Combination Chemotherapy and Radiation Therapy in Treating Patients With Newly Diagnosed Rhabdomyosarcoma

Basic Trial Information

Phase	Type	Status	Age	Sponsor	Protocol IDs
Phase III	Treatment	Active	Under 50	NCI	COG-ARST0531 NCT00354835, ARST0531

Objectives

Primary

1. Compare the early response rates in patients with intermediate-risk rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) treated with vincristine, dactinomycin, and cyclophosphamide (VAC) vs VAC alternating with vincristine and irinotecan hydrochloride (VI) in combination with radiotherapy.
2. Compare failure-free survival (FFS) and overall survival of patients treated with these regimens.

Secondary

1. Compare FFS, local control, and survival of patients with intermediate-risk RMS treated with VAC and early (week 4) radiotherapy vs delayed (week 10) radiotherapy, using data from IRS-IV for historic comparison.
2. Compare the acute and late effects of VAC vs VAC alternating with VI, including the toxicity associated with concurrent VI and radiotherapy.
3. Compare the acute and late effects of VAC as delivered on this study to that administered on COG-D9803.
4. Correlate change in fludeoxyglucose F¹⁸ positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) maximum standard uptake value from week 1 to week 4 and 15 with FFS.
5. Correlate UGT1A1 genotype with VI toxicity in patients receiving VAC alternating with VI.
6. Correlate CYP2B6, CYP2C9, and GSTA1 genotypes with VAC toxicity.
7. Prospectively evaluate and validate gene expression values with the intent to define the best diagnostic predictors and more powerful prognostic classifiers.

Entry Criteria

Disease Characteristics:

• Histologically or cytologically confirmed rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS)
  • Must be concurrently enrolled on COG-D9902 to confirm local histologic diagnosis



• Intermediate-risk disease, defined by 1 of the following surgicopathologic and staging criteria:

Outline

This is a prospective, historic control, randomized, multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to histology, disease stage, and clinical group (group III, stage 2 or 3 embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma [RMS] vs group I, stage 1 alveolar RMS vs group II or III, stage 2 or 3 alveolar RMS). Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms. within 42 days of initial surgery or biopsy.

• Arm I (VAC): Patients receive VAC chemotherapy comprising vincristine IV over 1 minute on day 1 of weeks 1-13, 16, 19-25, 28, 31-37, and 40; dactinomycin IV over 1-5 minutes on day 1 of weeks 1, 4, 13, 16, 19, 22, 25, 28, 31, 34, 37,and 40; and cyclophosphamide IV over 1 hour on day 1 of weeks 1, 4, 7, 10, 13, 16, 19, 22, 25, 28, 31, 34, 37, and 40.



• Arm II (VAC/VI): Patients receive VAC chemotherapy alternating with VI chemotherapy comprising vincristine IV over 1 minute on day 1 of weeks 1-13, 16, 17, 19, 20, 22-26, 28, 31-34, 37, 38, and 40; dactinomycin IV over 1-5 minutes on day 1 of weeks 1, 13, 22, 28, 34, and 40; cyclophosphamide IV over 1 hour on day 1 of weeks 1,10, 13, 22, 28, 34, and 40; and irinotecan hydrochloride IV over 1 hour on days 1-5 of weeks 4, 7, 16, 19, 25, 31, and 37.

In both arms, treatment continues in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients* in both arms also undergo radiotherapy 5 days a week for 4-6 weeks beginning in week 4 (except patients with alveolar RMS rendered group I by amputation OR patients needing week 1 emergency radiotherapy for symptomatic spinal cord compression).

 [Note: *Individualized local control plan that deviates from protocol-mandated radiotherapy allowed for patients ≤ 24 months of age]

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed periodically for ≥ 10 years.
