Outline

This is a pilot, multicenter study. All patients receive common induction, consolidation, re-induction, and intensification chemotherapy. Patients are stratified to maintenance therapy according to site of extramedullary relapse (CNS vs testicular).

  • Induction therapy (weeks 1-4): Patients receive vincristine IV on days 1, 8, 15, and 22; oral dexamethasone twice daily on days 1-28; daunorubicin* IV over 15 minutes on days 1, 8, and 15; and intrathecal triple therapy** (ITT) comprising methotrexate, hydrocortisone, and cytarabine on days 1, 8, 15, and 22.

     [Note: *The total dose of anthracyclines on this study is capped at 450 mg/m2. Once this dose is reached, all subsequent doses of daunorubicin are omitted.]

     [Note: **Patients with isolated testicular relapse receive ITT on day 1 only.]

    In addition to the above, patients with isolated testicular relapse also receive high-dose methotrexate IV continuously over 24 hours on day -14. Patients with clinical signs of disease at the end of induction undergo testicular biopsy.

    Patients with CNS disease who do not achieve CNS remission after induction therapy receive additional ITT as above on days 29 and 36.

  • Consolidation therapy (weeks 5-10): Patients receive high-dose cytarabine IV over 3 hours twice daily on days 1-2 and 22-23 and pegaspargase intramuscularly (IM) on days 2 and 23. Patients also receive filgrastim (G-CSF) subcutaneously (SC) beginning on days 3 and 24 and continuing until blood counts recover.

    Patients with isolated testicular relapse with positive biopsy results at the end of induction undergo testicular radiotherapy once daily for a total of 12 fractions during consolidation therapy.

  • Intensification I (weeks 11-22): Patients receive high-dose methotrexate with leucovorin calcium rescue IV over 24 hours on days 1, 22, 43, and 64 and oral mercaptopurine once daily on days 2-6, 23-27, 44-48, and 65-69. Patients also receive etoposide IV over 1 hour and cyclophosphomide IV over 15-30 minutes on days 8, 29, 50, and 71. Patients receive ITT* on days 15, 36, 57, and 78.

     [Note: *Patients with isolated testicular relapse receive ITT on days 36 and 78 only.]

  • Reinduction therapy (weeks 23-26): Patients receive vincristine IV on days 1, 8, 15, and 22; oral dexamethasone twice daily on days 1-28 (for patients < 13 years of age) OR twice daily on days 1-7 and 15-21 (for patients ≥ 13 years of age); and daunorubicin IV over 15 minutes on days 1, 8, and 15.
  • Intensification II (weeks 27-50): Patients receive high-dose cytarabine IV over 3 hours twice daily on days 1-2, 43-44, 85-86, and 127-128; pegaspargase IM on days 2, 44, 86, and 128; ITT* on days 22, 64, 106, and 148; high-dose methotrexate IV continuously over 24 hours on days 29, 71, 113, and 155; oral mercaptopurine on days 30-34, 72-76, 114-118, and 156-160; and etoposide IV over 1 hour and cyclophosphamide IV over 15-30 minutes on days 36, 78, 120, and 162. Patients also receive G-CSF SC beginning on days 3, 45, 87, and 129 and continuing until blood counts recover.

     [Note: *Patients with isolated testicular relapse receive ITT on days 22 and 106 only.]

  • Chemotherapy and radiotherapy (weeks 51-54): Patients receive dexamethasone orally or IV twice daily on days 1-21 (for patients < 13 years of age) OR on days 1-7 and 15-21 (for patients ≥ 13 years of age). Patients also receive vincristine IV on days 1, 8, and 15 and pegaspargase IM on days 1 and 15.

    Patients with isolated CNS relapse also undergo cranial radiotherapy once daily, 5 days a week, for a total of 8 fractions.

  • Maintenance therapy for isolated CNS relapse: (weeks 55-104): Patients receive dexamethasone orally or IV twice daily on days 1-5; oral mercaptopurine once daily on days 1-42; methotrexate IM on days 1, 8, 15, 22, 29, and 36; and vincristine IV and cyclophosphomide IV over 1 hour on days 43, 50, 57, and 64. Treatment repeats every 10 weeks for 5 courses.
  • Maintenance therapy for isolated testicular relapse:
    • (Weeks 55-74): Patients receive ITT on day 1 and dexamethasone, mercaptopurine, methotrexate, vincristine, and cyclophosphomide as in maintenance therapy for isolated CNS relapse. Treatment repeats every 10 weeks for 2 courses.
    • (Weeks 75-106): Patients receive vincristine IV on day 1; dexamethasone orally or IV on days 1-5; oral mercaptopurine on days 1-28; and methotrexate IM on days 1, 8, 15, and 22. Treatment repeats every 28 days for 8 courses. Patients also receive ITT on day 1 every 12 weeks for 3 doses.

Patients with combined testicular and CNS relapse receive high-dose methotrexate IV continuously over 24 hours on day -14 in addition to the same chemotherapy and radiotherapy administered during the induction, consolidation, intensification I, reinduction, intensification II, and maintenance phases of therapy as isolated CNS relapse patients.

All patients undergo neuropsychological assessment within 3 months after completion of induction therapy (before cranial radiotherapy) and at 2 years after completion of treatment.

Patients are followed for survival.

Note: The purpose of most clinical trials listed in this database is to test new cancer treatments, or new methods of diagnosing, screening, or preventing cancer. Because all potentially harmful side effects are not known before a trial is conducted, dose and schedule modifications may be required for participants if they develop side effects from the treatment or test. The therapy or test described in this clinical trial is intended for use by clinical oncologists in carefully structured settings, and may not prove to be more effective than standard treatment. A responsible investigator associated with this clinical trial should be consulted before using this protocol.
