This study is being conducted to test the safety and efficacy of ramucirumab in combination with other chemotherapy in the treatment of relapsed, recurrent, or refractory desmoplastic small round cell tumor (DSRCT) in children and young adults. This trial is part of the CAMPFIRE master protocol (NCT05999994) which is a platform to accelerate the development of new treatments for pediatric and young adult participants with cancer. Your participation in this trial could last 12 months or longer, depending on how you and your tumor respond.
Phase 1 trials primarily test safety and dosing in a small number of participants (typically 20–100). Results do not yet speak to efficacy. FDA approval is typically many years away from this stage.
Phase 2 trials begin testing efficacy in a larger patient group (100–300). This is often where biotech binary events occur — positive Phase 2 data can significantly advance a company's pipeline narrative, while failures can be terminal for a program.
Enrollment is complete. The trial is in its follow-up or data collection phase — a readout may occur on or near the primary completion date.
Eli Lilly and Company (LLY) is the sponsoring company for this trial. BiotechSign currently grades this company C (54/100) based on composite catalyst signals across its full pipeline. This trial is one data point in that overall catalyst picture.
