Vulnerable Population
Trial includes children from 1 month of age up to 25 years and is marked as including vulnerable populations. Consent approach: written informed consent required from legal representatives for minors; patients who can understand the trial may provide consent/assent themselves. For patients above 18 years, written informed consent is obtained from the patient. Provisions for patients under guardianship or curatorship: authorization given by the legal representative for patients under guardianship; for patients under curatorship consent obtained from the adult assisted by his or her legal curator. Multiple age‑specific subject information and informed consent form documents are included (e.g. templates for minors 6-12, 13-17, minors, guardians/parental authority, tutelle, curatelle, patient become major), indicating age-tailored information and consent/assent handling.

Endpoints

Primary endpoints

  • {"endpoint_text":"- Therefore, our primary endpoint is the 3-year PFS rates comparing the two arms (standard vs experimental). The analysis will be based on PFS measured from time of 1st treatment administration up to the first event during the first 3 years of follow-up. An event is defined as death for all reasons, progression of a residual tumor, reappearance of a tumor in case of disappearance and/or appearance of new locations in the brain and spine.","definition_or_measurement_approach":"PFS measured from time of first treatment administration up to the first event during the first 3 years of follow-up. Event defined as death from any cause, progression of residual tumor, reappearance of tumor after disappearance and/or appearance of new locations in brain and spine."}

Secondary endpoints

  • {"endpoint_text":"- •\tthe tumor response at 24 and 72 weeks based on the international and recognized RANO criteria, the analysis comparing the 2 arms will be based on overall response rate (ORR) by central independent radiological review assessment. The analysis will be conducted in all patients at least at 24 weeks of completed treatment or earlier for the patients who have discontinued for progression reasons. The tumor response will classify the patients in 2 groups: PD subgroup versus CR/PR/SD subgroup.","definition_or_measurement_approach":"Tumor response at 24 and 72 weeks assessed using RANO criteria; ORR determined by central independent radiological review; analysis includes patients with at least 24 weeks of completed treatment or earlier discontinuation for progression; responses grouped PD vs CR/PR/SD."}
  • {"endpoint_text":"- •\tthe 3-year OS rate: the OS calculation will take into account the survival measured from time of 1st treatment administration up to death.","definition_or_measurement_approach":"Overall survival measured from time of first treatment administration up to death; 3-year OS rate for each arm."}
  • {"endpoint_text":"- •\tthe frequency and description of AE (adverse event)/SAE (serious adverse event) based on CTCAE criteria (using NCI-CTCAE version 5.0) focusing on visual disturbances, skin, intestinal and cardiac side effects in the experimental arm compared with the standard control arm. The safety assessment will be done by cycle and by patient.","definition_or_measurement_approach":"AEs/SAEs graded per NCI-CTCAE v5.0; frequency and description recorded by cycle and by patient, with specific focus on visual, skin, intestinal and cardiac events."}
  • {"endpoint_text":"- •\tthe QoL based on specific questionnaires (PEDs-QoL) at baseline, 24 weeks, at the end of treatment and 3 years after the first treatment administration. The analysis is based on EORTC adapted QOL questionnaires.","definition_or_measurement_approach":"Quality of life assessed using PEDs-QoL / EORTC adapted questionnaires at baseline, 24 weeks, end of treatment, and 3 years after first treatment."}
  • {"endpoint_text":"- •\tthe 3-year PFS and OS rates according to molecular biomarkers obtained with routinely done molecular analyses (RENOCLIP-LOC platform) and after centralized review of each tumor histology.","definition_or_measurement_approach":"PFS and OS at 3 years stratified by molecular biomarkers obtained via routine molecular analyses (RENOCLIP-LOC) and central histology review."}
  • {"endpoint_text":"- •\tthe 3-year PFS and OS rates according to visual outcome in patient with optic pathway glioma with an analysis of visual function (LoqMAR scale) at baseline, at 24 weeks, at the end of treatment and after 3 years of treatment.","definition_or_measurement_approach":"PFS and OS at 3 years correlated with visual outcomes measured by LogMAR scale at baseline, 24 weeks, end of treatment, and 3 years."}
  • {"endpoint_text":"- •\tthe data of patients benefiting from the crossover strategy will be collected to obtain information about response rate, PFS and OS for those patients progressing or relapsing on standard arm treatment.","definition_or_measurement_approach":"Outcomes (response rate, PFS, OS) will be collected for patients who cross over from standard to experimental treatment after progression/relapse."}
