Cisplatin-Based Chemotherapy and/or Surgery in Treating Young Patients With Adrenocortical Tumor
This study is currently recruiting participants.
Verified by National Cancer Institute (NCI), January 2009
Sponsors and Collaborators: Children's Oncology Group
National Cancer Institute (NCI)
Information provided by: National Cancer Institute (NCI)
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00304070
  Purpose

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cisplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) may kill more tumor cells. Giving chemotherapy before surgery may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed. Giving it after surgery may kill any tumor cells that remain after surgery.

PURPOSE: This phase III clinical trial is studying how well cisplatin-based chemotherapy and/or surgery works in treating young patients with stage I, stage II, stage III or stage IV adrenocortical cancer.

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Primary tumor measurement [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Measurable metastatic disease [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Response of metastatic target lesions [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Nonmeasurable metastatic disease [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Overall response [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Estimated Enrollment: 235
Study Start Date: September 2006
Estimated Primary Completion Date: July 2011 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Arms Assigned Interventions
Stratum I (stage I disease): Experimental
Patients undergo primary tumor resection and retroperitoneal lymph node sampling followed by observation. Patients who have undergone prior surgery without nodal sampling undergo observation only.
Procedure: conventional surgery
Patients undergo surgery
Stratum II (stage II disease): Experimental
Patients undergo primary tumor resection and extended regional lymph node dissection followed by observation. Patients who have undergone prior surgery with simple resection of the primary tumor undergo exploratory surgery with extended regional lymph node dissection followed by observation.
Procedure: conventional surgery
Patients undergo surgery
Stratum III (stage III or IV disease): Experimental
Patients receive a combination chemotherapy with filgrastim (G-CSF) for up to 30 weeks (10 courses) followed by mitotane alone for an additional 2 months. Some patients undergo surgery after chemotherapy course 2 or 4. Some patients undergo additional surgery after finishing all chemotherapy.
