Trial design

Randomised, standard chemotherapy arms are described in the protocol: standard iva (ifosfamide, vincristine, actinomycin d) is the standard comparator for some frontline comparisons; in the relapsed setting the comparison is vincristine + irinotecan + temozolomide (virt) versus vincristine + irinotecan + regorafenib (virr) (regorafenib added to vir). doses and schedules are described in the protocol but not listed in the ctis metadata.-controlled, adaptive Phase I | Phase III trial.

Randomised
Yes
Comparator
Standard chemotherapy arms are described in the protocol: standard IVA (ifosfamide, vincristine, actinomycin D) is the standard comparator for some frontline comparisons; in the relapsed setting the comparison is Vincristine + irinotecan + temozolomide (VIRT) versus Vincristine + irinotecan + Regorafenib (VIrR) (Regorafenib added to VIr). Doses and schedules are described in the protocol but not listed in the CTIS metadata.
Adaptive
True — multi-arm multi-stage design; includes Phase I dose-finding (dose-escalation to determine RP2D), multi-arm comparisons and sequential/randomisation questions allowing addition/removal of arms and comparisons; interim analyses and dose-escalation rules are part of the Phase I component (RP2D determination) and the platform-style multi-arm multi-stage framework.
Biomarker Stratified
True, biomarker: PAX3/PAX7-FOXO1 fusion status (fusion-positive vs fusion-negative)
Single Multiple Or Escalation Dose Combined
Yes
Target Sample Size
400

Eligibility

Recruits 400 paediatric patients.

Pregnancy Exclusion
Pregnant or breastfeeding women
Vulnerable Population
Children and adolescents included. Written informed consent from the patient and/or the parent/legal guardian is required; age-specific information and consent forms (and assent forms where applicable) are provided for different age groups. Age-stratified ICFs and parent/legal guardian ICFs are available (multiple country/language versions). Pregnancy testing and contraception requirements are specified for females of childbearing potential.

Recruitment

Planned Sample Size
400
Recruitment Window Months
71
Consent Approach
Written informed consent is required from the patient and/or the parent/legal guardian. Age-specific information sheets, assent forms and consent forms are provided for multiple age groups (infants/children/adolescents and adults) and for parents/legal guardians; numerous country- and language-specific ICFs are available (examples in English, Dutch, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Portuguese, Finnish, Greek, Czech, Swedish, Norwegian among others as per submitted public ICFs). Female patients of childbearing potential require documented negative pregnancy test and agreement to use contraception as specified.
