Study Overview

Brief Summary

Phase III trial to determine the effectiveness of combining systemic chemotherapy and subtenon carboplatin with ophthalmic therapy in treating children who have intraocular retinoblastoma. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as vincristine, carboplatin, and etoposide, work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. It is not yet known whether systemic chemotherapy and subtenon (under the conjunctiva of the eye) carboplatin combined with ophthalmic therapy is effective in treating intraocular (within the eyeball) retinoblastoma.

Detailed Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Determine the event-free survival at 12 months of pediatric patients' eyes with group D intraocular retinoblastoma treated with systemic chemotherapy comprising vincristine, carboplatin, and etoposide, subtenon carboplatin, and local ophthalmic therapy. (Event defined for each eye individually as needed for nonprotocol therapy including nonprotocol chemotherapy, enucleation or any external-beam radiation)

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Determine the event-free survival at 12 months of pediatric patients' eyes with group C retinoblastoma treated with systemic chemotherapy comprising carboplatin, etoposide, vincristine, subtenon carboplatin, and local ophthalmic therapy.

II. Determine the acute and long-term toxic effects of these regimens in these patients, including visual outcome and incidence of secondary malignancies.

Arms & Interventions

Treatment (chemotherapy, surgery)

Experimental

Patients receive liposomal vincristine sulfate IV over 1 minute on day 1 and carboplatin IV over 1 hour and etoposide IV over 1 hour on days 1 and 2. Patients also receive filgrastim (G-CSF) subcutaneously daily beginning on day 3 and continuing until blood counts recover. Patients receive subtenon carboplatin to each group C or D eye on day 0 or 1prior of courses 2-4 only. Treatment repeats every 28 days for 6 courses in the absence of occurrence of extraocular retinoblastoma or a second malignancy. Beginning with course 3 of systemic chemotherapy, patients undergo local ophthalmic therapy comprising local laser surgery and/or cryosurgery on day 1.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Group D Eyes - Treatment Failure Within One Year

Time Frame: One year

Each Group D eye will be classified as experiencing failure within one year after start of treatment: yes or no. The method of Rosner et al. (Biometrics v. 38, 105-114, 1982) will be used to model possible dependence between eyes from the same patient. The point estimate of the probability of treatment failure is reported as the "Mean" measure type.

Group C Eyes - Treatment Failure Within One Year

Time Frame: One year

Each Group C eye will be classified as experiencing failure within one year after start of treatment: yes or no. The method of Rosner et al. (Biometrics v. 38, 105-114, 1982) will be used to model possible dependence between eyes from the same patient. The point estimate of the probability of treatment failure is reported as the "Mean" measure type.

Secondary Outcomes

  • Event-free Survival (EFS)(One year after study enrollment)
  • Patterns of Failure for Group C and Group D in Terms of Vitreous vs Patterns of Failure for Group C and Group D in Terms of Vitreous vs Retinal vs Both as Sites of Recurrence(From the date of enrollment assessed up to 36 months)
  • Patterns of Treatment Failure vs. no Treatment Failure for Group C Eyes and Group D Eyes According to Initial Sites of Involvement(From the date of enrollment assessed up to 12 months)
  • Toxicity Associated With Chemotherapy(From date of enrollment until termination of protocol therapy assessed up to 72 weeks)
