherapy (see exception below for patients with platelet count of 200,000 or greater). If plt count \< 200,000/mm3, patients will start romiplostim based on their weight

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Age: Patients must be \>1 year old at the time of study consent.
* Diagnosis: Patients with a new diagnosis of Ewing sarcoma treated with interval-compressed chemotherapy as per AEWS0031, AEWS1221, or AEWS1031.
* Informed Consent: All patients and/or their parents or legally authorized representatives must sign a written informed consent. Assent, when appropriate, will be obtained according to institutional guidelines.

Exclusion Criteria

* Marrow disease: Patients with metastatic Ewing sarcoma to the bone marrow are not eligible. Marrow staging is not required for this study but should be performed if clinically indicated.
* Concomitant therapy, cancer directed: Patients receiving whole lung radiation, \>50% of pelvic irradiation, other substantial bone marrow radiation (i.e. ≥ 50% of vertebral marrow space), or patients undergoing pneumonectomy as a component of local control before cycle 14, are not eligible. These therapies are not an exclusion if instituted during or after cycle 14.
* Concomitant therapy, non-cancer directed:

* Patients requiring hematopoietic stem cell rescue are not eligible.
* Previous use of romiplostim, eltrombopag or any other platelet-producing agent is not allowed.
* Previous therapy for immune thrombocytopenia and related conditions, including rituximab, mycophenolic acid, protracted systemic steroids, and/or IVIG, is prohibited.
* Treatment with erythropoietin-stimulating agents is prohibited.
* Patients receiving another investigational drug are not eligible.
* Patients who are receiving prophylactic dosing of heparin (i.e. enoxaparin) or oral anticoagulants (i.e. rivaroxaban) for thrombosis prevention may be considered for enrollment but will be excluded from secondary aim 'a' analysis (efficacy measured as the median platelet count and transfusion dependency) given shift in transfusion thresholds.
* Concurrent Illnesses: Patients with a history of or current diagnosis of bone marrow failure, hematologic malignancy, pro-thrombotic condition, or platelet disorder (including immune or heparin induced thrombocytopenia) are not eligible.
* Patients who in the opinion of the investigator may not be able to comply with the study (including safety monitoring requirements of the study) are not eligible.
