Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Overall survival (2-year follow-up, for Part A non-inferiority of the HDCT arm)

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
PART A: - Test the non-inferiority, as evaluated by OS (5-year follow-up), of three courses of HDCT compared to focal RT plus conventional chemotherapy - Compare the neurocognitive outcome in the two treatment arms before randomization, 2 and 5 years after randomization, including demonstration and quantification of the superiority of neuropsychological performance in children and adolescents with ATRT following treatment by HDCT, compared to those treated with RT; identification of risk factors for differences in outcome - Compare the quality of life in the two treatment arms before randomization, 2 and 5 years following randomization - Compare event-free survival (EFS), progression-free survival (PFS) and OS between arms and to historical controls - Compare the incidence and severity of Adverse Events (AEs) in each of the arms - Compare the incidence and severity of late effects in each of the arms - Assess the response PART B: - Assess the efficacy, as evaluated by OS (5-year follow-up), of three courses of HDCT as a consolidation measure following conventional-type chemotherapy in children with ATRT aged <12 months at the time of HDCT and not eligible for randomization in Part A of this protocol, compared to historical controls. PART C: Assess the efficacy, as evaluated by OS (5-year follow-up), of RT as a consolidation measure combined with conventional-type chemotherapy in children aged =36 months with ATRT and not eligible for randomization in Part A of this protocol, compared to historical controls. PART B and C: - Assess the neurocognitive outcome in the cohorts following induction at diagnosis, 2 and 5 years after diagnosis - Assess the quality of life in the cohort following induction at diagnosis, 2 and 5 years after diagnosis - Compare EFS and PFS to that of historical controls - Assess the incidence and severity of AEs - Assess the incidence and severity of late effects - Assess the response to induction chemotherapy and compare i
