Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

With the success of current chemotherapy for Hodgkin's disease, the goal of this protocol is to maintain the currently successful cure rate and reduce treatment related side effects and long term toxicity. The main purpose of this study is to estimate the event free survival of patients treated with risk-adapted therapy compared to historical controls.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Drug: 12 Week Stanford V Chemotherapy
  • Drug: 4 cycles of VAMP chemotherapy
  • Drug: 2 alternating cycles of VAMP/COP chemotherapy
  • Drug: 3 alternating cycles of VAMP/COP chemotherapy
Phase 2

Detailed Description

This study will evaluate the following objectives:
Primary Objectives:
  1. To evaluate the efficacy of 4 cycles of VAMP chemotherapy alone in patients with favorable risk Hodgkin's disease who achieve a complete response after 2 cycles of VAMP chemotherapy.

  2. To evaluate the efficacy of 4 cycles VAMP chemotherapy plus low dose RT in patients with favorable risk Hodgkin's disease who achieve a partial response after 2 cycles of VAMP chemotherapy.

  3. To evaluate the efficacy of 2 alternating cycles of VAMP/COP chemotherapy (total 4 cycles of chemotherapy) plus low-dose, involved-field RT in children with intermediate risk Hodgkin's disease.

  4. To evaluate the efficacy of 12 weeks of Stanford V chemotherapy plus low-dose, involved-field RT in children with unfavorable risk Hodgkin's disease.

Secondary Objectives:
  1. To evaluate patient quality of life during and after treatment from the patient and parent perspective.

  2. To compare patient and parental ratings of treatment-related symptoms and patient physical, psychological, social and cognitive functioning before the first treatment (T1

  • baseline); after Cycle 2 or after 8 weeks of Stanford V (T2 - Evaluate Response); after cycle 4 or after 12 weeks of Stanford V and before or on the first day of radiation (as applicable) (T3); at the conclusion of radiation or within a few days following the end of radiation (as applicable) (T4); and at 3 to 6 months after completion of therapy follow-up evaluation (T5).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Event-free Survival Probability by Risk Group [Median 6.4 year follow-up]

    Event-free survival (EFS) is based on the time from protocol enrollment to the occurrence of first event (relapse or progressive disease, subsequent malignancy, or death from any cause). Patients not experiencing an event are censored at their last follow-up date. Event-free Survival Probability will be estimated by Kaplan-Meier method with a 95% confidence interval.

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Correlation of Agreement Between Patient Physical QoL and Parent Proxy Physical QoL at Multiple Time Points. [At Diagnosis (T1), completion of 2 cycles of chemotherapy (T2), completion of 4 cycles of chemotherapy (T3), and 3-6 months after the completion of therapy (T5).]

    Assess and compare the patient reported and parent proxy physical quality of life across multiple time points using the Peds Quality of Life version 4.

2. Secondary Outcome
Title Correlation of Agreement Between Patient Physical QoL and Parent Proxy Physical QoL at Multiple Time Points.
Description Assess and compare the patient reported and parent proxy physical quality of life across multiple time points using the Peds Quality of Life version 4. Assessment was performed across all risk groups. The QL scoring is a 5-point Likert scale from 0 (never) to 4 (almost always). Scores are transformed on a scale from 0 to 100. Items are reverse scored and linearly transformed to a 0-100 scale as follows: 0=100, 1=75, 2=50, 3=25, and 4=0. Total score is the sum of all items over the number of items answered on all scales. The higher the score, the better the quality of life.
Time Frame At Diagnosis (T1), completion of 2 cycles of chemotherapy (T2), completion of 4 cycles of chemotherapy (T3), and 3-6 months after the completion of therapy (T5).

3. Secondary Outcome
Title Correlation of Agreement Between Patient Emotional QoL and Parent Proxy Emotional QoL at Multiple Time Points.
Description Assess and compare the patient reported and parent proxy emotional quality of life across multiple time points using the Peds Quality of Life version 4. Assessment was performed across all risk groups. The QL scoring is a 5-point Likert scale from 0 (never) to 4 (almost always). Scores are transformed on a scale from 0 to 100. Items are reverse scored and linearly transformed to a 0-100 scale as follows: 0=100, 1=75, 2=50, 3=25, and 4=0. Total score is the sum of all items over the number of items answered on all scales. The higher the score, the better the quality of life.
Time Frame At Diagnosis (T1), completion of 2 cycles of chemotherapy (T2), completion of 4 cycles of chemotherapy (T3), and 3-6 months after the completion of therapy (T5).

Outcome Measure Data

Analysis Population Description
Each participating institution made the decision to complete or not complete the QoL secondary aim. Of 296 eligible participants, 178 participated in the QoL assessment. For each time point, a matching participant and parent were required to evaluate each QoL question. We had some missing data and those over 18 years did not have parent proxy.

8. Secondary Outcome
Title Correlation of Agreement Between Patient Pain and Hurt QoL and Parent Proxy Pain and Hurt QoL at Multiple Time Points.
Description Assess and compare the patient reported and parent proxy pain and hurt quality of life across multiple time points using the Peds Quality of Life version 3. Assessment was performed across all risk groups. The QL scoring is a 5-point Likert scale from 0 (never) to 4 (almost always). Scores are transformed on a scale from 0 to 100. Items are reverse scored and linearly transformed to a 0-100 scale as follows: 0=100, 1=75, 2=50, 3=25, and 4=0. Total score is the sum of all items over the number of items answered on all scales. The higher the score, the better the quality of life.
Time Frame At completion of 2 cycles of chemotherapy (T2), completion of 4 cycles of chemotherapy (T3), and 3-6 months after the completion of therapy (T5).

Outcome Measure Data

Analysis Population Description
Of 296 eligible, 178 participated in QoL assessment. For each time point, a matching participant and parent were required to evaluate each QoL question. We had some missing data and those over 18 years did not have parent proxy. Peds QL3 is not completed at T1 for newly diagnosed patients, because it measures symptoms over the prior month.

14. Secondary Outcome
Title Correlation of Agreement Between Patient Perceived Physical Appearance QoL and Parent Proxy Perceived Physical Appearance QoL at Multiple Time Points.
Description Assess and compare the patient reported and parent proxy perceived physical appearance quality of life across multiple time points using the Peds Quality of Life version 3. Assessment was performed across all risk groups. The QL scoring is a 5-point Likert scale from 0 (never) to 4 (almost always). Scores are transformed on a scale from 0 to 100. Items are reverse scored and linearly transformed to a 0-100 scale as follows: 0=100, 1=75, 2=50, 3=25, and 4=0. Total score is the sum of all items over the number of items answered on all scales. The higher the score, the better the quality of life.
Time Frame At completion of 2 cycles of chemotherapy (T2), completion of 4 cycles of chemotherapy (T3), and 3-6 months after the completion of therapy (T5)

Outcome Measure Data

Analysis Population Description
Of 296 eligible, 178 participated in QoL assessment. For each time point, a matching participant and parent were required to evaluate each QoL question. We had some missing data and those over 18 years did not have parent proxy. Peds QL3 is not completed at T1 for newly diagnosed patients, because it measures symptoms over the prior month.

17. Other Pre-specified Outcome
Title Event-free Survival Probability by Risk Group at 10-year Follow-Up
Description Event-free survival (EFS) is based on the time from protocol enrollment to the occurrence of first event (relapse or progressive disease, subsequent malignancy, or death from any cause). Patients not experiencing an event are censored at their last follow-up date. Event-free Survival Probability will be estimated by Kaplan-Meier method with a 95% confidence interval.
Time Frame 10-year follow-up after protocol enrollment
