Comparison of Chemotherapy Regimens in Treating Children With Relapsed or Progressive Rhabdomyosarcoma

Brief Summary
Randomized phase II trial to compare the effectiveness of different combination chemotherapy regimens in treating children who have rhabdomyosarcoma. Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more tumor cells

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (2)

Up to 6 years
Secondary Outcomes (4)
Incidence of toxicities associated with the two administration schedules of irinotecan in combination with vincristine, graded according to the NCI CTC v 2.0 (unfavorable risk patients)
Up to 6 years
Blood metabolite SN-38 levels (unfavorable risk patients)
Up to 6 years
Progression-free survival
Up to 6 years
Survival
Up to 6 years
Study Arms (2)
Arm I
EXPERIMENTALPatients receive vincristine IV on days 1 and 8 and irinotecan IV over 1 hour on days 1-5 and 8-12. Treatment repeats every 21 days for 2 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Arm II
EXPERIMENTALPatients receive vincristine IV on days 1 and 8 and irinotecan IV over 1 hour on days 1-5. Treatment repeats every 21 days for 2 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Histologically confirmed rhabdomyosarcoma, undifferentiated sarcoma, or ectomesenchymoma
- First relapse or first occurrence of disease progression
- Unfavorable-risk patients eligible for study window therapy with irinotecan and vincristine meeting the following criteria:
- Unfavorable risk defined by any of the following:
- Embryonal histology with stage I or group I at initial diagnosis with distant recurrence or with local or regional recurrence after prior cyclophosphamide
- Embryonal histology with initial stage II, III, or IV or group II, III, or IV with any relapse pattern
- Alveolar histology with any stage or group at initial diagnosis
- At least unidimensionally measurable disease
- No prior irinotecan
- Bone marrow must not be only site of relapse
- Unfavorable-risk patients ineligible for study window therapy with irinotecan meeting the following criteria:
- Either no measurable disease OR patient received prior irinotecan
- Bone marrow as only site of relapse allowed
- Favorable-risk patients meeting the following criteria:
- Initial botryoid histology (any stage, any group, or any pattern of relapse)
- +39 more criteria
