EE2012

EE2012: International Randomised Controlled Trial for the Treatment of Newly Diagnosed Ewing's Sarcoma Family of Tumours (ESFT).

Trial Overview and Summary

This trial is for the Ewing’s sarcoma family of tumours. The aim is to compare two chemotherapy regimens to see which is more effective.  The two treatment regimens are the VIDE strategy (vincristine, ifosfamide, doxorubicin and etoposide (VIDE) chemotherapy followed by vincristine, actinomycin D and ifosfamide/cyclophosphamide (VAI/VAC) or busulfan and melphalan (VAI/BuMel)), and the VDC/IE strategy (alternating cycles of vincristine, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin (VDC) and ifosfamide, etoposide (IE) chemotherapy and followed by cycles of ifosfamide, etoposide (IE) and vincristine, cyclophosphamide (VC) or busulfan and melphalan (VAI/BuMel)).  The second aim of the trial is to see if giving a drug called zoledronic acid with this chemotherapy can improve treatment.
