Trial Summary

What is the purpose of this trial?

This phase III trial studies using risk factors in determining treatment for children with favorable tissue (histology) Wilms tumors (FHWT). Wilms Tumor is the most common type of kidney cancer in children, and FHWT is the most common subtype. Previous large clinical trials have established treatment plans that are likely to cure most children with FHWT, however some children still have their cancer come back (called relapse) and not all survive. Previous research has identified features of FHWT that are associated with higher or lower risks of relapse. The term "risk" refers to the chance of the cancer coming back after treatment. Using results of tumor histology tests, biology tests, and response to therapy may be able to improve treatment for children with FHWT.

Will I have to stop taking my current medications?

The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. It's best to discuss your current medications with the trial team to get specific guidance.

What data supports the effectiveness of the drug carboplatin in treating Wilms tumor?

Research shows that carboplatin, when used as a single-dose treatment in children with untreated stage IV Wilms' tumor, resulted in a 78% partial response rate and a 62% median tumor volume reduction, indicating its effectiveness in this setting. ^{1 2 3 4 5}

What safety data exists for treatments like Carboplatin, Dactinomycin, Irinotecan, Vincristine, and Patient Observation in Wilms Tumor?

Vincristine and irinotecan have been used in Wilms tumor treatments with main side effects being blood-related issues and diarrhea, but without excessive toxicity. Carboplatin, when used in high doses, can cause blood-related side effects and affect kidney function, but no permanent kidney damage was observed with dose adjustments. In single doses, carboplatin showed acceptable toxicity with no kidney or liver damage. ^{1 3 4 5 6}

How does the drug combination of Carboplatin, Dactinomycin, Irinotecan, and Vincristine differ from other treatments for Wilms Tumor?

This drug combination is unique because it includes carboplatin, which has been used as an alternative when actinomycin-D was unavailable, and combines it with vincristine and irinotecan, which have shown activity in treating diffuse anaplastic Wilms tumor. This regimen aims to improve outcomes by using a mix of drugs that have been effective in different settings of Wilms tumor treatment. ^{2 3 4 7 8}

Findings from Research

A 17-year-old patient with heavily treated Wilms' tumor and multiple metastases showed a partial response to a combination of carboplatin and paclitaxel after experiencing multiple relapses and extensive prior treatments.

The treatment resulted in mild toxicity and a time to progression of 200 days, indicating that this chemotherapy combination can be effective in managing refractory cases of Wilms' tumor.

Favorable response of heavily treated Wilms' tumor to paclitaxel and carboplatin. Ozaki, S., Takigawa, N., Ichihara, E., et al.[2015]

In a phase II study involving 26 patients with relapsed or refractory Wilms' tumor, the combination of etoposide and carboplatin showed a high overall response rate of 73%, with 8 patients achieving complete response and 11 achieving partial remission.

While the treatment demonstrated impressive efficacy, it also resulted in significant hematologic toxicity, particularly severe thrombocytopenia, highlighting the need for careful monitoring and management of side effects in future studies.

Etoposide and carboplatin: a highly effective combination in relapsed or refractory Wilms' tumor--a phase II study by the French Society of Pediatric Oncology. Pein, F., Tournade, MF., Zucker, JM., et al.[2017]

In the AREN0321 study, vincristine and irinotecan (VI) showed a high response rate in patients with newly diagnosed stage IV diffuse anaplastic Wilms tumor, with 79% of patients achieving a complete or partial response after two cycles.

The study indicated improved four-year survival rates for patients treated with regimen UH1 compared to historical controls from the National Wilms Tumor Study 5, although this came with increased toxicity, highlighting the need for further modifications to reduce adverse effects.

High-dose chemotherapy (HDC) combined with autologous stem cell rescue improved survival rates in children with Wilms tumor who had a high risk of relapse, with a 60.9% estimated survival rate and 48.2% event-free survival after a median follow-up of 41 months.

While HDC was effective, it was associated with significant toxicities, including hematologic issues, mucositis, and renal dysfunction; however, careful dose adjustments based on kidney function prevented permanent renal failure.

High-dose chemotherapy with autologous stem cell rescue in children with nephroblastoma. Kremens, B., Gruhn, B., Klingebiel, T., et al.[2013]

Chemotherapy, particularly with actinomycin-D and vincristine, has significantly improved survival rates for localized Wilms' tumor to over 80% and about 50% for metastatic cases, indicating its efficacy when combined with surgery and radiotherapy.

Initial studies suggest that combining actinomycin-D and vincristine may be more effective than using either drug alone, while the role of postoperative radiotherapy in fully resected tumors is still being evaluated.
