Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: The primary objectives for this trial are related to each of the trial questions. For the Phase I Dose Finding Studies, the aim is to determine the recommended phase II dose (RP2D) of new systemic therapy regimens. The first combination to be tested is irinotecan in combination with ifosfamide, vincristine and actinomycin D (IrIVA). For the frontline chemotherapy questions, the objectives are: • To compare systemic therapy regimens for patients with Very High Risk (VHR) disease at diagnosis. The first new combination regimens to be compared are IVADo and IrIVA in a dose intense schedule. •To compare new systemic therapy regimens with standard chemotherapy for patients with High Risk (HR) disease at diagnosis. The standard chemotherapy is ifosfamide, vincristine, actinomycin D (IVA). The first new combination regime to be compared is irinotecan combined with IVA (IrIVA) in a dose intense schedule For the radiotherapy questions, the objectives are as follows: •To determine ;Secondary Objective: The secondary objectives for this trial are: •To validate whether the use of fusion status (PAX3/PAX7-FOXO1) in place of histopathological diagnosis improves risk stratification •To determine whether assessment of fusion status is necessary in tumours classified as Embryonal Rhabdomyosarcoma by histopathology •To determine whether immunohistochemistry assessment for protein expression driven by the fusion protein is an accurate surrogate for fusion status •To determine whether FDG PET- CT response assessment following induction chemotherapy is a prognostic biomarker for local failure and/ or survival. ;Primary end point(s): The primary outcome measures for this study are as follows: Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D) - Phase 1b Event Free Survival for randomisations CT1a, CT1b, CT2, RT2 and CT3. Local failure free survival for randomisations RT1a, RT1b and RT1c ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Event-free survival (EFS) time is defined as the ti
