Summary
This trial is testing if a drug called lurbinectedin is safe and effective at treating cancer, including Ewing sarcoma.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for people aged 10 and older with certain types of sarcoma, including Ewing Sarcoma, that have come back or didn't respond to initial treatment. Participants need measurable disease, adequate organ function, and must not be pregnant or breastfeeding. They should agree to use birth control and meet specific recovery criteria from previous treatments.
What is being tested?
The study is testing the safety and effectiveness of a drug called lurbinectedin in treating recurrent or relapsed solid tumors. It focuses on patients whose tumors have specific genetic features known as FET fusions.
What are the potential side effects?
While the trial aims to determine all side effects of lurbinectedin, potential ones based on its class may include fatigue, nausea, hair loss (alopecia), decreased appetite, constipation or diarrhea, shortness of breath (dyspnea), coughing up blood (hemoptysis), and various blood-related issues.
