Prospective Evaluation of Dynamic Serum ProGRP for Treatment Response Monitoring in Ewing Sarcoma

Обзор

This single-center prospective observational study aims to evaluate whether longitudinal changes in serum pro-gastrin-releasing peptide (ProGRP) reflect treatment response in patients with newly diagnosed Ewing sarcoma. Serum ProGRP levels will be measured before systemic treatment, during neoadjuvant chemotherapy, before local treatment, and after local treatment. Changes in ProGRP will be compared with radiographic tumor response assessed according to RECIST version 1.1. The study will also explore the ability of early ProGRP changes to predict objective radiographic response and the association between ProGRP patterns and event-free survival. ProGRP results obtained for research purposes will not be used to guide clinical treatment decisions.

Подробное описание

Patients with newly diagnosed, histologically confirmed Ewing sarcoma who are scheduled to initiate first-line systemic treatment at Peking University People's Hospital will be prospectively enrolled. Treatment selection, including chemotherapy, surgery, and radiotherapy, will be determined by the treating physicians according to routine clinical practice and will not be assigned by the study protocol.

Peripheral blood samples will be collected before the initiation of chemotherapy (T0), after the second or third cycle of neoadjuvant chemotherapy and before the next cycle (T1), after completion of planned neoadjuvant chemotherapy and before definitive local treatment (T2), and at the first routine follow-up visit after surgery or radiotherapy (T3). If longitudinal surveillance is included in the final protocol, additional samples will be collected during routine follow-up.

Serum ProGRP will be measured using an electrochemiluminescence immunoassay. Radiographic response will be assessed according to RECIST version 1.1 by two independent radiologists blinded to the ProGRP results. Disagreements will be resolved by a third reviewer.

The primary analysis will evaluate the correlation between the percentage change in serum ProGRP from T0 to T2 and the percentage change in the sum of diameters of RECIST target lesions over the same period. Secondary analyses will evaluate early prediction of objective response, longitudinal ProGRP patterns, and associations with event-free survival.
