Clinical trials are an important way to improve treatment for people with cancer. While most are continuing during the COVID-19 pandemic, the period of time that clinical trials are available and recruiting may change quickly. If you would like to get involved in a clinical trial, speak to your treatment team or the health service where the clinical trial is being undertaken, to confirm it is open and appropriate for you. For cancer information and support, call Cancer Council's experienced cancer nurses on 13 11 20 Monday to Friday from 9am-5pm.

Trial Overview Read MoreRead more

This study is evaluating the impact of new cancer treatments in both newly diagnosed and relapsed rhabdomyosarcoma patients; it will determine whether changing the duration of maintenance therapy affects outcome; and whether changes to dose, extent and timing of radiotherapy improve outcomes and quality of life for patients.
 

This trial is treating patients with Rhabdomyosarcoma.

This is a systemic therapy and radiotherapy trial.

You may be excluded from this trial if:

  • You have a certain disease or psychological condition.
  • You have been diagnosed with a prior or secondary type of cancer.
  • You have had certain treatments, surgical procedures or drugs.

Clinical trials have complex eligibility criteria - talk to your doctor about your interest in this trial.

Summary

This study is planned to open in early 2021. The first part of this study will be a phase Ib dose-finding trial, open to newly diagnosed patients. This study will investigate the addition of irinotecan to IVA (ifosfamide, vincristine and actinomycin D) chemotherapy (IrIVA) and support the identification of a recommended phase II dose. Once the recommended phase II dose has been determined, patients will be randomised, according to whether they are newly diagnosed or high risk, into the next part of the study. In this part of the study, newly diagnosed patients will be randomised to receive either IVADo (Ifosfamide, Vincristine, Actinomycin D, Doxorubicin) or IrIVA; and high risk patients will be randomised to IVA or IrIVA. Cycles of chemotherapy will be given at 21-day intervals. The next part of the study will contain several radiotherapy randomisations for patients with newly diagnosed and high risk rhabdomyosarcoma, followed by maintenance chemotherapy. Following the completion of treatment, the frequency of follow-up assessments will be guided by local practice. However, every 3 months for the first 3 years and every 6 months thereafter is suggested. Patients will be followed-up for a minimum of 3 years, until the last patient has been followed-up for 3 years.
