What was measured

An incidence of severe toxicity is defined to be the occurrence of grade 3 or higher infection or grade 3 or higher sensory neuropathy during cycles 1-2 of protocol therapy. If 12 or more patients experience grade 3 or higher infection or five or more patients experience grade 3 or higher sensory neuropathy during cycles 1-2 of protocol therapy, the regimen will be flagged as being associated with an excessive rate of severe toxicity.

Analysis population: By protocol design, all eligible patients who received protocol therapy were considered in the evaluation of severe toxicity. Three (3) patients were considered ineligible. All other patients (35) started protocol therapy and are thus included in the evaluation for this measure.

Groups in this outcome

Combination Chemotherapy

Metastatic Ewing Sarcoma - 14-cycle study building on conventional tx (cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin hydrochloride, vincristine sulfate, ifosfamide, etoposide) and adding two antiangiogenic agents: the vinca alkaloid vinblastine and the cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitor celecoxib. Angiogenesis may be a suitable target for cancer therapy because tumor growth is partially dependent upon neovascularization. Vinblastine sulfate has been shown to have antiangiogenic activity and in preclinical studies, celecoxib has demonstrated antiangiogenic activity as well as inducing apoptosis in tumor vessel endothelial cells. The feasibility and safety of adding antiangiogenic agents to conventional chemotherapy will be assessed by imaging studies (DeMRI, PET, Thallium scintigraphy). Local control with conventional surgery, radiation therapy or both will be tailored for each patient to optimally treat all sites of disease.
