Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: Randomised trial to test for superiority regarding event-free survival (EFS) Standard Risk R1: in localised Ewing tumour (ET) with good histological response or initial tumour volume 200ml (R2loc): busulfan/melphalan high dose chemotherapy (HDT) and autologous stem cell reinfusion versus standard chemotherapy . In pulmonary metastases: busulfan/melphalan HDT and autologous stem cell reinfusion (SCT) versus standard chemotherapy plus whole lung irradiation (R2pulm). Very High Risk R3: in primary disseminated disease: treosulfan-melphalan HDT and autologous SCT add-on to 8 cycles of standard adjuvant chemotherapy versus 8 cycles of standard adjuvant chemotherapy alone. ;Secondary Objective: - To investigate whether any of the following improves overall survival: in R1: add-on fenretinide, bisphosphonates or bisphosphonates + fenretinide compared to no add-on treatment. in R2: high dose chemotherapy with busulfan/melphalan. in R3: high dose chemotherapy with treosulfan-melphalan. - To evaluate short and long-term toxicity. - To analyse the overall outcome. - To analyse quality of life overall and regarding impact of add-on treatment. - To examine the value of PET for diagnosis. - To investigate the impact of time to diagnosis. ;Primary end point(s): Event-free survival (The principal coordinating investigator is responsible for regular follow-up for all patients. The trial offices on behalf of the principal investigator are responsible for at least one yearly update on events in each single patient) ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: For all risk groups R1, R2loc,R2pulm and R3 three interim analyses are intended to be performed using an inverse normal design corresponding to an equally spaced four step group sequential design according to O’Brien & Fleming (Wassmer 2006, O’Brien & Fleming 1979). After each interim analysis a data dependent sample size calculation may be performed. Then, the accrual period, the observation time and the sch
