Intrathecal and Systemic Chemotherapy Combined With Radiation Therapy in Treating Young Patients With Newly Diagnosed Central Nervous System Atypical Teratoid/Rhabdoid Tumors
This study is ongoing, but not recruiting participants.
First Received: June 10, 2004   Last Updated: April 21, 2009   History of Changes
Sponsor: Dana-Farber Cancer Institute
Collaborator: National Cancer Institute (NCI)
Information provided by: National Cancer Institute (NCI)
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00084838
  Purpose

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. Giving more than one chemotherapy drug with radiation therapy may kill more tumor cells.

PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving intrathecal and systemic combination chemotherapy together with radiation therapy works in treating young patients with newly diagnosed central nervous system (CNS) atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumors.
