Abstract
AIM To assess objective response after two cycles of temozolomide and topotecan (TOTEM) in children with refractory or relapsed miscellaneous extracranial solid and central nervous system (CNS) tumors, including medulloblastoma and primitive neuroectodermal tumors (PNET). PROCEDURE Multicenter, nonrandomized, phase 2 basket trial including children with solid tumors, completed by a one-stage design confirmatory cohort for medulloblastoma, and an exploratory cohort for PNET. Main eligibility criteria were refractory/relapsed measurable disease and no more than two prior treatment lines. Temozolomide was administered orally at 150 mg/m2 /day followed by topotecan at 0.75 mg/m2 /day intravenously for five consecutive days every 28 days. Tumor response was assessed every two cycles according to WHO criteria and reviewed independently. RESULTS Thirty-two patients were enrolled and treated in the miscellaneous solid tumor and 33 in the CNS strata; 20 patients with medulloblastoma and six with PNET were included in the expansion cohorts. The median age at inclusion was 10.0 years (range, 0.9-20.9). In the basket cohorts, confirmed complete and partial responses were observed in one glioma, four medulloblastoma, and one PNET, leading to the extension. The overall objective response rate (ORR) in medulloblastoma was 28% (95% CI, 12.7-47.2) with 1/29 complete and 7/29 partial responses, those for PNET 10% (95% CI, 0.3-44.5). Post hoc Bayesian analysis estimates that the true ORR in medulloblastoma is probably between 20% and 30% and below 20% in PNET. The most common treatment-related toxicities of the combination therapy were hematologic. CONCLUSIONS Temozolomide-topotecan results in significant ORR in children with recurrent and refractory medulloblastoma with a favorable toxicity profile.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To evaluate long-term survival of the first cohort of stage-4 neuroblastoma patients treated with the N7 induction chemotherapy, surgery of the primary tumor and high-dose chemotherapy (HDC) containing Busulfan-Melphalan (Bu-Mel) followed by autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT). PROCEDURE From 1998 to 1999, 47 children were included in the NB97 trial and treated with induction chemotherapy according to the N7 protocol, followed by surgery of the primary tumor. HDC (Busulfan, 600 mg/m(2) Melphalan, 140 mg/m(2) ) was administered in patients with partial response of metastases with no more than 3 mIBG spots. Radiotherapy was delivered to the primary tumor site when tumors displayed MYCN amplification. RESULTS Thirty-nine patients received Bu-Mel (83%): 23 who had achieved complete response (CR) of metastases, 20 after induction treatment and 3 after second-line chemotherapy, and 16 in partial response (PR). The toxicity of the whole treatment was manageable. The main HDC related-toxicity was hepatic veno-occlusive disease grade > 2 occurring in 15% of the patients. The 8-year EFS of the whole cohort was 34% (95% CI, 22-48%). The 8-year EFS of the 39 patients who received Bu-Mel and ASCT was 41% (95% CI, 27-57%). Patients who achieved a CR of metastases at the end of induction chemotherapy had a significantly better outcome than the others (8-year EFS, 52% vs. 20%; P = 0.02). CONCLUSIONS The long-term results of this first prospective cohort of patients with metastatic disease treated with the N7 induction chemotherapy and HDC (Bu-Mel) confirm published data with stable survival curves but with a longer follow-up.

Abstract
PURPOSE To assess objective response rate (ORR) after two cycles of temozolomide in combination with topotecan (TOTEM) in children with refractory or relapsed neuroblastoma. PATIENTS AND METHODS This multicenter, non-randomised, phase II study included children with neuroblastoma according to a two-stage Simon design. Eligibility criteria included relapsed or refractory, measurable or metaiodobenzylguanidine (mIBG) evaluable disease, no more than two lines of prior treatment. Temozolomide was administered orally at 150mg/m(2) followed by topotecan at 0.75mg/m(2) intravenously for five consecutive days every 28days. Tumour response was assessed every two cycles according to International Neuroblastoma Response Criteria (INRC), and reviewed independently. RESULTS Thirty-eight patients were enroled and treated in 15 European centres with a median age of 5.4years. Partial tumour response after two cycles was observed in 7 out of 38 evaluable patients [ORR 18%, 95% confidence interval (CI) 8-34%]. The best ORR whatever the time of evaluation was 24% (95% CI, 11-40%) with a median response duration of 8.5months. Tumour control rate (complete response (CR)+partial response (PR)+mixed response (MR)+stable disease (SD)) was 68% (95% CI, 63-90%). The 12-months Progression-Free and Overall Survival were 42% and 58% respectively. Among 213 treatment cycles (median 4, range 1-12 per patient) the most common treatment-related toxicities were haematologic. Grade 3/4 neutropenia occurred in 62% of courses in 89% of patients, grade 3/4 thrombocytopenia in 47% of courses in 71% of patients; three patients (8%) had febrile neutropenia. CONCLUSION Temozolomide-Topotecan combination results in very encouraging ORR and tumour control in children with heavily pretreated recurrent and refractory neuroblastoma with favourable toxicity profile.

The β5/focal adhesion kinase/glycogen synthase kinase 3β integrin pathway in high-grade osteosarcoma: a protein expression profile predictive of response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Hum Pathol 2013; 44:2149-58.

Abstract
To date, chemosensitivity to neoadjuvant chemotherapy of patients with high-grade osteosarcoma is evaluated on surgical resection by evaluation of the percentage of necrotic cells. As yet, no predictive profile of response to chemotherapy has been used in clinical practice. Because we have previously shown that the integrin pathway controls genotoxic-induced cell death and hypoxia, we hypothesized that in primary biopsies, expression of proteins involved in this pathway could be associated with sensitivity to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in high-grade osteosarcoma. We studied β1, β3, and β5 integrin expression and integrin-linked kinase, focal adhesion kinase (FAK), glycogen synthase kinase 3β (GSK3β), Rho B, angiopoietin-2, β-catenin, and ezrin expression by immunohistochemistry in 36 biopsies of osteosarcomas obtained before treatment. All patients received a chemotherapy regimen in the neoadjuvant setting. An immunoreactive score was assessed, combining the percentage of positive tumor cells and staining intensity. We evaluated the correlation of the biomarkers with response to chemotherapy, metastasis-free survival, and overall survival. A combination of 3 biomarkers (β5 integrin, FAK, and GSK3β) discriminated good and poor responders to chemotherapy, with the highest area under the curve (89.9%; 95% confidence interval, 77.4-1.00) and a diagnostic accuracy of 90.3%. Moreover, high expression of ezrin was associated with an increased risk of metastasis (hazard ratio, 3.93; 95% confidence interval, 1.19-12.9; P = .024). We report a protein expression profile in high-grade osteosarcoma associating β5 integrin, FAK, and GSK3β that significantly correlates with poor response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy. This biomarker profile could help select patients for whom an alternative protocol using inhibitors of this pathway can be proposed.

Abstract
Although hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) offers curative potential for beta-thalassemia major (beta-TM), it is associated with a variable but significant incidence of graft rejection. We studied the French national experience for improvement over time and the potential benefit of antithymocyte globulin (ATG). Between December 1985 and December 2007, 108 patients with beta-TM underwent HSCT in 21 different French transplantation centers. The majority of patients received a matched sibling transplant (n = 96) and a busulfan- and cyclophosphamide-based conditioning regimen (n = 95), also with ATG in 57 cases. Ninety-five of the 108 patients survived, with a median follow-up of 12 years. Probabilities of 15-year survival and thalassemia-free survival after first HSCT were 86.8% and 69.4%, respectively. Graft failure occurred in 24 patients, 11 of whom underwent a second HSCT. The use of ATG was associated with a decrease in rejection rate from 35% to 10%. Thalassemia-free survival improved significantly with time, reaching 83% in the 54 patients undergoing HSCT after 1994 (median time of HSCT). In view of the increased risk of graft rejection after matched sibling HSCT, current French national guidelines recommend, for all children at risk for beta-TM, the systematic addition of ATG to the myeloablative conditioning regimen and special attention to optimize transfusion and chelation therapy in the pretransplantation period.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To improve outcome and overall survival (OS) in high-risk neuroblastoma, NB96 induction therapy was intensified using sequential high-dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell rescue. PROCEDURE Twenty children were included in this pilot study undertaken at seven reference centers in France, between May 1995 and October 1996. Induction began with one cycle of conventional chemotherapy followed by six sequential cycles of high-dose chemotherapy comprising two cycles of etoposide 800 mg/m(2)/day over 3 days, two cycles of cyclophosphamide 2,000 mg/m(2)/day over 3 days, and two cycles of carboplatin 400 mg/m(2)/day over 5 days, followed by stem cell rescue. RESULTS Thirteen patients (13/20) received this induction with acceptable toxicity and adequate stem cell harvest. Of these, nine (9/13) underwent surgery according to the protocol, while one patient was given a consolidation regimen prior to surgery. No toxic death was recorded. At the end of induction, complete remission was achieved in 10 cases (50%), with six still alive in July 2009. The 5-year event-free survival and OS were 35 ± 11% and 40 ± 11%, respectively. CONCLUSION NB96 therapy is feasible and tolerated without lethal toxicity. Nevertheless, given the small sample size and absence of randomization in our study, the effectiveness of this strategy based on metastasis complete response rates and long-term outcome was not superior to other intensive chemotherapy regimens.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To describe late sequelae and their correlation with presenting clinical features and tumor treatment in children with symptomatic epidural compression (EC) secondary to localized neuroblastoma. PROCEDURES A total of 98 evaluable children diagnosed with neuroblastoma and EC, who survived a minimum of 2 years were identified in two Italian and French neuroblastoma series. RESULTS Symptoms of EC at diagnosis included motor deficit in 94 cases and sphincter deficits in 33. Initial treatment was chemotherapy in 66 cases, neurosurgical decompression in 29 and radiotherapy in 3. Chemotherapy was chosen more frequently for younger children and for those with stage 3 disease. Overall treatment consisted of chemotherapy alone in 44 cases, neurosurgery and chemotherapy in 38, radiotherapy and chemotherapy, with or without neurosurgery, in 16. After a median follow-up of 7.3 years, 57 children (58.2%) had one or more sequelae. Motor sequelae involved 50/57 of these children and correlated with age and severity of motor deficit at diagnosis and neurosurgical treatment. Spine deformities involved 27/57 children and were more frequent in those with severe motor deficit at diagnosis, or who were treated by neurosurgery or radiotherapy. Sphincter dysfunctions involved 31/57 children and were more frequent among children who presented with sphincter symptoms and severe motor deficit. CONCLUSIONS Fifty-eight percent of the children with localized neuroblastoma and symptomatic EC registered in this study developed late sequelae. The severity of motor deficit at diagnosis was the main risk factor.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the efficacy of low-dose chemotherapy in infants with nonmetastatic and unresectable neuroblastoma (NB) without MYCN amplification. PATIENTS AND METHODS Infants with localized NB and no MYCN amplification were eligible in the SIOPEN Infant Neuroblastoma European Study 99.1 study. Primary tumor was deemed unresectable according to imaging defined risk factors. Diagnostic procedures and staging were carried out according to International Staging System recommendations. Children without threatening symptoms received low-dose cyclophosphamide (5 mg/kg/d × 5 days) and vincristine (0.05 mg/kg at day 1; CyV), repeated once to three times every 2 weeks until surgical excision could be safely performed. Children with either one threatening symptom or insufficient response to CyV were given carboplatin and etoposide (CaE), sometimes followed by vincristine, cyclophosphamide, and doxorubicin. No postoperative treatment was to be administered. RESULTS Between December 1999 and April 2004, 120 infants were included in the study. Eighty-eight had no threatening symptoms and 79 received CyV. CaE was given to 49 of them because of insufficient response. Thirty-two children had threatening symptoms, 30 of whom received CaE. Anthracyclines were given to 46 children. Surgery was attempted in 102 patients, leading to gross surgical excision in 93. Relapse occurred in 12 patients (nine local and three metastatic). Five-year overall and event-free survivals were 99% ± 1% and 90% ± 3%, respectively, with a median follow-up of 6.1 years (range, 1.6 to 9.1). CONCLUSION Low-dose chemotherapy without anthracyclines is effective in 62% of infants with an unresectable NB and no MYCN amplification, allowing excellent survival rates without jeopardizing their long-term outcome.

Abstract
PURPOSE Increasing age has been an adverse risk factor in children with neuroblastoma (NB) since the 1970's, with a 12-month age-at-diagnosis cut-off for treatment stratification. Over the last 30 years, treatment intensity for children >12 months with advanced-stage disease has increased; to investigate if this strategy has improved outcome and/or reduced the prognostic influence of age, we analysed the International Neuroblastoma Risk Group (INRG) database. PATIENTS AND METHODS Data from 11,037 children with NB (1974-2002) from Australia, Europe, Japan, North America. Cox modelling of event-free survival (EFS) tested if the era and prognostic significance of age-of-diagnosis, adjusted for bone marrow (BM) metastases and MYCN status, effects on outcome had changed. RESULTS Outcome improved over time: 3-year EFS 46% (1974-1989) and 71% (1997-2002). The risk for those >18 months against ≤12 decreased: hazard ratio (HR); 4.61 and 3.94. For age 13-18 months, EFS increased from 42% to 77%. Outcome was worse if: >18 months (HR 4.47); BM metastases (HR 4.00); and MYCN amplified (HR 3.97). For 1997-2002, the EFS for >18 months with BM involvement and MYCN amplification was 18%, but 89% for 0-12 months with neither BM involvement nor MYCN amplification. CONCLUSIONS There is clear evidence for improving outcomes for children with NB over calendar time. The adverse influence of increasing age-at-diagnosis has declined but it remains a powerful indicator of unfavourable prognosis. These results support the age-of-diagnosis cut-off of greater than 18 months as a risk criterion in the INRG classification system.

[PMID: 20558056 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejca.2010.05.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/19/2010] [Revised: 04/08/2010] [Accepted: 05/04/2010] [Indexed: 10/19/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate maximum tolerated dose and recommended dose (RD) for phase II studies of topotecan (TPT) combined with temozolomide (TMZ) (TOTEM) in children and adolescents with relapsed or refractory solid malignancies. PATIENTS AND METHODS Multicentre, phase I study with a standard '3+3' design in five dose increments. Eligible patients: aged 6 months to 21 years, diagnosis of a solid malignancy failed at least 2 previous lines of therapy. TMZ was administered orally, starting at 100 mg/m(2)/d, and TPT intravenously over 30 min, starting at 0.75 mg/m(2)/d over 5 consecutive days every 28 d. A pharmacokinetics analysis was performed on Day 1 and Day 5 of cycle 1. RESULTS Between February and October 2007, 16 patients were treated. The median age was 8.5 years (range, 3-19 years). Dose-limiting toxicity (grade 4 neutropenia and/or thrombocytopenia lasting more than 7 d) during the first cycle occurred in 2 of 3 patients at level 3 (TMZ 150 mg/m(2)/d and TPT 1.0 mg/m(2)/d) and was always manageable. Confirmed complete and partial responses were observed in 4 patients (25%), three with metastatic neuroblastoma and one with high-grade glioma. Seven patients had a stable disease. Pharmacokinetic data show a wide inter-individual variability. No significant differences were observed between plasma TMZ and TPT concentrations on Day 1 and Day 5 indicating the absence of pharmacokinetic interaction between the drugs. CONCLUSIONS The RD for the combination is TMZ 150 mg/m(2)/d and TPT 0.75 mg/m(2)/d with dose-limiting haematological toxicity. The observed activity deserves further evaluation in paediatric malignancies.

Abstract
Clear-cell sarcoma of the kidney (CCSK) is a rare malignant tumor of childhood, known for its aggressiveness, its tendency to recurrence and to metastasis to bone. We report an observation of a child of 48 months carrying a large abdominal mass. The diagnosis of the SCCR was made on biopsy, since imaging remained uncertain as to the renal origin of the mass. Indeed, our observation underlines the difficulty of its diagnosis. Excepting the morphological aspect, there is no criterion for its recognition. Its prognosis has been improved by the new treatments.

Abstract
PURPOSE Neuroblastoma is characterized by two distinct types of genetic profiles, consisting of either numerical or segmental chromosome alterations. The latter are associated with a higher risk of relapse, even when occurring together with numerical alterations. We explored the role of segmental alterations in tumor progression and the possibility of evolution from indolent to aggressive genomic types. PATIENTS AND METHODS Array-based comparative genomic hybridization data of 394 neuroblastoma samples were analyzed and linked to clinical data. RESULTS Integration of ploidy and genomic data indicated that pseudotriploid tumors with mixed numerical and segmental profiles may be derived from pseudotriploid tumors with numerical alterations only. This was confirmed by the analysis of paired samples, at diagnosis and at relapse, as in tumors with a purely numerical profile at diagnosis additional segmental alterations at relapse were frequently observed. New segmental alterations at relapse were also seen in patients with segmental alterations at diagnosis. This was not linked to secondary effects of cytotoxic treatments since it occurred even in patients treated with surgery alone. A higher number of chromosome breakpoints were correlated with advanced age at diagnosis, advanced stage of disease, with a higher risk of relapse, and a poorer outcome. CONCLUSION These data provide further evidence of the role of segmental alterations, suggesting that tumor progression is linked to the accumulation of segmental alterations in neuroblastoma. This possibility of genomic evolution should be taken into account in treatment strategies of low- and intermediate-risk neuroblastoma and should warrant biologic reinvestigation at the time of relapse.

Abstract
PURPOSE Ifosfamide is widely used in pediatric oncology but its nephrotoxicity may become a significant issue in survivors. This study is aimed at evaluating the incidence of late renal toxicity of ifosfamide and its risk factors. PATIENTS AND METHODS Of the 183 patients prospectively investigated for renal function, 77 treated for rhabdomyosarcoma, 39 for other soft tissue sarcoma, 39 for Ewing's sarcoma, and 28 for osteosarcoma were investigated at least 5 years after treatment. No patients had received cisplatin and/or carboplatin. Glomerular and tubular functions were graded according to the Skinner system. RESULTS The median dose of ifosfamide was 54 g/m(2) (range, 18 to 117 g/m(2)). After a median follow-up of 10 years, 89.5% of patients had normal tubular function, and 78.5% had normal glomerular function rate (GFR). Serum bicarbonate and calcium were normal in all patients. Hypomagnesemia was observed in 1.2% and hypophosphatemia in 1%. The tubular threshold for phosphate was reduced in 24% of the patients (grade 1 in 15%, grade 2 in 8%, and grade 3 in 0.5%). Glycosuria was detected in 37% of the patients but was more than 0.5 g/24 hours in only 5%. Proteinuria was observed in 12%. Ifosfamide dose and interval from therapy to investigations were predictors of tubulopathy in univariate and multivariate analysis. In a multivariate analysis, an older age at diagnosis and the length of interval since treatment had independent impacts on the risk of abnormal GFR. CONCLUSION Renal toxicity is moderate with a moderate dose of ifosfamide. However, since it can be permanent and can get worse with time, repeated long-term evaluations are important, and this risk should be balanced against efficacy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND More accurate prognostic assessment of patients with neuroblastoma is required to better inform the choice of risk-related therapy. The aim of this study is to develop and validate a gene-expression signature to improve outcome prediction. METHODS 59 genes were selected using an innovative data-mining strategy, and were profiled in the largest neuroblastoma patient series (n=579) to date using real-time quantitative PCR starting from only 20 ng of RNA. A multigene-expression signature was built using 30 training samples, tested on 313 test samples, and subsequently validated in a blind study on an independent set of 236 tumours. FINDINGS The signature has a performance, sensitivity, and specificity of 85.4% (95% CI 77.7-93.2), 84.4% (66.5-94.1), and 86.5% (81.1-90.6), respectively, to predict patient outcome. Multivariate analysis indicates that the signature is a significant independent predictor of overall survival and progression-free survival after controlling for currently used risk factors: patients with high molecular risk have a higher risk of death from disease and higher risk of relapse or progression than patients with low molecular risk (odds ratio 19.32 [95% CI 6.50-57.43] and 3.96 [1.97-7.97] for overall survival and progression-free survival, respectively, both p<0.0001). Patients at an increased risk of an adverse outcome can also be identified in the current treatment groups, showing the potential of this signature for improved clinical management. These results were confirmed in the validation study, in which the signature was also independently statistically significant in a model adjusted for MYCN status, age, International Neuroblastoma Staging System stage, ploidy, International Neuroblastoma Pathology Classification grade of differentiation, and mitosis karyorrhexis index (odds ratios between 4.81 and 10.53 depending on the model for overall survival and 3.68 [95% CI 2.01-6.71] for progression-free survival). INTERPRETATION The 59-gene expression signature is an accurate predictor of outcome in patients with neuroblastoma. The signature is an independent risk predictor, identifying patients with an increased risk of poor outcome in the current clinical-risk groups. The method and signature is suitable for routine laboratory testing, and should be evaluated in prospective studies.
