Note: the authors state that they followed the Wilson et al. 2002 protocol, but there are some differences, in particular 1) it isn't clear whether prednisone is given once or twice per day; and 2) dose adjustments below level 1 are different based on age.
Chemotherapy
- Etoposide (Vepesid) 50 mg/m2/day IV continuous infusion over 96 hours, started on day 1 (total dose per cycle: 200 mg/m2)
- Vincristine (Oncovin) 0.4 mg/m2/day IV continuous infusion over 96 hours, started on day 1 (total dose per cycle: 1.6 mg/m2)
- Cyclophosphamide (Cytoxan) 750 mg/m2 IV over 2 hours once on day 5
- Doxorubicin (Adriamycin) 10 mg/m2/day IV continuous infusion over 96 hours, started on day 1 (total dose per cycle: 40 mg/m2)
Glucocorticoid therapy
- Prednisone (Sterapred) 60 mg/m2/day PO on days 1 to 5
Supportive therapy
- G-CSF starting on day 6 and continuing until ANC greater than 5000/μL past nadir
- Trimethoprim-Sulfamethoxazole (Bactrim DS) (dose not specified)
- Fluconazole (Diflucan) (dose not specified)
21-day cycle for 6 to 8 cycles
Dose modifications
- Start cycle 1 as described above.
- Obtain CBCs twice per week for nadir measurements.
- If nadir ANC greater than 500/μL, increase etoposide, doxorubicin, and cyclophosphamide by 20% compared to previous cycle.
- If nadir ANC less than 500/μL on 1 or 2 measurements, use same doses as last cycle.
- If nadir ANC less than 500/μL on at least 3 measurements, decrease etoposide, doxorubicin, and cyclophosphamide by 20% compared to previous cycle.
- And/or if nadir platelet count less than 25 x 109/L on at least 1 measurement, decrease etoposide, doxorubicin, and cyclophosphamide by 20% compared to previous cycle.
- Patients younger than 70: Dose adjustments below the cycle 1 starting dose only apply to cyclophosphamide. That is, the lowest etoposide and doxorubicin would be dosed is at the original cycle 1 dose.
- Patients 70 and older: Dose adjustments below the cycle 1 starting dose apply to all drugs
- (Presumed, based on Wilson et al. 2002): Can start new cycle every 21 days if ANC greater than 1000/μL and platelets greater than 100 x 109/L. If counts are below those levels, check daily CBC and continue growth factor support until counts are adequate and next cycle can start.
