MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: The main objective behind this study is to test the hypothesis that the variation seen in the exposure to vincristine, ifosfamide, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin and etoposide in patients is related to the age of the patient (children, adolescents and adults). This may explain differences in toxicity and/or survival response to these drugs. This information may be used to improve the treatment of patients taking these drugs in the future. ;Secondary Objective: A secondary objective is the use of biological markers measured in the blood to predict levels of toxicity in children and young adults being treated with vincristine, ifosfamide, doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide and etoposide. ;Primary end point(s): To establish pharmacokinetic profiles for vincristine, ifosfamide, doxorubicin, etoposide and cyclophosphamide in adolescent Ewing's sarcoma patients and to compare profiles between children, adolescents and adults. To validate in young people a panel of blood-borne biomarkers which have been shown to be predictive of bone marrow and mucosal toxicity in adults.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Pharmacokinetic parameters for this study population (including age groupings defined within the protocol) will be determined following recruitment of all patients and analysis of samples collected. An interim analysis of data will be carried out following the recruitment of the first 80 patients studied.
