Brief Summary
This phase II trial studies how well combination chemotherapy works in treating younger patients with newly diagnosed, non-metastatic desmoplastic medulloblastoma. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as vincristine sulfate, cyclophosphamide, methotrexate, etoposide, and carboplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (5)
Progression-free Survival (PFS)
Progression-free survival (PFS) is defined as the time interval from diagnosis to the earliest of disease progression/recurrence or death from any cause, or to the date of last follow-up for patients without events. PFS was estimated using the method of Kaplan and Meier. 2-year estimates are reported with 95% CI's.
2 years from diagnosis
Overall Survival (OS)
Overall Survival (OS) is defined as the time from diagnosis to death from any cause, or to the date of last follow-up for survivors. OS was estimated using the method of Kaplan and Meier. 2-year estimates are reported with 95% CI's, as the data are not mature to 72 months.
Assessed up to 72 months, reported at 2 years from diagnosis
Event-free Survival (EFS)
Event-free survival (EFS) is defined as the time from diagnosis to the earliest of disease progression/recurrence, second malignancy or death from any cause, or to the date of last follow-up for patients without events. EFS was estimated using the method of Kaplan and Meier. 2-year estimates are reported with 95% CI's.
2 years from diagnosis
Percentage of Patients With Responses at 189 Days
The percentage of patients with complete response (CR) at the end of induction (\~189 days) was reported and presented with the associated exact 95% confidence interval.
189 days from start of treatment
Percentage of Patients With Responses at 273 Days
The percentage of patients with complete response (CR) at the end of therapy (\~273 days) was reported and presented with the associated exact 95% confidence interval.
273 days from start of treatment
Other Outcomes (3)
Feasibility of Rapid Central Pathology Screening Review Defined as Success Rate of Timely Central Pathology Review Based on the Expectation That at Least 95% of the Cases Will be Reviewed Within 10 Days
Up to 10 days
Molecular Profile
Up to 2 years
Change in Neurocognitive and Adaptive Functioning Assessed Using Full Scale IQ Score (FSIQ) and General Adaptive Composite Score (GAC)
Baseline to up to 60 months
Study Arms (1)
Treatment (combination chemotherapy)
EXPERIMENTALINDUCTION THERAPY: Patients receive vincristine sulfate IV over 1 minute or infused via minibag on days 1, 15, and 29; cyclophosphamide IV over 1 hour on days 1-3; methotrexate IV over 24 hours on days 15 and 29; etoposide IV over 60-120 minutes on days 43-45; and carboplatin IV over 1 hour on days 43-45. Treatment repeats every 63 days for 3 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. CONTINUATION THERAPY: Patients receive vincristine sulfate IV over 1 minute or infused via minibag on day 1, cyclophosphamide IV over 1 hour on days 1-3, etoposide IV over 60-120 minutes on days 21-23, and carboplatin IV over 1 hour on days 21-23. Treatment repeats every 42 days for 2 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Patients must be newly diagnosed and have a confirmed histologic diagnosis of nodular desmoplastic (ND) medulloblastoma or medulloblastoma with extensive nodularity (MBEN) from rapid central pathology screening review; please note: patients with Gorlin syndrome are eligible
- Patient must have negative lumbar cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) cytology (lumbar CSF must be obtained unless medically contraindicated); CSF cytology for staging should be performed preferably no sooner than 14 days post operatively to avoid false positive CSF, ideally, CSF should be obtained between day 14 and day 21 to allow for final staging status before enrollment onto the study; Note: patients with positive CSF cytology obtained prior to 14 days after surgery may have cytology repeated to determine eligibility and final CSF status
- Patients must have:
- Pre-operative cranial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) (recommended with gadolinium) or pre-operative computed tomography (CT) (recommended with contrast)
- Post-operative cranial MRI with and without gadolinium within 72 hours of surgery
- Spinal MRI pre-op with and without gadolinium or post-op with and without gadolinium preferably within 72 hours of surgery
- Patients must be enrolled on study within 31 days of definitive surgical resection at which time tissue is acquired to determine a diagnosis; patients must be enrolled before treatment begins; the date protocol therapy is projected to start must be no later than five (5) calendar days after the date of study enrollment; patients who are started on protocol therapy on a Phase II study prior to study enrollment will be considered ineligible
- Patients must have a performance status corresponding to Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) scores of 0, 1 or 2; use Lansky for patients =\< 16 years of age
- Patients must have a life expectancy of \>= 8 weeks
- Patients who are receiving dexamethasone must be on a stable dose for at least 1 week prior to study entry
- Peripheral absolute neutrophil count (ANC) \>= 1000/uL
- Platelet count \>= 100,000/uL (transfusion independent)
- Hemoglobin \>= 10.0 g/dL (may receive red blood cell \[RBC\] transfusions)
- Creatinine clearance or radioisotope glomerular filtration rate (GFR) \>= 70 mL/min/1.73 m\^2 or a serum creatinine based on age/gender as follows:
- month to \< 6 months: 0.4 mg/dL
- +8 more criteria
You may not qualify if:
- Patients with metastatic disease by either MRI evaluation (brain and spine) or lumbar CSF cytology are not eligible
- Patients must not have received any prior tumor-directed therapy other than surgical intervention and corticosteroids
