August 16, 2016 updated by: Chuanying Zhu, Xinhua Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine

Phase 2 Study of Radiation Therapy and Combination Chemotherapy Following Surgery in Treating Children With Newly Diagnosed Medulloblastoma

This phase II trial is studying giving radiation therapy together with combination chemotherapy after surgery to see how well it works in treating children with newly diagnosed medulloblastoma.

Detailed Description

OUTLINE:

Adjuvant induction chemoradiotherapy: Beginning within 28 days after prior resection, patients undergo radiotherapy to the craniospinal axis 5 days a week for 4 weeks and then conformal radiotherapy to the tumor bed 5 days a week for 2 weeks. Beginning 1 week after the initiation of radiotherapy, Temozolomide is applied to these patients as a chemotherapy drug with a dosage of 75mg/m2, daily. The chemotherapy and radiation are combined as temozolomide is taken 1 hour prior to every fraction of radiotherapy.

Maintenance chemotherapy: Beginning 4 weeks after the completion of induction chemoradiotherapy, patients receive eight 4-week cycles of temozolomide (dosage: the 1st cycle, 150mg/m2, daily × 5 days, 4 weeks a cycle; the 2-8th cycle, 200mg/m2, daily × 5 days, 4 weeks a cycle and repeated again).

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

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Study Treatment
All subjects will undergo routine surgical staging of their tumor. Treatment must begin within 28 days of surgery. Craniospinal Radiation therapy will last for 6 weeks, five days per week. Once a week during radiation, subjects will also be treated with Temozolomide. Temozolomide is applied to these patients as a chemotherapy drug with a dosage of 75mg/m2, daily. The chemotherapy and radiation therapy are combined as Temozolomide is taken 1 hour prior to every fraction of radiotherapy. In 4 weeks after the completion of radiotherapy, temozolomide is given for 8 cycles.
Drug: Temozolomide
Temozolomide is applied to these patients as a chemotherapy drug with a dosage of 75mg/m2, daily. The chemotherapy and radiation are combined as temozolomide is taken 1 hour prior to every fraction of radiotherapy. In 4 weeks after the completion of radiotherapy, temozolomide is given for 8 cycles (dosage: the 1st cycle, 150mg/m2, daily × 5 days, 4 weeks a cycle; the 2-8th cycle, 200mg/m2, daily × 5 days, 4 weeks a cycle and repeated again).
Other Names:
  • brand names Temodar and Temodal and Temcad
Radiation: Craniospinal Radiation
Craniospinal radiation will begin within 28 days of surgery. Craniospinal Radiation therapy will last for 6 weeks, five days per week. Once a week during radiation, subjects will also be treated with chemotherapy (Temozolomide).
