  • Ages Up to 47 months
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child

Who may be able to join

  • Patients must be newly diagnosed and have a confirmed histologic diagnosis of nodular desmoplastic (ND) medulloblastoma or medulloblastoma with extensive nodularity (MBEN) from rapid central pathology screening review; please note: patients with Gorlin syndrome are eligible
  • Patient must have negative lumbar cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) cytology (lumbar CSF must be obtained unless medically contraindicated); CSF cytology for staging should be performed preferably no sooner than 14 days post operatively to avoid false positive CSF, ideally, CSF should be obtained between day 14 and day 21 to allow for final staging status before enrollment onto the study; Note: patients with positive CSF cytology obtained prior to 14 days after surgery may have cytology repeated to determine eligibility and final CSF status
  • Patients must have:
  • Pre-operative cranial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) (recommended with gadolinium) or pre-operative computed tomography (CT) (recommended with contrast)
  • Post-operative cranial MRI with and without gadolinium within 72 hours of surgery
  • Spinal MRI pre-op with and without gadolinium or post-op with and without gadolinium preferably within 72 hours of surgery
Show all 23Show fewer
  • Patients must be enrolled on study within 31 days of definitive surgical resection at which time tissue is acquired to determine a diagnosis; patients must be enrolled before treatment begins; the date protocol therapy is projected to start must be no later than five (5) calendar days after the date of study enrollment; patients who are started on protocol therapy on a Phase II study prior to study enrollment will be considered ineligible
  • Patients must have a performance status corresponding to Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) scores of 0, 1 or 2; use Lansky for patients =< 16 years of age

  • 1 to < 2 years: 0.6 mg/dL
  • 2 to < 6 years: 0.8 mg/dL
  • Total bilirubin =< 1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN) for age

About this study

Official title: A Phase II Study for the Treatment of Non-metastatic Nodular Desmoplastic Medulloblastoma in Children Less Than 4 Years of Age

This phase II trial studies how well combination chemotherapy works in treating younger patients with newly diagnosed, non-metastatic desmoplastic medulloblastoma. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as vincristine sulfate, cyclophosphamide, methotrexate, etoposide, and carboplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Estimate of the progression free survival (PFS) distribution for patients 0-<4 years of age with M0 desmoplastic medulloblastoma (nodular desmoplastic or medulloblastoma with extensive nodularity) treated with the modified HIT SKK regimen (excluding the use of intraventricular methotrexate).

OTHER PRE-SPECIFIED OBJECTIVES:

  1. Evaluate the feasibility of a rapid central pathology screening review for treatment allocation according to histology and assess agreement between institutional and central pathology review diagnoses as well as among central pathology review diagnoses.

II. Prospectively evaluate the molecular profile of nodular desmoplastic (ND)/medulloblastoma with extensive nodularity (MBEN) medulloblastoma in young children.

III. Monitor and describe the neurocognitive and adaptive functioning of young children with ND/MBEN medulloblastoma treated on this protocol using the ALTE07C1 protocol.

OUTLINE:

INDUCTION THERAPY: Patients receive vincristine sulfate intravenously (IV) over 1 minute or infused via minibag on days 1, 15, and 29; cyclophosphamide IV over 1 hour on days 1-3; methotrexate IV over 24 hours on days 15 and 29; etoposide IV over 60-120 minutes on days 43-45; and carboplatin IV over 1 hour on days 43-45. Treatment repeats every 63 days for 3 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

CONTINUATION THERAPY: Patients receive vincristine sulfate IV over 1 minute or infused via minibag on day 1, cyclophosphamide IV over 1 hour on days 1-3, etoposide IV over 60-120 minutes on days 21-23, and carboplatin IV over 1 hour on days 21-23. Treatment repeats every 42 days for 2 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 3, 6, 9, 12, 16, 20, 24, 36, 48, 60, and 72 months.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Progression-free Survival (PFS)

    Progression-free survival (PFS) is defined as the time interval from diagnosis to the earliest of disease progression/recurrence or death from any cause, or to the date of last follow-up for patients without events. PFS was estimated using the method of Kaplan and Meier. 2-year estimates are reported with 95% CI's.

    Measured: 2 years from diagnosis

  2. Overall Survival (OS)

    Overall Survival (OS) is defined as the time from diagnosis to death from any cause, or to the date of last follow-up for survivors. OS was estimated using the method of Kaplan and Meier. 2-year estimates are reported with 95% CI's, as the data are not mature to 72 months.

    Measured: Assessed up to 72 months, reported at 2 years from diagnosis

  3. Event-free Survival (EFS)

    Event-free survival (EFS) is defined as the time from diagnosis to the earliest of disease progression/recurrence, second malignancy or death from any cause, or to the date of last follow-up for patients without events. EFS was estimated using the method of Kaplan and Meier. 2-year estimates are reported with 95% CI's.

    Measured: 2 years from diagnosis

  4. Percentage of Patients With Responses at 189 Days

    The percentage of patients with complete response (CR) at the end of induction (~189 days) was reported and presented with the associated exact 95% confidence interval.

    Measured: 189 days from start of treatment

  5. Percentage of Patients With Responses at 273 Days

    The percentage of patients with complete response (CR) at the end of therapy (~273 days) was reported and presented with the associated exact 95% confidence interval.

    Measured: 273 days from start of treatment

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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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 Apr 2019). 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?

Progression-free Survival (PFS) (time frame: 2 years from diagnosis). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT02017964.

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 9 Jan 2023.
