About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Ataxia-Telangiectasia focused on measuring Ataxia, alphafetoprotein

Eligibility Criteria

undefined - 10 Years (Child)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria: Patient must have a diagnosis of Ataxia-Telangiectasia (A-T). Patient must have a diagnosis of either acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) or lymphoma (non-Hodgkin lymphoma or Hodgkin's disease). Patients with other malignancies (solid tumors, rare malignancies, or relapsed hematopoietic malignancies) will be eligible for the biologic studies of this protocol; they will receive best clinical management chemotherapy. Patients do not have to be previously untreated. If prior chemotherapy has already started (up through induction), therapy will be continued according to protocol at a clinically appropriate time point.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This is a pilot/feasibility study designed to investigate the feasibility of treating children with Ataxia-Telangiectasia (A-T) and cancer with regimens nearly as intense as non-A-T patients with cancer would receive.
Detailed Description
Approximately 10-30% of A-T patients will develop a malignancy during their lifetime. The vast majority of these cancers are of lymphoid origin. There is no consensus regarding the optimal strategy for treating children with A-T who develop hematopoietic malignancies. Historically, many of these children have been treated with therapy that is much less intensive than the conventional approach for non-A-T patients with similar malignancies during the corresponding treatment era. Although these less intensive approaches may have stemmed from perceptions that these children would not tolerate intensive therapy, there is in fact no data to suggest that these children cannot tolerate intensive therapy. However, it is clear that children with A-T require a modification in certain components of intensive therapy. To provide children with A-T and either ALL or malignant lymphoma the best chance for a cure, we propose to use modern therapeutic strategies with minimal modifications which address the unique toxicity profile encountered in treating children with A-T. Secondary objectives include: To clinically and biologically characterize the malignancies occurring in children with A-T (usually malignant lymphoma or ALL). This will include in vitro drug sensitivity screening. To study chemotherapy-induced DNA damage in children with A-T. Detailed Description of Treatment Plan: Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) Low Risk: Induction: Prednisone 40 mg/m2/day PO days 1-28 Vinblastine 6 mg/m2/dose IV day 8 Vincristine 1.5 mg/m2/dose days 1, 15 Daunomycin 20 mg/m2/week IV days 1,15 Asparaginase 10,000 U/m2/dose IM days 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 VP-16 225 mg/m2/dose Days 22, 25, 29 Ara-C 300 mg/m2/dose Days 22, 25, 29 All patients will receive CNS therapy with triple intrathecal therapy on days 1, 22 and 43 of induction treatment, dose age adjusted.
