Cisplatin and Combination Chemotherapy in Treating Children and Young Adults With Hepatoblastoma or Liver Cancer After Surgery

NCT03533582

Description:

This partially randomized phase II/III trial studies how well, in combination with surgery, cisplatin and combination chemotherapy works in treating children and young adults with hepatoblastoma or hepatocellular carcinoma. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cisplatin, doxorubicin, fluorouracil, vincristine sulfate, carboplatin, etoposide, irinotecan, sorafenib, gemcitabine and oxaliplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving combination chemotherapy may kill more tumor cells than one type of chemotherapy alone.

Purpose

This partially randomized phase II/III trial studies how well, in combination with surgery, cisplatin and combination chemotherapy works in treating children and young adults with hepatoblastoma or hepatocellular carcinoma. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cisplatin, doxorubicin, fluorouracil, vincristine sulfate, carboplatin, etoposide, irinotecan, sorafenib, gemcitabine and oxaliplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving combination chemotherapy may kill more tumor cells than one type of chemotherapy alone.

Detailed Description

      PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

      I. To reduce therapy associated toxicity for patients with non-metastatic hepatoblastoma (HB)
      and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) without adversely affecting long term outcomes.

      II. To determine the event-free survival (EFS) in patients with HB whose tumor is completely
      resected at diagnosis and either receive no adjuvant chemotherapy (completely resected well
      differentiated fetal [WDF] histology HB) or 2 cycles of standard dose cisplatin monotherapy
      (completely resected non-well differentiated fetal histology HB - 100 mg/m^2/cycle given 3
      weeks apart). (Group A) III. To demonstrate that 4 to 6 cycles of interval compressed lower
      dose cisplatin monotherapy (80 mg/m^2/cycle; 320-480 mg/m^2 total) is adequate for low risk
      HB. (Group B) IIIa. In patients who are resected after 2 cycles of cisplatin monotherapy, to
      compare EFS following a randomized comparison of 2 versus 4 post-operative cycles of
      cisplatin monotherapy. (Group B) IIIb. In patients whose tumors are deemed unresectable after
      2 cycles of cisplatin monotherapy, to determine the proportion of tumors rendered completely
      resectable by an additional 2 or 4 cycles of chemotherapy. (Group B) IV. To compare in a
      randomized fashion, EFS in patients with intermediate risk HB treated with 6 cycles of
      cisplatin/5-fluorouracil/vincristine/doxorubicin (C5VD) chemotherapy versus 6 cycles of
      interval compressed cisplatin monotherapy (100 mg/m^2/dose). (Group C) V. To determine the
      EFS in patients with HCC whose tumor is completely resected at diagnosis who receive no
      adjuvant chemotherapy (completely resected HCC arising in the context of underlying liver
      disease) or 4 cycles of cisplatin/doxorubicin (PLADO) (completely resected de novo HCC).
      (Group E) VI. To improve the EFS of patients with high risk HB by treating them with interval
      compressed cisplatin and doxorubicin based induction regimen followed by response-adapted
      consolidation therapy. (Group D) VIa. In patients whose metastatic disease resolves with the
      administration of Societe Internationale d'Oncologie Pediatrique (SIOPEL) 4 Induction
      therapy, to determine if the promising pilot results observed in SIOPEL 4 can be validated in
      a large international study. (Group D1) VIb. In patients whose metastatic disease does not
      resolve with the administration of SIOPEL 4 Induction therapy, to determine in a randomized
      comparison which post induction treatment (irinotecan and vincristine sulfate [vincristine]
      alternating with carboplatin and doxorubicin or carboplatin and etoposide alternating with
      carboplatin and doxorubicin) results in superior outcomes. (Group D Arm CE & Arm VI) VII. In
      patients with unresectable/metastatic HCC at diagnosis, to determine whether the addition of
      gemcitabine and oxaliplatin (GEMOX + sorafenib) to a cisplatin, doxorubicin and sorafenib
      backbone improves chemotherapy response, resectability and survival. (Group F)

      EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:

      I. To determine if the Childhood Hepatic tumor International Consortium (CHIC) hepatoblastoma
      risk stratification analysis of very low risk (Group A), low risk (Group B), intermediate
      risk (Group C) and high risk (Group D) groups stratifies patients allowing appropriate
      utilization of varying intensity chemotherapy regimens and surgical resection strategies.

      II. To define the prognostic relevance of a positive microscopic margin in Group A-D resected
      HB specimens.

      III. To define the frequency of histologically detectable multifocal lesions in liver
      explants and resected specimens in which multifocal disease was detected at diagnosis and
      disappeared on cross sectional imaging following treatment with chemotherapy.

      IV. To define the prognostic relevance in HB of a 'small cell undifferentiated' tumor
      component and percentage of tumor necrosis in post chemotherapy specimens.

      V. To determine the prognostic impact on EFS and overall survival (OS) of biopsy technique in
      liver tumors unresectable at diagnosis.

      VI. To determine the 3-year EFS and OS of HB patients who undergo liver transplantation vs
      extreme resection in Group C and D patients.

      VII. To determine the 3-year EFS and OS of Group D patients who undergo pulmonary
      metastasectomy.

      VIII. To determine the 3-year EFS and OS of patients who undergo liver transplantation for
      HCC.

      IX. To determine the frequency of relapse in non-metastatic HCC in children treated by liver
      transplantation versus conventional resection.

      X. To determine the concordance of Pretreatment Extent of Disease (PRETEXT) and
      Post-treatment Extent of disease (POSTTEXT) based surgical guidelines and the surgical
      intervention performed.

      XI. To collect for future analysis, HB and HCC tumor specimens that can be molecularly
      characterized to validate newly identified molecular and immunohistochemical biomarkers
      correlating with known clinical prognostic factors and outcome.

      XII. To evaluate the hepatoblastoma molecular risk-predictive model (HB-MRP) to risk stratify
      hepatoblastoma patients in the context of the current AHEP1531 trial.

      XIII. To collect for future analysis samples to assess the pharmacogenomics (PG) related to
      cisplatin therapy in pediatric and adolescent liver tumor patients and correlate PG with
      Boston Grading Scale for ototoxicity.

      XIV. To collect for future analysis samples such that novel biomarkers of renal toxicity
      (urine neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin [NGAL], cystatin C and Kim1) from cisplatin
      therapy can be correlated with pharmacogenomics, other associated toxicities, and outcomes.

      XV. To determine which system (Children's Oncology Group [COG] PRETEXT, SIOPEL PRETEXT, or a
      new hybrid definition of PRETEXT) of the annotation factors for V, P, E, F and R provides the
      best prognostic information for determining response to chemotherapy, guiding risk based
      therapy, predicting surgical resectability, and EFS.

      XVI. To determine the concordance between institutional and expert panel review assessment of
      PRETEXT and POSTTEXT stage in an international cooperative group setting.

      Primary Outcome Measures

      Measure:Event-free survival (EFS)
      Time Frame:3 years
      Safety Issue:
      Description:EFS is defined as the time from randomization (or registration into the trial for non-randomized patients) to the first failure event where the failure events are defined as: progression of existing disease or occurrence of disease at new sites, death from any cause prior to disease progression, or diagnosis of a second malignant neoplasm. Patients who have not had an event will be censored at their last follow-up date. EFS for group A, group B1, group C, group D1, group D2 and E will be presented.
