简要总结
RATIONALE: Giving chemotherapy before an autologous stem cell transplant stops the growth of tumor cells by stopping them from dividing or by killing them. It also prepares the patient's bone marrow for the stem cell transplant. The stem cells are given to the patient to replace the blood-forming cells that were destroyed by the chemotherapy. Giving isotretinoin after transplant may kill any remaining tumor cells. It is not yet known which combination chemotherapy regimen is more effective when given before a stem cell transplant and isotretinoin in treating neuroblastoma.
PURPOSE: This randomized clinical trial is studying two different combination chemotherapy regimens to compare how well they work when given before a stem cell transplant and isotretinoin in treating young patients with high-risk neuroblastoma.
详细描述
OBJECTIVES:
Primary
- Compare the event-free survival of pediatric patients with high-risk neuroblastoma treated with standard induction chemotherapy vs topotecan hydrochloride-containing induction chemotherapy followed by myeloablative autologous stem cell transplantation and consolidation therapy with isotretinoin.
Secondary
- Compare the overall survival of patients treated with these regimens.
- Compare early response (complete response, very good partial response, partial response, mixed response, stable disease, and progression/relapse) after 2 courses of standard vs experimental induction chemotherapy (or after 60 days if the second course is not yet finished).
- Compare response to standard vs experimental induction chemotherapy before autologous stem cell transplantation (or after 280 days if induction chemotherapy is not yet finished).
- Compare the toxicity of standard vs experimental induction chemotherapy during courses 1 and 2 and the frequency of ≥ grade 3 toxicity during the last 6 courses of induction chemotherapy.
- Compare the extent of initial surgery and best surgery (biopsy vs incomplete resection vs macroscopic complete resection) and the frequency of complications related to surgery (e.g., nephrectomy, bleeding, infection, or intestinal obstruction).
- Compare the acute and long-term side effects of external-beam radiotherapy.
- Correlate the activity of MIBG and whole-body radiation dose.
- Collect and store tumor material in the tumor bank for future evaluation of other molecular markers (MYCN and status of chromosome 1p and 11q) and prognostic significant gene signatures.
