  Purpose

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as dactinomycin, cyclophosphamide, vincristine, and topotecan, use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. It is not yet known which combination chemotherapy regimen is more effective in treating rhabdomyosarcoma.

PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is comparing two different combination chemotherapy regimens to see how well each works in treating patients with previously untreated rhabdomyosarcoma or sarcoma.


Condition Intervention Phase
Sarcoma
 Biological: dactinomycin
Biological: filgrastim
Biological: sargramostim
Drug: cyclophosphamide
Drug: topotecan hydrochloride
Drug: vincristine sulfate
Procedure: surgical procedure
Radiation: radiation therapy
 Phase 3

Study Type: Interventional
Study Design: Allocation: Randomized
Primary Purpose: Treatment
Official Title: Randomized Study of Vincristine, Actinomycin-D, and Cyclophosphamide (VAC) Versus VAC Alternating With Vincristine, Topotecan and Cyclophosphamide for Patients With Intermediate-Risk Rhabdomyosarcoma

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Early response rate (ERR) (i.e., complete response/partial response [CR/PR]) at end of therapy & at 3, 5, and 10 yrs after completion of therapy [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Failure-free survival (FFS) at end of therapy & at 3, 5, and 10 yrs after completion of therapy [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Survival at end of therapy & at 3, 5, and 10 yrs after completion of therapy [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Acute and late effects (e.g., sterility, second malignancy, radiation effects, and growth effects) of these regimens continuously for up to 10 years [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Rate of second-look surgery in patients with bulk residual tumor at diagnosis and those who become "tumor free" or have microscopic tumor only and are treated with reduced dose radiation at the end of therapy [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Rate of local failure in selected patients with bulk residual tumors at diagnosis who undergo second-look resection and response-adjusted radiotherapy dose reduction ongoing for up to 10 years [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Preoperative radiotherapy followed by second-look surgery indicated for patients who respond poorly to induction chemotherapy [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Define and compare clinical features (demographics such as age, disease site and stage, node involvement, or outcome) of patient subgroups with alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma whose tumors carry t(2;13), t(1;13) or neither transloc. at end of the study [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • Estimation of ERR, FFS, and survival of patients with alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma with t(2;13), t(1;13), or neither transloc. by pos. or neg. RTPCR on peripheral blood and marrow spec. at diagnosis and at end of tx [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Estimated Enrollment: 518
Study Start Date: September 2002
Primary Completion Date: October 2007 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
