Quality of life and Q-TWiST were not adversely affected in Ewing sarcoma patients treated with combined anlotinib, irinotecan, and vincristine: (Peking University People's Hospital Ewing sarcoma trial-02, PKUPH-EWS-02).

ABSTRACT:

Background

Combined treatment with anlotinib, irinotecan, as well as vincristine for advanced Ewing sarcoma (EWS) has been verified been effective in the prospective trial of Peking University People's Hospital EWS trial-02. We aimed to assess the dynamic changes in health-related quality of life (QoL) and the benefit-risk in quality-adjusted survival in current study.

Methods

Twelve "pediatric" patients and 23 "adult" patients were enrolled. QoL was assessed with the EORTC QLQ-C30 for adults and PedsQL 3.0 Cancer Module for children and adolescents. The quality-adjusted time without symptoms of disease progression or toxicity of treatment (Q-TWiST) analysis was used to describe treatment results.

Results

Progression-free survival was not accompanied by diminished QoL
