The goal of this clinical trial is to to assess the efficacy of romiplostim as a supportive care measure in patients with a new diagnosis of Ewing sarcoma receiving interval-compressed chemotherapy. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. To demonstrate the efficacy of romiplostim in patients with newly diagnosed Ewing sarcoma, measured specifically as the rate of chemotherapy-induced thrombocytopenia (CIT), defined as a failure to achieve platelet recovery. 2. To determine the safety of incorporation of romiplostim supportive care when given concurrently with Ewing sarcoma therapy. 3. To determine the feasibility of incorporation of romiplostim supportive care into upfront Ewing sarcoma regimens
This is a single-arm, multi-center clinical trial to assess the efficacy of romiplostim as a supportive care measure in patients with a new diagnosis of Ewing sarcoma receiving interval-compressed chemotherapy. Patients will be enrolled and started on romiplostim as early as cycle 1 day 1 of their chemotherapy, but no later than 2 weeks from the start of the 5th cycle. If their platelet count is \< 200,000/mm3, patients will start romiplostim based on their weight. Dose escalation of romiplostim may occur weekly if platelet count is \< 200,000/mm3. Once maximum dose of romiplostim is reached, this dose level will be maintained every 7 days (+/- 2 days).

Romiplostim may be started as supportive care, as early as cycle 1 day 1; all patients MUST initiate romiplostim no later than 2 weeks from the start of the 5th cycle of chemotherapy (see exception below for patients with platelet count of 200,000 or greater). If plt count \< 200,000/mm3, patients will start romiplostim based on their weight

RECRUITINGNumber of evaluable participants (11 or fewer of 26) that develop CIT during the continuation phase of compressed-interval chemotherapy compared to institutional historical control rate.
CIT is defined as failure to achieve platelet recovery ((≥ 75,000/µL post nadir, without transfusion, or a platelet count sufficient to resume chemotherapy per provider and institutional standard) within 7 days of planned chemotherapy cycle start, measured during the continuation phase (beyond cycle 6)
Time frame: 52 weeks
Measure adverse events with the addition of romiplostim when given with chemotherapy.
To determine the safety of incorporation of romiplostim supportive care when given concurrently with Ewing sarcoma therapy.
Time frame: 52 weeks
Number of patients able to receive the majority of planned romiplostim doses.
Feasibility will be met if fewer than 9 of 26 enrolled patients fail to receive at least 60% of planned romiplostim doses (excluding doses held for thrombocytosis or post-operatively) from initiation through at least the end of the 13th cycle of chemotherapy or through at least the end of the 16th cycle of chemotherapy.
Time frame: 52 weeks
