Objectives - To estimate the proportion of children with extraocular retinoblastoma who achieve long-term event-free survival after treatment with aggressive multimodality therapy compared to historical controls.
- To estimate the response rate to the induction phase of the regimen.
- To evaluate the toxicities associated with this regimen.
Entry Criteria Disease Characteristics:
- Histologically or cytologically confirmed extraocular retinoblastoma, meeting 1 of the following criteria:
- Stage 2 or 3 disease (regional extraocular disease)
- Stage 4a disease (disseminated metastatic disease not involving the CNS, including extradural/dural disease without parenchymal or leptomeningeal disease)
- Stage 4b disease (CNS disease, including trilateral retinoblastoma)
- Extraocular
disease includes any of the following:
- Orbital disease
- Optic nerve involvement at the surgical margin
- Regional nodal disease
- Overt distant metastatic disease (at sites such as bone, bone marrow, liver, and/or the CNS)
Prior/Concurrent Therapy:
- No prior chemotherapy or radiotherapy for extraocular retinoblastoma
- Prior chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy for intraocular
retinoblastoma allowed
- No other concurrent anticancer chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or immunomodulating agents (including steroids)
- Corticosteroid therapy is allowed only for
treatment of increased intracranial pressure in patients with CNS tumors
- Dexamethasone should not be
prescribed as an anti-emetic
Patient Characteristics:
- ANC ≥ 750/μL*
- Platelet count ≥ 75,000/μL* (transfusion independent)
- Creatinine clearance OR radioisotope glomerular filtration rate ≥ 70 mL/min
- Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 times upper limit of normal (ULN)
- AST or ALT < 2.5 times ULN
[Note: *Inadequate ANC and/or platelet count due to bone marrow metastatic disease allowed] Expected Enrollment 90Outcomes Primary Outcome(s)Event-free survival
Secondary Outcome(s)Response rate Toxicity
Outline This is a multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to disease stage (stage 2 or 3 [regional extraocular disease] vs stage 4a [disseminated metastatic disease not involving the CNS, including extradural/dural disease without parenchymal or leptomeningeal disease] vs
stage 4b [CNS disease, including trilateral retinoblastoma]). - Induction chemotherapy: Patients receive vincristine IV on days 0, 7, and 14, cisplatin IV over 6 hours on day 0, cyclophosphamide IV over 1 hour and etoposide IV over 1 hour on days 1 and 2, and filgrastim (G-CSF) subcutaneously (SC) beginning on day 3 and continuing until blood counts recover. Treatment repeats every 21 days for up to 4 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. After completion of induction chemotherapy, patients with
stage 2 or 3 disease who have at least a partial response proceed to radiotherapy. Patients with stage 4a or 4b disease who have at least a partial response proceed to high-dose consolidation chemotherapy and autologous stem cell infusion.
- Stem cell harvesting (stage 4a or 4b disease only): Peripheral blood stem cells (preferred) or bone marrow cells are collected after at least 1 course of induction chemotherapy.
- High-dose consolidation chemotherapy (stage 4a or 4b disease only): Patients receive carboplatin IV over 4 hours on days -8 to -6 and thiotepa IV over 3 hours and etoposide IV over 3 hours on days -5 to -3.
- Autologous stem cell infusion (stage 4a or 4b disease only): Patients undergo autologous stem cell infusion on day 0. Patients then receive G-CSF SC beginning on day 1 and continuing until blood counts recover.
- Radiotherapy: Patients with stage 2 or 3 disease (orbital and/or regional involvement) undergo radiotherapy to sites
that were initially involved beginning within 42 days after the start of course 4 of induction chemotherapy. Patients with stage 4a or 4b disease undergo radiotherapy to sites initially involved based on
response beginning approximately 42 days after autologous stem cell infusion. Patients with stage 4a disease who achieve a complete
response to induction chemotherapy or with less than 5 mm of residual tumor at the time of planned
irradiation, or patients with stage 4b disease who achieve a complete response to induction chemotherapy do not undergo radiotherapy.
After completion of study therapy, patients are followed every 3 months for 1 year and then annually thereafter.

Note: The purpose of most clinical trials listed in this database is to test new cancer treatments, or new methods of diagnosing, screening, or preventing cancer. Because all potentially harmful side effects are not known before a trial is conducted, dose and schedule modifications may be required for participants if they develop side effects from the treatment or test. The therapy or test described in this clinical trial is intended for use by clinical oncologists in carefully structured settings, and may not prove to be more effective than standard treatment. A responsible investigator associated with this clinical trial should be consulted before using this protocol. Back to Top |
