NCT00354835 · STUDY IN CONTEXT

Combination Chemotherapy and Radiation Therapy in Treating Patients With Newly Diagnosed Rhabdomyosarcoma

Draft scope assessment: narrower. Linked by condition-string match at the cancer-entity level. The study's eligibility - stage, biomarker, treatment line and prior therapy - has not been reconciled against this page's definition, so its population is narrower than this page in ways not yet recorded. The condition was transformed or resolved through the terminology hierarchy to reach this cancer type, so the link itself is a candidate a reviewer must confirm. Found because this study's registry identifier is printed in an FDA approval notice, an FDA product label or an NCI summary held by this site. The citing document and the exact position of the identifier inside it are recorded. Being cited is not a statement that the study supports this treatment.

secondary · POSTED

Compare 4-year EFS using eligible participants only to the historical rate of 0.65 with IRSI-V. The 4-year EFS is probability of no relapse, secondary malignancy, or death after 4 years in the study. The Delayed (Week 10) Radiotherapy is from IRSI-V, and the number of participants of IRSI-V is unknown, but we have the rate of 0.65.

17 ineligible participants were excluded.

secondary · POSTED

Compare 2-year local failure rate to the historical rate of 0.13 with IRSI-V. The Delayed (Week 10) Radiotherapy is from IRSI-V, and the number of participants of IRSI-V is unknown, but we have the rate of 0.13.

17 ineligible participants were excluded.

secondary · POSTED

Compare 4-year OS using eligible participants only to the historical rate of 0.70 with IRSI-V. The 4-year OS is probability of being alive after 4 years in the study. The Delayed (Week 10) Radiotherapy is from IRSI-V, and the number of participants of IRSI-V is unknown, but we have the rate of 0.70.
