Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Arm I (chemotherapy, autologous PBSC, 3D-CRT)
Patients receive vincristine IV on days 1, 8, and 15; high-dose methotrexate IV on day 1; leucovorin calcium orally or IV; etoposide IV on days 4, 5, and 6; cyclophosphamide IV on days 4 and 5; cisplatin IV on day 6, and G-CSF IV or SC on day 7 until ANC recovers. Within 2-6 weeks after induction therapy or radiation therapy, patients receive high-dose carboplatin IV and high-dose thiotepa IV on days 1 and 2 and undergo autologous PBSC rescue on approximately day 4. Patients also receive G-CSF IV or SC once daily until ANC recovers. Treatment with consolidation therapy followed by stem cell rescue repeats every 28 days for 3 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. After consolidation therapy, patients undergo 3D-CRT to the brain (and the spine if needed) 5 days a week for 5-6 weeks. |

- Event-free Survival [ Time Frame: Up to 4 years after study enrollment ]Estimated 4-year EFS where EFS is calculated as the time from study enrollment to disease progression, disease relapse, occurrence of a second malignant neoplasm, death from any cause or last follow-up whichever occurs first. Kaplan-Meier method is used for estimation. Patients without an event are censored at last contact.
- Overall Survival (OS) [ Time Frame: Up to 4 years after study enrollment ]Estimated 4-year survival, where survival is calculated as the time from study enrollment to death from any cause or last follow-up alive whichever occurs first. Kaplan-Meier method is used for estimation. Patients alive at last contact are censored.
- Toxic Death [ Time Frame: During and after completion of study treatment up to 1 year after enrollment. ]The number of patients who experience death that is considered to be primarily attributable to complications of treatment.
- Non-hematological Toxicity Associated With Chemotherapy: Grade 3 or Higher During Protocol Therapy [ Time Frame: During protocol therapy up to 1 year after enrollment. ]Number of Participants with Nonhematological Toxicity Associated With Chemotherapy: Grade 3 or Higher During Protocol Therapy.
