Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: Part A: To test the non-inferiority, as evaluated by OS, of three courses of HDCT compared to focal RT plus conventional chemotherapy as consolidation therapy following conventional chemotherapy in children with ATRT aged 12 – 35 months at consolidation therapy. Part B: To assess the efficacy, as evaluated by OS, 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 within Part A of this protocol, compared to historical controls. Part C: To assess the efficacy, as evaluated by overall survival, of RT as a consolidation measure combined with conventional-type chemotherapy in children aged =36 months with ATRT, compared to historical controls.;Secondary Objective: Part A: Comparison of the neurocognitive outcome in the two treatment arms, QoL, EFS, PFS and OS, incidence and severity of AEs and late effects; Assessment of the response to induction chemotherapy and compare it with that of historical controls Part B: Assessment of the efficacy, as evaluated by OS (5-year follow-up) compared to historical controls, the neurocognitive outcome, the QoL, the incidence and severity of AEs and late effects, and the response to induction chemotherapy; Comparison of EFS and PFS to historical controls Part C: Assessment of the efficacy, as evaluated by OS (5-year follow-up), of RT as a consolidation measure combined with conventional-type chemotherapy compared to historical controls, the neurocognitive outcome, the QOL, the incidence and severity of AEs and late effects, and the response to induction chemotherapy compared to historical controls; Comparison of EFS and PFS to historical controls;Primary end point(s): Overall survival (2-year follow-up, for Part A non-inferiority of the HDCT arm);Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 2 year follow up last patient

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): Secondary endpoints specific for Part A = randomized trial: • 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 to induction chemotherapy and compare it with that of historical controls. Secondary endpoint specific for 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. Secondary endpoint specific for 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. Secondary endpoints (Parts 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 afte
