Up to 10 years after enrollment. 5-year estimates of EFS are presented.

What was measured

Kaplan-Meier estimates of EFS are calculated from randomization date to first occurrence of disease progression, disease recurrence, second malignant neoplasm, or death from any cause. The comparison between randomized arms (post-radiation maintenance chemotherapy versus post-radiation observation only) for this stratum is conveyed by the hazard ratio and 95% Wald confidence interval.

Analysis population: Eligible, randomized participants (intent-to-treat) in stratum 2 (completely resected ependymom at initial surgery)

Groups in this outcome

Arm II: Randomized to Radiation With Maintenance Chemotherapy in Stratum 2

Patients with supratentorial ependymoma (Grade II without GTR1 or Grade III) or any infratentorial ependymoma with incomplete resection after initial surgery and then CR after induction chemotherapy, or patients with GTR/NTR after second surgery (stratum 2) are randomized to undergo conformal radiotherapy over 6-7 weeks followed by maintenance chemotherapy.

Arm III: Randomized to Radiation Only in Stratum 2

Patients with supratentorial ependymoma (Grade II without GTR1 or ST Grade III) or any infratentorial ependymoma (Grade II or III) with incomplete resection after initial surgery and then CR after induction chemotherapy, or patients with GTR/NTR after second surgery (stratum 2) are randomized to undergo conformal radiotherapy over 6-7 weeks and then undergo observation.

Group identifiers and denominators belong to this outcome only. They may differ in another outcome or in safety reporting.

    Hazard ratio is based on hazard of events for Arm II over hazard of events for Arm III.
    group Description
    In stratum 2, it was also planned to test the superiority of RT+maintenance vs. RT alone as measured by EFS using the hazard ratio via a 2-sided log-rank test. A two-sided significance threshold of 5% was planned for this comparison.
