  • BACKGROUND Failure‐free survival (FFS) and overall survival (OS) rates were found to improve on Intergroup Rhabdomyosarcoma Study (IRS) IV (IRS‐IV) compared with IRS‐III for patients with subset 2 (IRS stage 1, group III nonorbit or stage 3, group I/II) low‐risk embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma with the addition of cyclophosphamide (total cumulative cyclophosphamide dose of 26.4 g/m2) to the combination of vincristine and dactinomycin (VAC). The goal of Children's Oncology Group ARST0331 for subset 2 low‐risk patients was to reduce the total cumulative cyclophosphamide dose without compromising FFS. METHODS Therapy included 4 cycles of VAC (total cumulative cyclophosphamide dose of 4.8 g/m2) followed by 12 cycles of vincristine and dactinomycin over 46 weeks. Patients with group II or III tumors received radiotherapy, except for girls with group III vaginal tumors who enrolled before September 2009 and achieved a complete response with chemotherapy with or without delayed surgical resection. RESULTS Among 66 eligible patients who were followed for a median of 3.5 years, there were 20 failures versus 10.53 expected failures. The estimated 3‐year FFS and OS rates were 70% (95% confidence interval [95% CI], 57%‐80%) and 92% (95% CI, 83%‐97%), respectively. The estimated 3‐year FFS rate was 57% (95% CI, 33%‐75%) for girls with subset 2 genital tract embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma (21 patients) and 77% (95% CI, 61%‐87%) for all other subset 2 patients (45 patients) (P = .02). CONCLUSIONS The authors observed suboptimal FFS among patients with subset 2 low‐risk rhabdomyosarcoma using reduced total cyclophosphamide. Eliminating radiotherapy for girls with group III vaginal tumors in combination with reduced total cyclophosphamide appeared to contribute to the suboptimal outcome.

The primary goal of Children's Oncology Group ARST0331 for patients with subset 2 low‐risk embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma is to reduce the total cumulative dose of cyclophosphamide without compromising failure‐free survival. However, the authors report suboptimal failure‐free survival in these patients using reduced total cyclophosphamide.
