Scientific titleA multicentre non-randomised interventional treatment trial looking at the treatment of children and young people with non-rhabdomyosarcoma soft tissue sarcomas
Study acronymSTS 2006 03 (NRSTS)
Study objectivesThe protocol comprises three separate sections: synovial sarcoma, adult type sarcoma and other histotypes. In the other histotype section are guidelines for treatment, and for some tumours, more defined treatment plans, however, this should be considered as a suggestion only.
Ethics approval(s)Trent MREC approved on the 26th September 2005 (ref: 05/MRE04/37)
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedTopic: National Cancer Research Network; Subtopic: Sarcoma, Paediatric Oncology; Disease: Soft Tissue
InterventionSynovial and adult type sarcoma patients will be treated according to a risk-adapted treatment program. If chemotherapy is given it will be up to 4 cycles (for synovial sarcoma) and 5 cycles (for adult type sarcoma) of ifosfamide-doxorubicin and 2 cycles of ifosfamide alone.

Study entry: registration only
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measureEvaluate the survival rates and the pattern of treatment failure, measured after 3 years follow up
Secondary outcome measuresMeasured after 3 years follow up:
1. Verify the impact of omission of adjuvant chemotherapy in patients with low-risk synovial sarcoma
2. Investigate the role of adjuvant chemotherapy in IRS group I-II, G3, size greater than 5 cm adult type sarcoma
3. Prospective evaluation of clinical/pathological prognostic factors
4. Investigate the role of ifosfomide-doxorubicin regimen in improving the response rate
5. Unify the treatment of NRSTS patients in Europe

Target number of participantsPlanned sample size: 40; UK sample size: 40
Key inclusion criteriaEligibility criteria for the prospective non-randomised historically-controlled trial are the following:
1. A pathologically proven diagnosis of synovial sarcoma and adult-type soft tissue sarcomas
2. No evidence of metastatic lesions
3. Age less than 21 years (20 years and 364 days) of age
4. No previous treatment except for primary surgery
5. For patients who require adjuvant chemotherapy according to protocol guidelines, no more than a 8 week-interval between the diagnostic surgical approach and the start of chemotherapy
6. For patients who require adjuvant chemotherapy according to protocol guidelines, no pre-existing illness preventing treatment (in particular renal function must be equivalent to grade 0 - 1 nephrotoxicity, no prior history of cardiac disease and normal shortening fraction [greater than 28%] and ejection fraction [greater than 47%])
7. No previous malignancy. Patients with post-irradiation soft part sarcomas could be registered and treated according to the protocol guidelines, but they will be analysed separately.
8. Diagnostic material available for pathology review
9. Available for long term follow up through the treatment centre
10. Written informed consent for treatment available
