STUDY DESIGN: What does the study look like?

The trial is comparing two treatments, known as treatment arms A and B.


Treatment arm A is the chemotherapy that is the standard treatment used in Europe whereas treatment arm B is the chemotherapy that is used in the USA. The trial is being run as we do not know which treatment is best.


A second reason for running the trial is to test if a drug called zoledronic acid can improve treatment for Ewing sarcoma. Zoledronic acid has been widely used for the treatment of other bone diseases and cancers that start in or spread to the bone and thus might offer benefits for patients with Ewing sarcoma without worsening the side effects of the chemotherapy.
More details about the trial scheme can be found here.
