What was measured

The Kaplan-Meier estimate of EFS is calculated from enrollment date to first occurrence of disease progression, disease recurrence, second malignant neoplasm, or death from any cause.

Analysis population: Eligible participants in Arm I

Groups in this outcome

Arm I: Observation

Patients with classic histology (WHO Grade II) supratentorial ependymoma who have undergone microscopic gross total resection (GTR1) or achieved CR either after first or second resection or after post-operative induction chemotherapy are assigned to observation. For patients without GTR1, induction chemotherapy is comprised of vincristine intravenously (IV) over 1 minute on days 1 and 8 of cycles 1 and 2, carboplatin IV over 15-60 minutes on day 1 of cycles 1 and 2, and cyclophosphamide IV over 30-60 minutes on days 1-2 of cycle 1 only. Patients also receive etoposide IV over 60-120 minutes on days 1-3 of cycle 2 only. Cycle 1 continues for 3 weeks and cycle 2 continues for 4 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

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