- Surgery (week 12): Patients undergo definitive surgery (limb-salvage surgery or amputation) of the primary tumor in week 12.
- Maintenance therapy course 1 (weeks 13-25): Patients receive etoposide IV over 1 hour and ifosfamide IV over 4 hours on days 1-5 of weeks 13 and 21; zoledronic acid IV over 30 minutes on day 4 of week 17 and on day 7 of weeks 13 and 21; high-dose methotrexate IV over 4 hours on day 1 of weeks 16, 20, and 24; leucovorin calcium IV or orally every 6 hours starting on day 2 and continuing until clearance of methotrexate of weeks 16, 20, and 24; dexrazoxane hydrochloride IV slowly over 5-15 minutes, doxorubicin hydrochloride IV over 15 minutes, and cisplatin IV over 1 hour on days 1 and 2 of week 17; and G-CSF SC once daily beginning on day 6 of weeks 13, 17, and 21 and continuing until blood counts recover.
- Surgery (week 26): Patients may undergo surgical resection of primary metastases in week 26.
- Maintenance therapy course 2 (weeks 27-36): Patients receive dexrazoxane hydrochloride IV slowly over 5-15 minutes and doxorubicin hydrochloride IV over 15 minutes on days 1 and 2 of weeks 27 and 31; cisplatin IV over 1 hour on days 1 and 2 of week 27; zoledronic acid IV over 30 minutes on day 4 of week 27 and on day 7 of weeks 31 and 36; high-dose methotrexate IV over 4 hours on day 1 of weeks 30, 34, and 35; leucovorin calcium IV or orally every 6 hours starting on day 2 and continuing until clearance of methotrexate of weeks 30, 34, and 35; etoposide IV over 1 hour on days 1-5 of week 36; ifosfamide (1.8 gm/m2 ) IV over 1 hour on days 1-5 of week 31;ifosfamide (2.8 gm/m2)IV over 4 hours on days 1-5 of week 36; and G-CSF SC once daily beginning on day 3 of weeks 27, 31, and 36 and continuing until blood counts recover.
Mensa is a supportive care medicine used to prevent hemorrhagic cystitis caused by ifosfamide. It is always given when ifosfamide is given. It was used in all arms.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Limiting Toxicity
The occurrence of Limiting Toxicity defined as Any CTC AE version 4 Grade 3 and 4 non-hematologic toxicity thought to be possibly, probably or definitely related to zoledronic acid with the specific exclusion of:
- Grade 3 nausea and vomiting controlled with adequate antiemetic prophylaxis.
- Grade 3 transaminase (AST/ALT) that occurs during the evaluation period but resolves to ≤ Grade 2, before the planned dose of therapy after definitive surgery.
- Grade 3 fever or infection.
- Grade 3 or 4 hypocalcemia (see Section 5.1.1)
- Grade 3 mucositis.
- Grade 3 fatigue that returns to ≤ Grade 2, before the planned dose of therapy after definitive surgery.
- Grade 3 joint range of motion, decreased or joint effusion that is related to the primary tumor.
Measured: Enrollment through the first 12 weeks of therapy.
Secondary outcomes (4)
Histologic Response as Assessed in the Primary Tumor and in Resected Metastases
Histologic response as graded according to the system of Huvos across all specimens resected at the time of local control in the primary tumor and in resected metastases.
The best response, as quantified by maximum necrosis grading according to the system of Huvos across all specimens resected at the time of local control, will be used to quantify the effect of Induction chemotherapy.
Measured: At definitive surgery planned for 12 weeks after the start of protocol therapy.
Event-free Survival
The EFS and survival functions will be estimated by the Kaplan-Meier methodology.
Measured: Time from study enrollment to disease recurrence, death without disease progression, diagnosis of a second malignant neoplasm, assessed up to 5 years
Secondary Limiting Toxicity
Secondary limiting toxicity defined as Any CTC AE version 4 Grade 3 and 4 non-hematologic toxicity thought to be possibly, probably or definitely related to zoledronic acid with the specific exclusion of:
- Grade 3 nausea and vomiting controlled with adequate antiemetic prophylaxis.
- Grade 3 transaminase (AST/ALT) that occurs during the evaluation period but resolves to ≤ Grade 2, before the planned dose of therapy after definitive surgery.
- Grade 3 fever or infection.
- Grade 3 or 4 hypocalcemia (see Section 5.1.1)
- Grade 3 mucositis.
- Grade 3 fatigue that returns to ≤ Grade 2, before the planned dose of therapy after definitive surgery.
- Grade 3 joint range of motion, decreased or joint effusion that is related to the primary tumor.
CTC AE version 4 hematologic toxicity will be based on time to blood count recovery to an ANC ≥ 1000/µL and platelet count ≥ 100,000/µL that delays definitive surgery by more than 2 weeks.
Measured: After week 13 to the end of protocol therapy
Prognostic Value of Bone Resorption Markers
Blood will be collected for quantification of c-telopeptide and urine will be collected for quantification of n-telopeptide.
Measured: At baseline and at weeks 13 and 36

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1 study testing cisplatin, dexrazoxane hydrochloride and doxorubicin hydrochloride in people with Sarcoma, run by Children's Oncology Group at 88 sites in 4 countries.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Jul 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 88 sites in United States, Canada, Australia, Puerto Rico. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 4 Jul 2014). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Limiting Toxicity (time frame: Enrollment through the first 12 weeks of therapy.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00742924, which also lists 1 linked publication.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 4 Jul 2014.
