Background:
There are several different chemotherapy drugs used in this study. The combination you receive will depend on which treatment plan (regimen) you are assigned to. These drugs work in different ways to stop the growth of Wilms tumor cells.
Doxorubicin, Cyclophosphamide, Ifosfamide, and Carboplatin attack the genetic material inside cancer cells, making it hard for them to grow or repair themselves.
Vincristine and Etoposide prevent cancer cells from multiplying by interrupting their cell division process.
Irinotecan and Topotecan stop cancer cells from copying or fixing their DNA, which can lead to cell death.
The Trial:
This study is testing the safety and effectiveness of two new chemotherapy combinations, called UH-3 and ICE/Cyclo/Topo. The goal is to see if these newer treatments can improve survival compared to past standard treatments used for Wilms tumor.
Participants will be assigned to one of the below treatment regimes depending on their cancer type and stage:
- Regime UH-3: Vincristine Doxorubicin, Cyclophosphamide, Carboplatin, Etoposide, Irinotecan
- Regime ICE/Cyclo/Topo: Ifosfamide, Carboplatin, Etoposide, Cyclophosphamide, Topotecan
The trial is not “blind”, so both you and your doctor will know which therapy you are receiving.
Basic Eligibility:
- 30 years old or younger
- Newly diagnosed diffuse anaplastic Wilms tumor (DAWT), stages 2–4
- If you had favorable histology Wilms tumor (FHWT) before, and cancer has come back
Additional eligibility criteria will apply. Please speak to your doctor.
