简要总结

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving combination chemotherapy may kill more tumor cells. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. An autologous stem cell transplant may be able to replace blood-forming cells that were destroyed by chemotherapy and radiation therapy. This may allow more chemotherapy to be given so that more tumor cells are killed. Sometimes, after surgery, the tumor may not need more treatment until it progresses. In this case, observation may be sufficient. It is not yet known whether observation is more effective than combination chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and/or autologous stem cell transplant in treating neuroblastoma.

PURPOSE: This randomized phase III and phase IV trial is studying observation, combination chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and/or autologous stem cell transplant to compare how well they work in treating young patients with neuroblastoma.

详细描述

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • Determine the event-free survival (EFS) of younger patients with newly diagnosed neuroblastoma categorized in the low-risk group (LRG) who undergo observation only or receive combination chemotherapy.
  • Compare the EFS rate in patients with neuroblastoma categorized in the medium-risk group (MRG) treated with combination induction therapy, maintenance therapy, and consolidation therapy with that of a historical control group.
  • Compare the EFS in patients with neuroblastoma categorized in the high-risk group (HRG) treated with standard vs experimental induction therapy followed by autologous stem cell transplantation and consolidation therapy.

Secondary

  • Determine the locoregional EFS of patients in the LRG, MRG, or HRG.
  • Determine the overall survival of these patients.
  • Determine the extent of initial surgery, the extent or impact of best surgery, and surgery-related complications in these patients.
  • Determine the time to transition to stage 4 disease in patients in the LRG or MRG.
  • Determine the time to a locoregional event in patients in the LRG or HRG.
  • Determine the time from diagnosis to an event in patients in the LRG.
  • Determine the time from the beginning of regression to an adverse event in patients in the LRG.
  • Determine the time to the beginning of primary tumor regression in patients in the LRG.
  • Determine the time to the normalization of tumor markers in patients in the LRG.
  • Determine the time to no evidence of disease in patients in the LRG with stage 4S disease.
  • Assess the status of the primary tumor at 12 months and the best status of the primary tumor within 12 months in patients in the LRG.
  • Determine the need for chemotherapy to control progression and the intensity of therapy required in patients in the LRG.
  • Determine the acute and late side effects of external-beam radiotherapy in patients in the MRG or HRG.
  • Determine the response to induction therapy in patients in the HRG.
  • Assess early response after 2 courses of induction therapy in patients in the HRG.
  • Determine the toxicity during induction courses 1 and 2 and the frequency of grade 3 or 4 toxicity during induction therapy in patients in the HRG.
  • Assess the efficacy of iodine I 131 metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) therapy, in terms of activity and whole body dose, in patients in the HRG.
  • Assess molecular markers (e.g., chromosome 1p, chromosome 11q, neuroblastoma gene chip) in these patients.
