Objective response rate to oxaliplatin in recurrent or progressive medulloblastoma at first progression

Study Overview

Brief Summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die.

PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of oxaliplatin in treating children who have recurrent or refractory medulloblastoma, supratentorial primitive neuroectodermal or atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor.

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Estimate the objective response rate to oxaliplatin in pediatric patients with recurrent or refractory medulloblastoma at first progression.
  • Estimate the objective response rate to oxaliplatin in pediatric patients with recurrent or refractory medulloblastoma at second or later relapse.
  • Estimate the objective response rate to oxaliplatin in pediatric patients with recurrent or refractory supratentorial primitive neuroectodermal tumor, or atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor.
  • Describe the pharmacokinetics of this drug in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to tumor type (medulloblastoma [measurable disease at first relapse vs positive cerebrospinal fluid or linear leptomeningeal disease vs measurable disease at second or later progression] vs supratentorial primitive neuroectodermal tumor vs atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor).

Patients receive oxaliplatin IV over 2 hours on day 1. Treatment repeats every 21 days for up to 17 courses (1 year) in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 65 patients will be accrued for this study within 1.5-2.8 years.
