Brain Tumor Clinical Trial
Official title:
A Phase II Study To Assess The Ability Of Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy Plus/Minus Second Look Surgery To Eliminate All Measurable Disease Prior To Radiotherapy For NGGCT
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop tumor cells from
dividing so they stop growing or die. Giving a chemotherapy drug before surgery may shrink
the tumor so that it is no longer present by conventional imaging and tumor markers from
serum and cerebrospinal fluid. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor
cells. Peripheral stem cell transplantation may allow the doctor to give higher doses of
chemotherapy drugs and kill more tumor cells. Combining different types of therapy may kill
more tumor cells.
PURPOSE: This Phase II trial is studying how well neoadjuvant chemotherapy with or without
surgery and with or without high dose chemotherapy and peripheral stem cell transplantation,
can increase response rates prior to radiation therapy and increase progression free and
overall surviving patients with newly diagnosed intracranial germ cell tumors.
OBJECTIVES:
- Determine the response rate of patients with non-germinomatous germ cell tumors treated
with neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
- Determine the progression-free survival and overall survival of patients treated with
neoadjuvant chemotherapy with or without second-look surgery followed by radiotherapy
with or without autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT).
- Determine whether additional complete responses can be achieved after high-dose thiotepa
and etoposide with PBSCT in patients with persistently positive markers, histological
evidence of residual malignant elements, or unresectable residual tumors after initial
neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
- Determine patterns of recurrence in patients treated with this regimen.
- Correlate tumor marker response with radiographic and clinical measures of response, as
well as findings at second-look surgery in patients with radiological evidence of
residual disease.
OUTLINE:
- Induction chemotherapy:
- Courses 1, 3, and 5: Patients receive carboplatin IV over 1 hour on day 1 and
etoposide IV over 1 hour on days 1-3. Beginning on day 4, patients receive
filgrastim (G-CSF) IV or subcutaneously (SC) for 10 days or until blood counts
recover. Courses are 3 weeks in duration.
- Courses 2, 4, and 6: Patients receive etoposide IV over 1 hour followed by
ifosfamide IV over 1 hour on days 1-5. Beginning on day 6, patients receive G-CSF
IV or SC for 10 days or until blood counts recover. Courses are 3 weeks in
duration.
Patients undergo re-evaluation. Patients with a complete response (CR) go directly to
radiotherapy. Approximately 3 weeks after completion of induction chemotherapy, all patients
with less than a CR are encouraged to undergo second-look surgery.
After second-look surgery, patients with a CR or a partial response (PR) go directly to
radiotherapy. Patients with less than a PR undergo consolidation chemotherapy with peripheral
blood stem cell rescue (PBSC) followed by radiotherapy.
- Consolidation chemotherapy: Patients undergo PBSC collection. Patients receive G-CSF SC
until PBSC collection is complete. Patients then receive thiotepa IV over 3 hours
followed by etoposide IV over 3 hours on days -5 to -3. PBSCs are reinfused on day 0.
Beginning on day 1 and continuing until blood counts recover, patients receive G-CSF SC
daily.
- Radiotherapy: All patients receive radiotherapy once daily 5 days a week for 5-6 weeks
beginning after recovery from induction chemotherapy or second-look surgery or within 9
weeks after PBSC reinfusion.
Patients are followed every 3 months for 1 year, every 4 months for 1 year, every 6 months
for 1 year, and then annually thereafter.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 80-100 patients will be accrued for this study within 36-42
months.
