Second Opinions
Dr. Pete Anderson | Cleveland Clinic
One of the premier Ewing Sarcoma experts, Dr. Pete conducts hundreds of remote consults per year. He has retired from the clinic, but sill offers virtual guidance. Appointments can be made via his admin, Sammi Garzone: garzones@ccf.org
Dr. Jonathan Gill & Dr. Karen Moody | MD Anderson
This team offers a much sought-after integrative oncology approachβthey treat Ewing sarcoma with both cutting-edge medical therapy and comprehensive symptom, emotional, and quality-of-life support. Do we know how this team sets up second opinions? Virtual? In Person only? By referral?
NEWS Tumor Board
The National Ewing Sarcoma Tumor Board (NEWS) pulls multidisciplinary experts from across the country to consult on cases. Leaders in the fields of pediatric & medical oncology, radiation oncology, orthopedic oncology, radiology/IR, pathology and other surgical specialties participate representing leading institutions such as Dana-Farber, Duke, Nationwide Childrenβs, Seattle Childrenβs, and Stanford. Recommendations will be delivered back to your oncologist (not to the patient directly).
Your oncologist can submit your case with a question for the board.

Trials & Options for Newly Diagnosed Patients
IN:Formation Next Generation Sequencing Program
Dr. Giselle Sholler | Penn State Health & Beach Childhood Cancer Consortium
The IN:Formation Project uses advanced genomic sequencing to reveal the mechanics, drivers, and targets in your child's unique tumor. Patients may participate in this program when their tumor is biopsied or during surgical local control. Participating helps you and your team learn more about your tumor while also contributing to research. There is an arm of this program that includes treatment recommendations.
This is considered an observational trial. Participation does not include intervention, but it does provide valuable information that may be helpful in relapsed or refractory situations.
Ewingβs U Episode: May 2022 (Dr. Sholler and this program have moved to Penn State Health)
ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT04715178
Location: Multiple Locations, US
Status: Recruiting
METTSEO Trial
Dr. Matteo Trucco & Dr. Jonathan Metts | Cleveland Clinic & H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center
This Phase 1 trial tests an alternative strategy for widely metastatic Ewing sarcoma by optimizing the sequencing of existing chemotherapy rather than introducing a new drug. METTSEO rotates multi-agent regimens every ~6β8 weeks to limit resistance, applying an evolution-based approach: an initial βfirst strikeβ to reduce tumor burden, followed by sequential βsecond strikesβ targeting resistant cells and a maintenance phase to suppress regrowth. The goal is to improve historically poor outcomes by disrupting tumor adaptation.
Ewing's U Episode: April 2025
ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT07194044

INTER-EWING-1 β Regorafenib + Optimized Standard Therapy
Prof. Bernadette Brennan | University of Manchester / CRUK Clinical Trials Unit
Multi-tyrosine kinase inhibitor + multimodal therapy optimization.
This Phase 2 international trial tests whether adding regorafenibβa multi-tyrosine kinase inhibitorβto standard chemotherapy improves outcomes in newly diagnosed Ewing sarcoma, while simultaneously optimizing radiotherapy dosing and evaluating maintenance chemotherapy. Patients are randomized across multiple arms examining targeted therapy, dose-adjusted radiation, and extended low-dose chemotherapy. The goal is to improve survival by enhancing standard treatment across multiple points of care rather than introducing a single new regimen.

SARC037 β Trabectedin + Low-Dose Irinotecan
Dr. Patrick Grohar | CHOP
EWS::FLI1 suppressor + topoisomerase I inhibitor.
This study pairs trabectedin β a drug shown to suppress the EWS::FLI1 fusion protein that drives Ewing sarcoma β with low-dose irinotecan. Trabectedin reverses the EWS::FLI1 transcriptional program, and low-dose irinotecan sustains that effect. Phase 2 results (2024) reported a 33% response rate and ~48% 6-month progression-free survival in relapsed/refractory Ewing sarcoma.
