Treatment Outcome and Quality of Life in Patients With Pediatric Extra-Cranial Germ Cell Tumors Previously Treated on Clinical Trial CCLG-GC-1979-01 or CCLG-GC-1989-01

August 9, 2013 updated by: Children's Cancer and Leukaemia Group

Cross-Sectional Evaluation of Outcome Following Extra-Cranial Germ Cell Tumors Treated According to UKCCSG GC 7901 (GC I) and GC 8901 (GC II) Protocols

RATIONALE: Treatment for pediatric extracranial germ cell tumors may cause side effects and secondary cancers later in life. A study that evaluates patients after receiving combination chemotherapy or surgery may help doctors understand the side effects and secondary cancers that occur later in life.

PURPOSE: This study is looking at treatment outcome and quality of life in patients with pediatric extracranial germ cell tumors previously treated on clinical trial CCLG-GC-1979-01 or CCLG-GC-1989-01.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine the late effects of treatment and the quality-of-life of patients with germ cell tumors (GCT) previously treated on clinical trial CCLG-GC-1979-01 or CCLG-GC-1989-01.
  • Evaluate the late effects of carboplatin, etoposide, and bleomycin in patients treated on clinical trial CCLG-GC-1989-01.
  • Determine the toxicity of bleomycin and a combination of either cisplatin and vinblastine, etoposide and cisplatin, or carboplatin and etoposide in patients treated on clinical trial CCLG-GC-1979-01.
  • Evaluate tumor-associated/surgical morbidity (bladder, bowel, and lower limb function) in patients with malignant sacrococcygeal tumors treated in these clinical trials.
  • Evaluate tumor-associated/surgical morbidity (sexual function/fertility) in patients with malignant gonadal or pelvic GCTs.
  • Evaluate tumor-associated/surgical morbidity (respiratory function) in patients with thoracic GCTs.
  • Develop a methodology and recommendations for the prospective late evaluation of patients treated on future extracranial GCT clinical trials and those included in this study.
  • Inform clinicians about the late effects of treatment of malignant GCTs and advise them on what long-term care these patients require.

OUTLINE: This is a cohort, multicenter study.

Patients complete questionnaires about ototoxicity, bladder and bowel dysfunction, and sexual function and fertility as appropriate. They also complete a health-related quality-of-life questionnaire over 20 minutes.

Treating physicians complete a lower-limb and neurologic dysfunction questionnaire. Data from myelodysplasia, second malignancy, ototoxicity, nephrotoxicity, and pulmonary toxicity assessments are collected from the patient's treating physician.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 60 patients will be accrued for this study.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure

Nephrotoxicity as measured by serum magnesium, calcium, and creatinine and glomerular filtration rate in patients previously treated with cisplatin or carboplatin
Myelodysplasia and second malignancies in patients previously treated with etoposide
Pulmonary toxicity as measured by lung function test and respiratory symptom questionnaire in patients previously treated with bleomycin
Bladder and bowel dysfunction, sexual function, and fertility as measured by patient-completed questionnaires and lower limb and neurological dysfunction as measured by clinician-completed questionnaires in patients with pelvic or sacrococcygeal tumors
Quality of life (QOL) as measured by pediatric cancer quality-of-life inventory or Short Form 36 questionnaires
