This is such promising news. Can’t wait to see what the future holds.

Promising new research is bringing hope to the Ewing sarcoma community. 💙

Researchers at the Faculty of Medicine at the University of British Columbia have developed a new targeted cancer therapy that showed remarkable results in preclinical studies for Ewing sarcoma and several other cancers.

The therapy targets a protein called IL1RAP, found on the surface of certain cancer cells but largely absent from healthy tissue. By attaching a cancer-fighting drug to an antibody that recognizes this protein, researchers created a treatment designed to precisely attack cancer cells while minimizing harm to normal cells.

In multiple Ewing sarcoma models, the therapy:
• Eliminated established tumors
• Dramatically reduced the spread of cancer (metastasis)
• Demonstrated a strong safety profile in preclinical testing
The findings were recently published in Cancer Discovery and researchers say the data support moving toward human clinical trials in the near future.

“This isn’t a distant possibility,” said senior author Dr. Poul Sorensen. “The data position this for clinical trials in the very near future.”

We are also proud to share that Dr. Poul Sorensen serves on the Strategic Advisory Board of the Ewing Sarcoma Institute (ESI). His decades of dedication to Ewing sarcoma research continue to help advance new understanding and potential treatment approaches for patients around the world.

Researchers believe IL1RAP may act like a “protective shield” that helps cancer cells survive as they travel through the body and form metastases. This new approach turns that shield into a target — delivering treatment directly into the cancer cells themselves.

While more work remains before this therapy can be tested in patients, this research represents an exciting and encouraging step forward in the search for more precise and effective treatments for Ewing sarcoma and other cancers.

We are deeply grateful to the researchers and collaborators around the world dedicated to advancing better treatments and hope for patients and families.🎗️
