A Study of Combination Chemotherapy for Patients With Newly Diagnosed DAWT and Relapsed FHWT

Phase II trial testing new chemotherapy combinations for children with Wilms tumor, including newly diagnosed DAWT and relapsed FHWT at different risk levels.

About

Protocol Description

This phase II trial studies how well combination chemotherapy works in treating patients with newly diagnosed stage II-IV diffuse anaplastic Wilms tumors (DAWT) or favorable histology Wilms tumors (FHWT) that have come back (relapsed). This trial may help doctors find out what effects, good and/or bad, regimen UH-3 has on patients with newly diagnosed DAWT and standard risk relapsed FHWT (those treated with only 2 drugs for the initial WT) and regimen ICE/Cyclo/Topo has on patients with high and very high risk relapsed FHWT (those treated with 3 or more drugs for the initial WT).
