A Study Using Risk Factors to Determine Treatment for Children With Favorable Histology Wilms Tumors (FHWT) (NCT06401330)

Risk Adapted Treatment of Unilateral Favorable Histology Wilms Tumors (FHWT)

🟢 Recruiting Phase3 💊 Investigational Drug / Biologic Sponsor: Children's Oncology Group

🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

This phase III trial studies using risk factors in determining treatment for children with favorable tissue (histology) Wilms tumors (FHWT). Wilms Tumor is the most common type of kidney cancer in children, and FHWT is the most common subtype. Previous large clinical trials have established treatment plans that are likely to cure most children with FHWT, however some children still have their cancer come back (called relapse) and not all survive. Previous research has identified features of FHWT that are associated with higher or lower risks of relapse. The term "risk" refers to the chance of the cancer coming back after treatment. Using results of tumor histology tests, biology tests, and response to therapy may be able to improve treatment for children with FHWT.

Who can join: To join this study, participants generally need to meet the listed inclusion criteria (18 items) and avoid the listed exclusions (25 items).

Location: Children's Hospital of Alabama — Birmingham, Alabama

Age range: Not specified to 30 Years

Instant Checklist

Check every box below. If you can check all of them, you may meet the study's basic screening requirements (final eligibility is confirmed by the site team).

Usually NOT eligible if any of the following apply:

  • Exclusion Criteria:
  • Patient with a diagnosis of Stage V Bilateral Wilms Tumor.
  • Patients who in the opinion of the investigator are not able to comply with the study procedures are not eligible.
  • Patients with any uncontrolled, intercurrent illness including but not limited to symptomatic congestive heart failure.
  • Patients with Stage I FHWT with a known or suspected Wilms Tumor predisposition syndrome or condition (contralateral nephrogenic rests and/or unilateral multicentric tumors) are excluded from treatment on the mVLR (Nephrectomy Only) arm.
  • Notes:
  • In the context of the renal tumor protocols, multicentric tumors and multifocal tumors are equivalent terms, and refer to the occurrence of two or more tumors arising within one kidney.
  • Exclusion from the Nephrectomy Only arm applies to two groups of patients:
  • Patients \< 4 years with Stage I FHWT other than epithelial subtype AND
  • Stage I patients of any age with Epithelial WT
  • For the purpose of exclusion from the Nephrectomy Only Arm, known or suspected WT predisposition syndromes or conditions are defined as follows:
  • WT Predisposition Syndromes: Beckwith Wiedemann Spectrum, Denys Drash, Trisomy 18, Idiopathic Hemihypertrophy/Isolated Lateralized Overgrowth, WAGR, Simpson-Golabi-Behmel, Bohring-Opitz, or other conditions considered by treating physician to predispose to WT.
