NCT00072384

Brief Summary

Phase III trial to determine the effectiveness of combining systemic chemotherapy and subtenon carboplatin with ophthalmic therapy in treating children who have intraocular retinoblastoma. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as vincristine, carboplatin, and etoposide, work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. It is not yet known whether systemic chemotherapy and subtenon (under the conjunctiva of the eye) carboplatin combined with ophthalmic therapy is effective in treating intraocular (within the eyeball) retinoblastoma.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Group D Eyes - Treatment Failure Within One Year

    Each Group D eye will be classified as experiencing failure within one year after start of treatment: yes or no. The method of Rosner et al. (Biometrics v. 38, 105-114, 1982) will be used to model possible dependence between eyes from the same patient. The point estimate of the probability of treatment failure is reported as the "Mean" measure type.

    One year

  • Group C Eyes - Treatment Failure Within One Year

    Each Group C eye will be classified as experiencing failure within one year after start of treatment: yes or no. The method of Rosner et al. (Biometrics v. 38, 105-114, 1982) will be used to model possible dependence between eyes from the same patient. The point estimate of the probability of treatment failure is reported as the "Mean" measure type.

    One year

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • Event-free Survival (EFS)

    One year after study enrollment

  • Toxicity Associated With Chemotherapy

    From date of enrollment until termination of protocol therapy assessed up to 72 weeks

  • Patterns of Failure for Group C and Group D in Terms of Vitreous vs Patterns of Failure for Group C and Group D in Terms of Vitreous vs Retinal vs Both as Sites of Recurrence

    From the date of enrollment assessed up to 36 months

  • Patterns of Treatment Failure vs. no Treatment Failure for Group C Eyes and Group D Eyes According to Initial Sites of Involvement

    From the date of enrollment assessed up to 12 months

Study Arms (1)

Treatment (chemotherapy, surgery)

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients receive liposomal vincristine sulfate IV over 1 minute on day 1 and carboplatin IV over 1 hour and etoposide IV over 1 hour on days 1 and 2. Patients also receive filgrastim (G-CSF) subcutaneously daily beginning on day 3 and continuing until blood counts recover. Patients receive subtenon carboplatin to each group C or D eye on day 0 or 1prior of courses 2-4 only. Treatment repeats every 28 days for 6 courses in the absence of occurrence of extraocular retinoblastoma or a second malignancy. Beginning with course 3 of systemic chemotherapy, patients undergo local ophthalmic therapy comprising local laser surgery and/or cryosurgery on day 1.

Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsChild (0-17)

You may qualify if:

  • Diagnosis of bilateral retinoblastoma with at least 1 eye group C or D intraocular retinoblastoma by ophthalmologic examination, defined by the International Classification System for Intraocular Retinoblastoma as the following:
  • Group C: Discrete localized disease with minimal subretinal and/or vitreous seeding
  • Subretinal fluid, without prior or concurrent seeding, involving ≤ one quarter of the retina
  • Local fine vitreous seeding may be present close to discrete tumor
  • Local subretinal seeding \< 3 mm from tumor
  • Group D: Diffuse disease with significant vitreous and/or subretinal seeding
  • Tumor(s) may be massive or diffuse
  • Subretinal fluid, without prior or concurrent seeding, involving up to total retinal detachment
  • Diffuse or massive vitreous disease may include "greasy" seeds or avascular tumor masses
  • Diffuse subretinal seeding may include subretinal plaques or tumor nodules
  • Prior enucleation of 1 eye allowed provided the remaining eye is group C or D
  • No tumor present on histologic examination at the cut end of the optic nerve on any eye enucleated prior to study entry
  • Evidence of choroidal and/or optic nerve invasion past the lumina cribrosa is allowed
  • No extraocular retinoblastoma clinically or by MRI of brain and orbits with and without gadolinium or CT scan with and without contrast of brain and orbits
  • No evidence of systemic metastases by bone marrow, lumbar puncture, bone scan, and/or any other additional test
  • +22 more criteria
