Phase 3
Active, not recruiting
Conditions
Retinoblastoma
Interventions
Drug: 3 cycles chemotherapy
Drug: 6 cycles chemotherapy
Registration Number
NCT01906814
Lead Sponsor
Sun Yat-sen University
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether 3 cycles of chemotherapy(CEV) is not inferior to 6 cycles of chemotherapy(CEV) in the treatment of Stage I enucleated retinoblastoma.

Detailed Description

This study will be a phase Ⅲ open label interventional case series. Patients with unilateral Stage I enucleated retinoblastoma will be randomized to receive chemotherapy(CEV) of 3 cycles or 6 cycles every 21 days. Patients will be followed for 60 months.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
disease-free survivalfive years

measure the disease-free survival rate for the two groups at five years

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
overall survivalfive years

time from randomization to death as a result of any cause at five years

economic burden due to chemotherapyduring chemotherapy (9 weeks for 3-cycle group, and 18 weeks for 6-cycle group)

All costs, including direct cost and indirect cost, are expressed in Chinese YUAN. Direct costs include the average cost of systemic chemotherapy, operation, supportive treatment, and examination. Indirect costs include accommodation, transportation, diet, and lost income of parents.

quality of life (PedsQL4.0 scale) in the Treatment of Retinoblastomafive years

quality of life (PedsQL4.0 scale) before each treatment, at 1,3,6,9,12,18,24,30,36,42,48,54,60 months after the treatment. PedsQL 4.0 questionnaire has two modules (reported by parents and children) with 23 items encompassing the physical domains (8 items), emotional (5 items), social (5 items) and school (5 items). A five scores scale is used, after being asked, ''How much, in the last month, your child has had problems with'' (0 = never a problem; 1 = almost never a problem; 2 = sometimes a problem; 3 = is often a problem and 4 = almost always a problem). The items are reverse-score and linearly transformed to a scale from 0 to 100 (0=100, 1=75, 2=50, 3=25, 4 = 0). So high scores indicate better QoL.
