Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This phase III trial is studying the side effects and how well giving combination chemotherapy together with autologous stem cell transplant and/or radiation therapy works in treating young patients with extraocular retinoblastoma. Giving chemotherapy before an autologous stem cell transplant stops the growth of tumor cells by stopping them from dividing or killing them. After treatment, stem cells are collected from the patient?s blood and/or bone marrow and stored. More chemotherapy is given to prepare the bone marrow for the stem cell transplant. The stem cells are then returned to the patient to replace the blood-forming cells that were destroyed by the chemotherapy. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Giving radiation therapy after combination chemotherapy and/or autologous stem cell transplant may kill any remaining tumor cells.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
Phase 3

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES:
  1. To estimate the proportion of 3 groups of patients with extraocular retinoblastoma (stage 2 and 3: regional extra-ocular disease;, stage 4a: disseminated metastatic disease not involving the central nervous system [CNS]; or stage 4b: patients with CNS disease) who achieve long-term event-free survival after treatment with aggressive multimodality therapy compared to historical controls.

  2. To estimate the response rate to the induction phase of the regimen. III. To evaluate the toxicities associated with this regimen.

OUTLINE:

INDUCTION CHEMOTHERAPY: Patients receive vincristine intravenously (IV) on days 0, 7, and 14, cisplatin IV over 6 hours on day 0, cyclophosphamide IV over 1 hour and etoposide IV over 1 hour on days 1 and 2, and filgrastim (G-CSF) subcutaneously (SC) beginning on day 3 and continuing until blood counts recover.

Treatment repeats every 21 days for up to 4 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of induction chemotherapy, patients with stage 2 or 3 disease who have at least a partial response proceed to radiotherapy. Patients with stage 4a or 4b disease who have at least a partial response proceed to high-dose consolidation chemotherapy and autologous stem cell infusion.

STEM CELL HARVESTING (stage 4a or 4b disease only): Peripheral blood stem cells (preferred) or bone marrow cells are collected after at least 1 course of induction chemotherapy.

HIGH-DOSE CONSOLIDATION CHEMOTHERAPY (stage 4a or 4b disease only): Patients receive carboplatin IV over 4 hours on days -8 to -6 and thiotepa IV over 3 hours and etoposide IV over 3 hours on days -5 to -3.

AUTOLOGOUS STEM CELL INFUSION (stage 4a or 4b disease only): Patients undergo autologous stem cell infusion on day 0. Patients then receive filgrastim subcutaneously (SC) beginning on day 1 and continuing until blood counts recover.

RADIOTHERAPY: Patients with stage 2 or 3 disease (orbital and/or regional involvement) undergo radiotherapy to sites that were initially involved beginning within 42 days after the start of course 4 of induction chemotherapy. Patients with stage 4a or 4b disease undergo radiotherapy to sites initially involved based on response beginning approximately 42 days after autologous stem cell infusion. Patients with stage 4a disease who achieve a complete response to induction chemotherapy or with less than 5 mm of residual tumor at the time of planned irradiation, or patients with stage 4b disease who achieve a complete response to induction chemotherapy do not undergo radiotherapy.

After completion of study therapy, patients are followed every 3 months for 1 year and then annually thereafter for 9 years.

  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Event-free Survival (EFS) [At 1 year]

      The probability of surviving patients who did not experience events at 1 year following enrollment. An event is defined as relapse, second malignancy, or death from any cause.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Response Rate to the Induction Phase of the Regimen [12 weeks after participant received the first dose]

      This study used a modified version of the international criteria for neuroblastoma response. The response rate to the induction phase of the regimen and a corresponding 95% confidence interval will be calculated for all strata combined.

    2. Percentage of Participants With Adverse Events as Assessed by the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) Version 4.0 [Up to 30 days after completion of study treatment]

      Grade 3 and higher toxicities will be descriptively summarized.

    Outcome Measures

    1. Primary Outcome
    Title Event-free Survival (EFS)
    Description The probability of surviving patients who did not experience events at 1 year following enrollment. An event is defined as relapse, second malignancy, or death from any cause.
    Time Frame At 1 year

    Outcome Measure Data

    Analysis Population Description
    Ineligible patients were excluded from analysis
    Arm/Group Title Stage 2/3 Patients Stage 4a Patients Stage 4b Patients
    Arm/Group Description Patients with orbital disease (including microscopic trans-scleral invasion seen on enucleation pathology), optic nerve margin (+), and/or regional nodal disease, but no other sites of metastases. Stage 2 and 3 patients will receive Induction chemotherapy and External Beam Radiation Therapy, but will not receive Consolidation therapy (High-Dose Chemotherapy with Stem Cell Rescue). Patients with overt distant metastatic disease (such as bone, bone marrow, and/or liver) but no detectable CNS involvement. Patients will receive Induction chemotherapy, Stem Cell Harvesting, Consolidation with Stem Cell Rescue, and depending on response to Induction chemotherapy, possibly External Beam Radiation Therapy. Patients with overt CNS involvement (brain parenchyma, leptomeninges and CSF cytology). Patients with trilateral retinoblastoma will be included. Patients will receive Induction chemotherapy, Stem Cell Harvesting, Consolidation with Stem Cell Rescue, and depending on response to Induction chemotherapy, possibly External Beam Radiation Therapy.

    2. Secondary Outcome
    Title Response Rate to the Induction Phase of the Regimen
    Description This study used a modified version of the international criteria for neuroblastoma response. The response rate to the induction phase of the regimen and a corresponding 95% confidence interval will be calculated for all strata combined.
    Time Frame 12 weeks after participant received the first dose

    Adverse Events

    Time Frame Up to 30 days after completion of study treatment.
    Adverse Event Reporting Description Adverse event reporting is collected routinely using case report forms. The SAE table reflects NCI Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAEs) submitted by the institution, via expedited reporting (NCI AdEERs / CAeRs). The "AE Other" table reflects all CTCAEs collected excluding those that were reported as SAEs. Ineligible patients are excluded from reporting of adverse events.
