    Abstract Purpose: Many children treated for ALL develop long-term neurocognitive impairments. Increased risk of these impairments is associated with treatment and demographic factors. Exposure to anesthesia is an additional possible risk factor. This study evaluated the impact of cumulative exposure to anesthesia on neurocognitive outcomes among a multicenter cohort of children with ALL.
    Methods: This study was embedded in AALL1131, a Children's Oncology Group phase III trial for patients with high-risk B-ALL. In consenting patients age 6-12 years, prospective uniform assessments of neurocognitive function were performed during and at 1 year after completion of therapy. Exposure to all episodes of anesthetic agents was abstracted. Multivariable linear regression models determined associations of cumulative anesthetic agents with the primary neurocognitive outcome reaction time/processing speed (age-normed) at 1 year off therapy, adjusting for baseline neurocognitive score, age, sex, race/ethnicity, insurance status (as a proxy for socioeconomic status), and leukemia risk group.
    Results: One hundred and forty-four children, 76 (52.8%) males, mean age of 9.1 (min-max, 6.0-12.0) years at diagnosis, underwent a median of 27 anesthetic episodes (min-max, 1-37). Almost all patients were exposed to propofol (140/144, 97.2%), with a mean cumulative dose of 112.3 mg/kg. One year after therapy, the proportion of children with impairment (
    Conclusion: In a multicenter and uniformly treated cohort of children with B-ALL, cumulative exposure to propofol was an independent risk factor for impairment in reaction time/processing speed 1 year after therapy. Anesthesia exposure is a modifiable risk, and opportunities to minimize propofol use should be considered.

    Abstract Purpose: Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common pediatric cancer diagnosis. Cognitive late effects develop in 20%-40% of ALL survivors, but the course of declines is unclear. The aim of this paper is to characterize cognitive functioning, and its association with patient-reported outcomes, early in treatment.
    Patients and methods: A total of 483 children with high-risk ALL, aged 6-12 years at diagnosis, consented to the neurocognitive study embedded in a prospective therapeutic trial, Children's Oncology Group (COG) AALL1131. A computerized neurocognitive battery (Cogstate) was administered 3 months post diagnosis assessing reaction time, visual attention, working memory, visual learning, and executive functioning. Parent-reported executive functioning and patient-reported physical symptoms were also collected.
    Results: Data from 390 participants (mean age at diagnosis = 9.2 years, 55.4% male) were obtained. Relatively few patients reported pain (16.0%) or nausea (22.6%), but a majority (68.5%) reported feeling at least some fatigue at testing. Mean Cogstate Z-scores were within normal limits across tasks; however, rates of impairment (Z-scores ≤ -1.5) for reaction time, working memory, visual learning, and visual attention were all higher than expected compared to the standardization sample. Patients reporting fatigue were significantly more likely to have impaired reaction time and visual attention compared to those reporting no fatigue.
    Conclusion: Findings support feasibility of computerized cognitive assessments and suggest higher-than-expected rates of impaired cognitive performance early during treatment for pediatric ALL, notably within 3 months of diagnosis, suggesting intervention efforts may be indicated. These results also highlight acute factors that may impact reliability of "baseline" assessments conducted soon after diagnosis.

    Abstract Purpose: Patients ≥18 months of age with International Neuroblastoma Staging System (INSS) stage 3 unfavorable histology (UH), MYCN-nonamplified (MYCN-NA) tumors have favorable survival rates compared with other high-risk neuroblastoma populations. The impact of select clinical and biological factors on overall survival (OS) and event-free survival (EFS) were evaluated.
    Experimental design: Patients enrolled on Children's Oncology Group (COG) A3973 (n = 34), ANBL0532 (n = 27), and/or biology protocol ANBL00B1 (n = 72) were analyzed. Tumors with available DNA (n = 65) and RNA (n = 42) were subjected to whole-exome sequencing (WES) and RNA sequencing. WES analyses and gene expression profiling were evaluated for their impact on survival. Multivariate analyses of EFS/OS using significant factors from univariate analyses were performed.
    Results: 5-year EFS/OS for patients treated with high-risk therapy on A3973 and ANBL0532 were 73.0% ± 8.1%/87.9% ± 5.9% and 61.4% ± 10.2%/73.0% ± 9.2%, respectively (P = 0.1286 and P = 0.2180). In the A3973/ANBL0532 cohort, patients with less than partial response (PR; n = 5) at end-induction had poor outcomes (5-year EFS/OS: 0%/20.0% ± 17.9%. Univariate analyses of WES data revealed that subjects whose tumors had chromosome 1p or 11q loss/LOH and chromosome 5 or 9 segmental chromosomal aberrations had inferior EFS compared with those with tumors without these aberrations. Multivariate analysis revealed that 11q loss/LOH was an independent predictor of inferior OS [HR, 3.116 (95% confidence interval, 1.034-9.389), P = 0.0435].
    Conclusions: Patients ≥18 months of age at diagnosis who had tumors with UH and MYCN-NA INSS stage 3 neuroblastoma assigned to high-risk therapy had an 81.6% ± 5.3% 5-year OS. Less than PR to induction therapy and chromosome 11q loss/LOH are independent predictors of inferior outcome and identify patients who should be eligible for future high-risk clinical trials.

    Abstract Background: Children with B-acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) are at risk for chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN). Children's Oncology Group AALL0932 randomized reduction in vincristine and dexamethasone (every 4 weeks vs 12 weeks during maintenance in the average-risk subset of National Cancer Institute standard-B-ALL (SR AR B-ALL). We longitudinally measured CIPN, overall and by treatment group.
    Methods: AALL0932 standard-B-ALL patients aged 3 years and older were evaluated at T1-T4 (end consolidation, maintenance month 1, maintenance month 18, 12 months posttherapy). Physical and occupational therapists (PT/OT) measured motor CIPN (hand and ankle strength, dorsiflexion and plantarflexion range of motion), sensory CIPN (finger and toe vibration and touch), function (dexterity [Purdue Pegboard], and walking efficiency [Six-Minute Walk]). Proxy-reported function (Pediatric Outcome Data Collection Instrument) and quality of life (Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory) were assessed. Age- and sex-matched z scores and proportion impaired were measured longitudinally and compared between groups.
    Results: Consent and data were obtained from 150 participants (mean age = 5.1 years [SD = 1.7], 48.7% female). Among participants with completed evaluations, 81.8% had CIPN at T1 (74.5% motor, 34.1% sensory). When examining severity of PT/OT outcomes, only handgrip strength (P < .001) and walking efficiency (P = .02) improved from T1-T4, and only dorsiflexion range of motion (46.7% vs 14.7%; P = .008) and handgrip strength (22.2% vs 37.1%; P = .03) differed in vincristine and dexamethasone every 4 weeks vs vincristine and dexamethasone 12 weeks at T4. Proxy-reported outcomes improved from T1 to T4 (P < .001), and most did not differ between groups.
    Conclusions: CIPN is prevalent early in B-ALL therapy and persists at least 12 months posttherapy. Most outcomes did not differ between treatment groups despite reduction in vincristine frequency. Children with B-ALL should be monitored for CIPN, even with reduced vincristine frequency.

    Abstract Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN), a common condition in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia, can be challenging to diagnose. Using data from Children's Oncology Group AALL0932 physical function study, we sought to determine if parent/guardian proxy-reported responses from the Pediatric Outcomes Data Collection Instrument could identify children with motor or sensory CIPN diagnosed by physical/occupational therapists (PT/OT). Four variables moderately discriminated between children with and without motor CIPN (c-index 0.76, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.64-0.84), but sensory and optimism-corrected models had weak discrimination (c-index sensory models 0.65, 95% CI: 0.54-0.74). New proxy-report measures are needed to identify children with PT/OT diagnosed CIPN.

    Abstract Purpose: MYCN amplification (MNA) is associated with poor outcomes in neuroblastoma. Less is known about heterogeneous MNA within a tumour. We compared clinical characteristics, biologic features and clinical outcomes of patients with heterogeneous MNA to patients with either homogeneous MNA or MYCN wild-type tumours.
    Patients and methods: In this retrospective cohort study, we categorized patients as having tumours with MYCN wild-type, homogeneous MNA (>20% amplified tumour cells) or heterogeneous MNA (≤20% amplified tumour cells). We used chi-squared or Fisher's exact tests to compare features between groups. We used log-rank tests and Cox models to compare event-free survival (EFS) and overall survival (OS) between groups.
    Results: MYCN status and heterogeneity status (if amplified) could be ascertained in diagnostic tumour samples from 5975 patients, including 57 (1%) with heterogeneous MNA, 981 (16.4%) with homogeneous MNA, and 4937 (82.6%) with MYCN wild-type tumours. Multiple clinical and biological features differed between patients with heterogeneous vs. homogeneous MNA, including enrichment for thoracic primary sites and paucity of 1p loss of heterozygosity with heterogeneous MNA (p < 0.0001). Importantly, EFS and OS were not significantly different between patients with heterogeneous vs. homogeneous MNA. Further, EFS and OS for patients with heterogeneous MNA were significantly inferior to patients with wild-type MYCN.
    Conclusion: Although neuroblastomas with heterogeneous MNA demonstrate significantly different biological and clinical patterns compared with homogeneous MNA, prognosis is similar between the two groups. These results support current practice that treats patients with heterogeneous MNA similarly to patients with homogeneous MNA.

    Abstract Background: Previous studies of the prognostic importance of FOXO1 fusion status in patients with rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) have had conflicting results. We re-examined risk stratification by adding FOXO1 status to traditional clinical prognostic factors in children with localized or metastatic RMS.
    Methods: Data from six COG clinical trials (D9602, D9802, D9803, ARST0331, ARTS0431, ARST0531; two studies each for low-, intermediate- and high-risk patients) accruing previously untreated patients with RMS from 1997 to 2013 yielded 1727 evaluable patients. Survival tree regression for event-free survival (EFS) was conducted to recursively select prognostic factors for branching and split. Factors included were age, FOXO1, clinical group, histology, nodal status, number of metastatic sites, primary site, sex, tumor size, and presence of metastases in bone/bone marrow, soft tissue, effusions, lung, distant lymph nodes, and other sites. Definition and outcome of the proposed risk groups were compared to existing systems and cross-validated results.
    Results: The 5-year EFS and overall survival (OS) for evaluable patients were 69% and 79%, respectively. Extent of disease (localized versus metastatic) was the first split (EFS 73% vs 30%; OS 84% vs. 42%). FOXO1 status (positive vs negative) was significant in the second split both for localized (EFS 52% vs 78%; OS 65% vs 88%) and metastatic disease (EFS 6% vs 46%; OS 19% vs 58%).
    Conclusions: After metastatic status, FOXO1 status is the most important prognostic factor in patients with RMS and improves risk stratification of patients with localized RMS. Our findings support incorporation of FOXO1 status in risk stratified clinical trials.

    Abstract Background: Induction chemotherapy plays an important role in the management of patients with high-risk neuroblastoma. Predictors of response to induction therapy are largely lacking. We sought to describe clinical and biological features associated with induction response.
    Methods: Patients from four consecutive COG high-risk trials were included. Response was evaluated by the 1993 International Neuroblastoma Response Criteria. The primary end-point was end-induction partial response (PR) or better. Univariate analyses were performed to compare response as a function of clinical or biologic predictors. A multivariate logistic regression model using significant predictors from univariate analyses was constructed to model PR or better.
    Results: The analytic cohort included 1242 patients. End-induction response ≥PR was significantly associated with higher event-free and overall survival. Baseline factors associated with ≥PR included age <18 months (87.4% with ≥PR vs. 78.7% if older; p = 0.0103), International Neuroblastoma Staging System non-stage 4 (89.0% vs. 78.4% if stage 4; p = 0.0016), MYCN amplification (85.5% vs. 77.1% if non-amplified; p = 0.0006), 1p loss of heterozygosity (LOH; 85.6% vs. 76.0% if no LOH; p = 0.0085), no 11q LOH (84.8% vs. 70.9% if 11q LOH; p = 0.0004) and high mitosis-karyorrhexis index (MKI; 84.5% vs. 77.5% if low-intermediate MKI; p = 0.0098). On multivariable analysis (n = 407), the absence of 11q LOH was the only factor that remained significantly associated with ≥PR (odds ratio: 1.962 vs. 11q LOH; 95% confidence interval 1.104-3.487; p = 0.0216).
    Conclusions: Improved end-induction response in high-risk neuroblastoma is associated with longer survival. Patients with 11q LOH are less likely to respond to induction therapies and should be prioritised for novel approaches in future trials.

    Abstract Purpose: The use of computed tomography (CT) for routine surveillance to detect recurrence in patients with Wilms tumor (WT) has increased in recent years. The utility of CT, despite increased risk and cost, to improve outcome for these patients is unknown. We conducted a retrospective analysis with patients enrolled in the fifth National Wilms Tumor Study (NWTS-5) to determine if surveillance with CT correlates with improved overall survival (OS) after recurrence compared with chest x-ray (CXR) and abdominal ultrasound (US).
    Patients and methods: Overall, 281 patients with recurrent unilateral favorable-histology WT were reviewed to assess how WT recurrence was detected: sign/symptoms (SS), surveillance imaging (SI) with CT scan, or SI with CXR/US.
    Results: The estimated 5-year OS rate after relapse was 67% (95% CI, 61% to 72%). Twenty-five percent of recurrences were detected with SS; 48.5%, with CXR/US; and 26.5%, with CT. Patients with SS had a 5-year OS rate of 59% (95% CI, 46% to 72%) compared with 70% (95% CI, 63% to 77%; P = .23) for those detected by SI. Recurrences detected by CT had a shorter median time from diagnosis to recurrence (0.60 years) compared with SS (0.91 years) or CXR/US (0.86 years; P = .003). For recurrences detected by SI, more tumor foci at relapse ( P < .001) and size of the largest focus greater than 2 cm ( P = .02) were associated with inferior OS. However, there was no difference in OS after relapse when recurrence was detected by CT versus CXR/US (5-year OS rate, 65% v 73%; P = .20).
    Conclusion: In patients with favorable-histology WT, elimination of CT scans from surveillance programs is unlikely to compromise survival but would result in substantial reduction in radiation exposure and health care costs.
