Outline

This is a multicenter, randomized study. Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.

  • Induction therapy 1 (weeks 1-5):
    • Arm I: Patients receive low-dose vincristine IV on days 1, 8, 15, and 22; oral prednisone 3 times daily on days 1-28; doxorubicin hydrochloride IV over 15 minutes on day 1; pegaspargase intramuscularly (IM) on days 2, 8, 15, and 22; cytarabine intrathecally (IT) on day 1; and methotrexate IT* on days 15 and 29.


    • Arm II : Patients receive high-dose vincristine IV on days 1, 8, 15, and 22 and prednisone, doxorubicin hydrochloride, pegaspargase, cytarabine, and methotrexate* as in arm I.


     [Note: *CNS-positive patients do not receive methotrexate IT. In both arms, CNS-positive patients receive intrathecal triple therapy (ITT) comprising methotrexate IT, hydrocortisone IT, and cytarabine IT on days 1, 8, 15, 22, and 29. CNS-positive patients not achieving remission after induction therapy 1 receive one additional dose of ITT on day 36.]

    Patients in both arms then proceed to induction therapy 2**.

     [Note: **Patients who are CNS-positive at relapse receive induction therapy 3 BEFORE induction therapy 2.]



  • Induction therapy 2 (weeks 6-10 or 7-11): Once blood counts recover, all patients receive etoposide phosphate IV over ≥ 1 hour and cyclophosphamide IV over 1 hour on days 1-5; high-dose methotrexate IV continuously over 24 hours on day 22; leucovorin calcium IV or orally beginning 42 hours after start of high-dose methotrexate and continuing every 6 hours for at least 3 doses; and methotrexate IT* on days 1 and 22. Patients also receive filgrastim (G-CSF) IV or subcutaneously (SC) beginning on day 6 and continuing until blood counts recover.

     [Note: *CNS-positive patients do not receive methotrexate IT. CNS-positive patients receive ITT on days 1 and 22.]

    Patients with testicular-relapse with persistent testicular disease at the end of induction therapy 1 undergo testicular radiotherapy once daily, 5 days a week, for 12 days during induction therapy 2**.

     [Note: **Radiotherapy should be completed before beginning high-dose methotrexate (week 9) chemotherapy.]

    All patients then proceed to induction therapy 3.



  • Induction therapy 3 (weeks 11-15 or 12-16): All patients receive high-dose cytarabine IV over 3 hours on days 1, 2, 8, and 9, and asparaginase IM on days 2 and 9. Patients also receive G-CSF IV or SC beginning on day 10 and continuing until blood counts recover.

    Patients with a suitable HLA-matched related donor are removed from study and proceed to stem cell transplantation. Patients without a suitable HLA-matched related donor proceed to intensification therapy 1 (as per their randomized arm in induction therapy 1).



  • Intensification therapy 1 (weeks 16-27 or 17-28):
    • Arm I: Patients receive low-dose vincristine IV and high-dose methotrexate IV continuously over 24 hours on day 1; leucovorin calcium IV or orally beginning 42 hours after start of high-dose methotrexate and continuing every 6 hours for at least 3 doses; oral mercaptopurine once daily on days 2-6; etoposide phosphate IV over ≥ 1 hour and cyclophosphamide IV over 1 hour on day 8; and methotrexate IT* on day 15. Treatment repeats every 21 days for 4 courses (with the exception of IT methotrexate which repeats for only 3 courses).


    • Arm II: Patients receive high-dose vincristine IV on day 1 and high-dose methotrexate, leucovorin calcium, mercaptopurine, etoposide phosphate, cyclophosphamide, and methotrexate IT* as in arm I.


     [Note: *CNS-positive patients do not receive methotrexate IT. CNS-positive patients receive ITT on day 15. ITT repeats every 3 weeks for 3 courses.]

    Patients in both arms then proceed to reinduction therapy (as per their randomized arm in induction therapy 1).



  • Reinduction therapy (weeks 28-32 or 29-33):
    • Arm I: Patients receive low-dose vincristine IV and doxorubicin hydrochloride IV over 15 minutes on days 1, 8, and 15, oral dexamethasone twice daily on days 1-7 and 15-21, pegaspargase IM on days 2 and 15, and methotrexate IT* on days 1 and 28.


    • Arm II: Patients receive high-dose vincristine IV on days 1, 8, and 15 and doxorubicin hydrochloride, dexamethasone, pegaspargase, and methotrexate IT* as in arm I.


     [Note: *CNS-positive patients do not receive methotrexate IT. CNS-positive patients receive ITT on days 1 and 28.]

    Patients in both arms then proceed to intensification therapy 2 (as per their randomized arm in induction therapy 1).



  • Intensification therapy 2 (weeks 33-56 or 34-57):
    • Arm I: Once blood counts recover, patients receive high-dose cytarabine IV over 3 hours on days 1 and 2; pegaspargase IM on day 2; low-dose vincristine IV on days 22 and 29; high-dose methotrexate IV on day 22; leucovorin calcium IV or orally beginning 42 hours after start of high-dose methotrexate and continuing every 6 hours for at least 3 doses; oral mercaptopurine once daily on days 23-27; etoposide phosphate IV over ≥ 1 hour and cyclophosphamide IV over 1 hour on day 29; and methotrexate IT* on day 36. Patients also receive G-CSF IV or SC beginning on day 3 and continuing until blood counts recover. Treatment repeats every 42 days for 4 courses (with the exception of IT methotrexate which only repeats for 3 courses).


    • Arm II: Patients receive high-dose cytarabine, high-dose methotrexate, leucovorin calcium, pegaspargase, mercaptopurine, etoposide phosphate, cyclophosphamide, methotrexate IT*, and G-CSF as in arm I. Patients also receive high-dose vincristine IV on days 22 and 29.


     [Note: *CNS-positive patients do not receive methotrexate IT. CNS-positive patients receive ITT on day 36. Treatment repeats every 6 weeks for 3 courses.]

    Patients in both arms then proceed to maintenance therapy (as per their randomized arm in induction therapy 1).



  • Maintenance therapy (week 57-106 or 58-107):
    • Arm I: Patients receive methotrexate IT on day 1* and then orally on days 8, 15, 22, 29, and 36; oral mercaptopurine once daily on days 1-42; oral dexamethasone twice daily on days 1-5; and low-dose vincristine IV and cyclophosphamide IV over 1 hour on days 43, 50, 57, and 64. Treatment repeats every 70 days for 5 courses.


    • Arm II: Patients receive methotrexate*, mercaptopurine, dexamethasone, and cyclophosphamide as in arm I. Patients also receive high-dose vincristine IV on days 43, 50, 57, and 64.


     [Note: *CNS-positive patients receive methotrexate IT on day 1, instead of oral methotrexate.]

    Beginning in week 1 of the first maintenance therapy course, patients with CNS relapse undergo cranial radiotherapy once daily, 5 days a week, for 10 days. Patients with CNS relapse do not receive any IT therapy during maintenance therapy.



After completion of study therapy, patients are followed periodically for 5 years.

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.
