ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00025428
  Purpose

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Giving chemotherapy drugs before surgery may shrink the tumor so that it can be removed during surgery.

PURPOSE: Phase III trial to determine the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy given before surgery in treating children who have localized neuroblastoma.

Neuroblastoma
Drug: carboplatin
Drug: cyclophosphamide
Drug: doxorubicin hydrochloride
Drug: etoposide
Drug: vincristine sulfate
Procedure: adjuvant therapy
Procedure: conventional surgery
Procedure: neoadjuvant therapy

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Event-free survival at 3 years [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Estimated Enrollment: 100
Study Start Date: December 2000
Detailed Description:

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine the outcome, in terms of local control, event-free survival, and overall survival, of children with localized unresectable neuroblastoma without MYCN amplification treated with carboplatin, etoposide, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, and vincristine followed by surgery.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Patients receive carboplatin IV over 1 hour and etoposide IV over 2 hours on days 1-3 (courses 1 and 3). Patients receive cyclophosphamide IV over 1 hour on days 1-5 (or orally on days 2 and 3), doxorubicin IV over 6 hours on days 4-5, and vincristine IV on days 1 and 5 (courses 2 and 4). Treatment repeats every 21 days for 4 courses.

Patients then undergo surgical resection followed by 2 additional courses of chemotherapy.

Patients are followed at months 8, 10, 12, 16, 20, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, and 60.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 100 patients will be accrued for this study within 4 years.
