Ages Eligible for Study: | Child, Adult, Older Adult |
Sexes Eligible for Study: | All |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
The patient must fall into one of the following diagnostic categories:
Ewing's sarcoma family of tumors (ESF): Includes Ewing's sarcoma (classic, atypical, extra-osseous), primitive sarcoma of bone, ectomesenchymoma, or peripheral primitive neuroectodermal tumor (peripheral neuroepithelioma).
Rhabdomyosarcoma: The patient must have either
High-risk arm: Metastatic disease at diagnosis (any site, any histology);
OR
Moderate-risk arm: Incompletely resected ( Clinical Group III) Stage II tumors and ALL stage III tumors (regardless of degree of surgical resection).
Neuroblastoma: Any patient with metastatic disease at diagnosis (POG stage D or Evans' stage IV); or, patients with loco-regional metastatic disease (POG stage C) or tumor infiltrating across the midline (Evans' stage III) IF they have an elevated serum ferritin (greater than 142 ng/ml), an amplified N-myc copy number (greater than 10 copies on Southern analysis), or a DNA index of greater than 1.1.
The patient must not have been previously treated with chemotherapy or radiation therapy.
Patients must be greater than or equal to 1 year of age but less than or equal to 25 years of age. Patients weight must be greater than or equal to 15 kg.
The patient (or his/her guardian if less than 18 years of age) must sign a document indicating that he/she is aware of the investigational nature of this treatment protocol and the potential risks and benefits that may be expected.
Potentially fertile female patients must have a documented negative urine or serum pregnancy test.
Patients must have a documented negative HIV serologic evaluation (Western Blot and/or ELISA).
Patients must not have abnormal cardiac function (left ventricular ejection fraction less than 45% as measured by gated equilibrium radionuclide angiography [MUGA scan] and confirmed by echocardiography).
Patients must not have impaired renal function (serum creatinine greater than or equal to twice the upper limit of normal for age).
Patients with a total bilirubin of greater than 4.0 mg/dl (or a direct bilirubin of greater than 2.0 mg/dl) or SGOT/SGPT greater than five times the upper limits of normal (NOT on the basis of hepatic involvement by tumor) will be excluded.
Patients with a second malignancy following previous therapy will be excluded.
Patients previously treated with chemotherapy or radiation therapy (other than limited, emergency radiation therapy) will be excluded.
Patients who are HIV-infected will be excluced.
