Brief description of study

What is the purpose of this study?
This phase II trial studies how well combination chemotherapy works in treating patients withwly diagnosed stage II-IV diffuse anaplastic Wilms tumors (DAWT) or favorable histology Wilms tumors (FHWT) that have come back (relapsed). Drugs used in chemotherapy regimens suchH-3 (vincristine, doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide, carboplatin, etoposide, and irinotecan)d ICE/Cyclo/Topo (ifosfamide, carboplatin, etoposide, cyclophosphamide, and topotecan) workdifferent ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stoppinghem from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. This trial may help doctors find out what effects, good and/or bad, regimen UH-3 has on patients with newly diagnosed DAWT anddard risk relapsed FHWT (those treated with only 2 drugs for the initial WT) and regimenCE/Cyclo/Topo has on patients with high and very high risk relapsed FHWT (those treated with 3 or more drugs for the initial WT).

THIS STUDY IS ENROLLING BY INVITATION ONLY - Consistent with most oncology trials, patients are not actively “recruited,” but are screened by their physician for appropriate clinical trial(s) at the time of their routine clinic visit. Occasionally, a patient may be a self-referral or physician referral, but are still screened for appropriate clinical trials at the time of their routine clinic visit. PI and staff may send copies of relevant consent forms to these patients to look over prior to actually consenting or enrolling them. This may take place at the patient's visit at which the consent is presented or the patient's next visit to the outpatient hematology/oncology clinic.

Detailed description of study

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To evaluate whether the addition of vincristine/irinotecan to cyclophosphamide/boplatin/etoposide alternating with vincristine/doxorubicin/cyclophosphamide improves thevent-free survival (EFS) of patients with newly diagnosed stage 4 diffuse anaplastic Wilmsumor (DAWT) as compared to historical controls.
II. To evaluate whether the addition of vincristine/irinotecan toyclophosphamide/carboplatin/etoposide alternating with vincristine/doxorubicin/cyclophosphamide improves the EFS of patients with standard-riskd favorable histology Wilms tumor (SRrFHWT) as compared to historical controls.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To evaluate whether the addition of vincristine/irinotecan toyclophosphamide/carboplatin/etoposide alternating with vincristine/doxorubicin/cyclophosphamide improves the overall survival (OS) of patients withwly diagnosed stage 4 DAWT as compared to historical controls.
II. To evaluate whether the addition of vincristine/irinotecan toyclophosphamide/carboplatin/etoposide alternating with vincristine/doxorubicin/cyclophosphamide improves the OS of patients with SRrFHWT as comparedhistorical controls.
III. To evaluate whether the addition of vincristine/irinotecan toyclophosphamide/carboplatin/etoposide alternating with vincristine/doxorubicin/cyclophosphamide improves the EFS and OS of patients with newly diagnosed stage 2 and 3 DAWT as compared to historical controls.
IV. To establish EFS and OS for high-risk (HRrFHWT) and very high risk (VHRrFHWT) relapsedvorable histology Wilms tumor treated with ifosfamide/carboplatin/etoposide alternating with cyclophosphamide/ topotecan.
EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:
I. To describe renal toxicity of ifosfamide/carboplatin/etoposide in HRrFHWT and VHRrFHWTusing conventional and novel biomarkers of renal toxicity (urine NGAL, cystatin Cd Kim1) in the context of the chemotherapy regimens used on this study.
II. To collect and bank serial blood and urine samples in patients with newly diagnosed DAWTd FHWT and tumor tissue in patients with relapsed FHWT, for future analysis.
III. To assess the impact of p53 gene and protein expression on outcome for patients withwly diagnosed DAWT.
IV. To determine EFS/OS in the subsets of patients with newly diagnosed DAWT or relapsed FWHT who undergo gross total resection at all disease sites at diagnosis or after neoadjuvanthemotherapy.
V. To describe the rate of regional lymph node sampling at the time of nephrectomy with the use of a pre-operative surgical checklist for patients with newly diagnosed DAWT.
VI. To determine the feasibility of intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) with central quality assurance (QA) monitoring to reduce radiation induced toxicity to the heart, thyroid, breast and solitary kidney for children with lung and liver metastases (part of anverarching aim in this study and across frontline favorable histology Wilms tumor studies).

What will happen during the study?
  • Patients are assigned to 1 of 2 arms.

  • CYCLES 2, 6, 9, 12, AND 14: Patients receive carboplatin IV over 15-60 minutes on day 1. Patients also receive cyclophosphamide IV over 15-30 minutes and etoposide IV over 1-2 hoursdays 1-4. Treatment repeats every 21 days during cycles 2, 6, 9, 12, and 14 in the absencedisease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
  • CYCLES 3, 4, 8, AND 11: Patients receive vincristine IV via minibag per institutional policydays 1 and 8 and irinotecan IV over 90 minutes on days 1-5. Treatment repeats every 21 days during cycles 3, 4, 8, and 11 in the absence of disease progression or unacceptabley.
  • Patients undergo radiation therapy (RT) at week 7 of cycle 3 as clinically indicated. Patients undergo a computed tomography (CT) scan, a positron emission tomography (PET) scan,hest x-ray, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), an abdominal ultrasound, and/or a bone scanhroughout the trial. Patients may also undergo blood specimen collection and biopsyhroughout the trial.

Treatment repeats every 21 days during cycles 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, and 9 in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
  • CYCLES 3, 6, 8, AND 10: Patients receive cyclophosphamide IV over 15-30 minutes and topotecanV over 30 minutes on days 1-5. Treatment repeats every 21 days during cycles 3, 6, 8, and 10he absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
  • Patients undergo surgery and/or RT during cycles 4, 7, and 10 as clinically indicated. Patients undergo a CT scan, a PET scan, a chest x-ray, MRI, an abdominal ultrasound, and/or a bone scan throughout the trial. Patients may also undergo blood specimen collection and biopsy throughout the trial.
