D'Angio et al. 1976 (NWTS-1) 1969-1973 Randomized (C) 1. Dactinomycin & Vincristine Inferior RFS
2. Vincristine Not reported

Preceding treatment

Chemotherapy

6-week cycle for 3 cycles, then 3-month cycle for 4 cycles

Dactinomycin & Vincristine

Regimen

Study Dates of enrollment Evidence Comparator Comparative Efficacy
D'Angio et al. 1976 (NWTS-1) 1969-1973 Randomized (E-RT-esc) 1. Dactinomycin
2. Vincristine
Superior RFS
D'Angio et al. 1981 (NWTS-2) 1974-1978 Randomized (E-RT-de-esc) Dactinomycin & Vincristine; longer duration Did not meet primary endpoint of RFS
D'Angio et al. 1989 (NWTS-3) 1979-1985 Randomized (E-RT-de-esc) Dactinomycin & Vincristine; longer duration Did not meet primary endpoint of RFS
Ritchey et al. 2001 (NWTS-4) 1986-1994 Non-randomized (RT)
de Kraker et al. 2004 (SIOP 93-01) 1993-2000 Phase 3 (E-de-esc) Prolonged chemotherapy Equivalent EFS
Pritchard-Jones et al. 2015 (SIOP WT 2001) 2001-2009 Phase 3 (E-de-esc) Dactinomycin, Doxorubicin, Vincristine Non-inferior EFS24 (primary endpoint)

Note: Ritchey et al. 2001 does not appear to be a primary publication of the NWTS-4 results, but no other publications could be found; details including phase of study are unclear.
