Study Summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. Combining radiation therapy with chemotherapy may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of etoposide plus radiation therapy followed by combination chemotherapy in treating children with newly diagnosed advanced medulloblastoma.

Primary Outcome

It is possible that unacceptably high levels of toxicity may arise. For this reason, there is a 3-stage stopping rule designed to allow the Study Coordinator to stop this study early if it appears that the true proportion of eligible patients who suffer unacceptable levels of toxicity exceeds 10%.

Interventions
