简要总结
RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells, but also damages normal cells in the developing brains of children. Combining low-dose radiation therapy in combination with chemotherapy should be effective in treating medulloblastoma while avoiding the long-term side effects of giving higher dose radiation to children with newly diagnosed average risk medulloblastoma.
详细描述
OBJECTIVES:
- By giving reduced dose craniospinal radiation followed by nine cycles of maintenance chemotherapy comprised of alternating cycles of lomustine, cisplatin, and vincristine alternating with cyclophosphamide and etoposide, we will reduce the late effects of higher dose radiation in children while maintaining the therapeutic efficacy (86% 3-year relapse-free survival) of current standard therapy
- To evaluate the late neurotoxic effects of low-dose craniospinal radiotherapy, in terms of cognitive, endocrinologic, and auditory function, in these patients.
OUTLINE: This is a multi center study of reduced dose craniospinal radiotherapy and chemotherapy in patients ages 3 - 30 years with newly diagnosed average risk medulloblastoma.
-
Induction chemoradiotherapy: Beginning within 28 days after complete surgical resection, patients undergo radiotherapy to the craniospinal axis (1800 centigray (cGy)) followed by conformal radiotherapy to the tumor bed (5400 cGy). Patients receive vincristine weekly for 6 weeks.
-
Maintenance chemotherapy: Beginning 4 weeks after the completion of craniospinal radiation therapy, patients receive two 6-week courses of regimen A as outlined below alternating with one 6-week course of regimen B for a total of 9 courses (AABAABAAB).
-
Regimen A: Patients receive oral lomustine and cisplatin on day 0 and vincristine on days 0, 7, and 14.
-
Regimen B: Patients receive cyclophosphamide on days 0 and 1 and etoposide intravenous (IV) on days 0 and 1, followed by oral etoposide on days 14-34.

研究组 & 干预措施
Study Treatment
All subjects will undergo routine surgical staging of their tumor. Treatment must begin within 28 days of surgery. Craniospinal Radiation therapy will last for 6 weeks, five days per week. Once a week during radiation, subjects will also be treated with vincristine. 4 weeks after radiation and vincristine treatment is completed, all subjects will begin 9 cycles (each cycle lasts 6 weeks) of "maintenance chemotherapy" which will be given as 2 different drug combinations, Regimen A (Lomustine, Vincristine, and Cisplatin) and Regimen B (Cyclophosphamide, given with Mesna, and Etoposide [IV and oral]) which will be given in the following order: AABAABAAB (total of 54 weeks).
