INTER-EWING-1

Clinical trial to improve the treatment of patients with Ewing sarcoma

Ewing sarcoma is a malignant tumour that usually affects the bones. Although Ewing sarcoma mainly affects adolescents and young adults, it can occur at any age. In most patients, Ewing sarcoma is treated with intensive chemotherapy and surgery or radiotherapy, or a combination of the two. The aim of the INTER-EWING-1 study is to improve treatment outcomes in children and adults with Ewing sarcoma. In particular, researchers will investigate whether adding chemotherapy and modifying the radiation dose lead to improved treatment outcomes. In order to better understand the disease, researchers will analyse the biology of Ewing sarcoma and investigate to what extent radiological imaging can help predict how the body responds to treatment.
