Brief Summary:

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. Giving more than one chemotherapy drug with radiation therapy may kill more tumor cells.

PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving intrathecal and systemic combination chemotherapy together with radiation therapy works in treating young patients with newly diagnosed central nervous system (CNS) atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumors.

Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Multi-agent Intrathecal and Systemic CT with RT (mod IRS III)

Pre-irradiation induction therapy (wks 1-6); Chemoradiation induction therapy (wks 7-12); Post-radiation induction therapy (wks 13-18); Maintenance therapy (wks 19-44); Continuation therapy (wks 45-51)

Induction Chemotherapy: CT backbone of the IRS-III regimen [vincristine, dactinomycin, cyclophosphamide (specifically, in combination), cisplatin, doxorubicin, and imidazole carboximide (DTIC)] was modified to incl temozolomide in lieu of DTIC. Pts w/ M0 dz (and initially positive CSF cytology) rcvd intrathecal (IT) CT (alt btwn intralumbar and intraventricular routes) w/ methotrexate, cytarabine, and hydrocortisone, coinciding with a cycle of CT.

Radiation Therapy: Pts w/ M0 dz OR M+ dz aged <3y received focal RT (3D conformal or intensity-modulated delivery). Pts >3y w/ M+ dz rcvd craniospinal irradiation.

Continuation Therapy: Pts treated with either non-doxorubicin or doxorubicin dose therapy if receiving CSI or mediastinal radiotherapy or not, respectively.

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. 2-yr Overall Survival [ Time Frame: Patients are followed for survival up to 5 yrs post-therapy completion or death; As of this analysis, median follow-up among survivors was 31 months with the longest follow-up being 40 months. ]
    Overall survival is defined as the time from date of diagnosis to death or date of last follow-up. 2-year overall survival is the probability of patients remaining alive at 2-years from study entry estimated using Kaplan-Meier (KM) methods which censors patients at date of last follow-up. Precision of this conditional probability estimate was measured in terms of standard error. Median OS, the original primary endpoint, was not estimable based on the Kaplan-Meier method because of insufficient follow-up.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Pre-Radiation Therapy Chemotherapeutic Response [ Time Frame: Assessed at study entry and pre-RT/post-CT at week 7. ]

    Response pre-RT/post-CT was defined as follows with overall response defined as achieving PR or CR.

    Complete Response (CR): Complete resolution of all initially demonstrable tumor on MRI or CT evaluation w/o appearance of any new areas of disease; negative CSF cytology. Partial Response (PR): >/= 50% decrease in the sum of the products of the maximum perpendicular diameters of the tumor (sum LD) relative to baseline w/o appearance of any new areas of disease; CSF cytology unchanged from that at diagnosis or clearing after being initially positive Stable Disease (SD): <50% decrease in the sum LD w/o appearance of any new areas of disease; CSF cytology unchanged from that at diagnosis or clearing after being initially positive Progressive Disease (PD): >/= 25% increase in the sum LD relative to baseline, or the appearance of any new areas of disease or appearance of positive cytology after two consecutive negative samples.



Other Outcome Measures:
  1. Grade 3/4 Events [ Time Frame: Assessed during therapy up to 30 days post-therapy completion which is approximately 55 weeks for patients who completed therapy. ]
