ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:	NCT00047177

Purpose

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die.

PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of oxaliplatin in treating children who have recurrent or refractory medulloblastoma, supratentorial primitive neuroectodermal or atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor.

Study Start Date:

October 2002

Detailed Description:

OBJECTIVES:

Determine the objective response rate in pediatric patients with recurrent or refractory medulloblastoma, supratentorial primitive neuroectodermal tumor, or atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor treated with oxaliplatin.
Determine the objective response rate (complete and partial response) in patients with recurrent or progressive medulloblastoma at second or later relapse treated with this drug.
Determine the pharmacokinetics of this drug in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to tumor type (medulloblastoma [measurable disease at first relapse vs positive cerebrospinal fluid or linear leptomeningeal disease vs measurable disease at second or later progression] vs supratentorial primitive neuroectodermal tumor vs atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor).

Patients receive oxaliplatin IV over 2 hours on day 1. Treatment repeats every 21 days for up to 17 courses (1 year) in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Patients are followed every 3 months for 1 year and then every 6 months for 4 years.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 65 patients will be accrued for this study within 1.5-2.8 years.
