International PPB/DICER1 Registry

Study Purpose

Pleuropulmonary blastoma (PPB) is a rare malignant neoplasm of the lung presenting in early childhood. Type I PPB is a purely cystic lesion, Type II is a partially cystic, partially solid tumor, Type III is a completely solid tumor. Treatment of children with PPB is at the discretion of the treating institution. This study builds off of the 2009 study and will also seek to enroll individuals with DICER1-associated conditions, some of whom may present only with the DICER1 gene mutation, which will help the Registry understand how these tumors and conditions develop, their clinical course and the most effective treatments.

Recruitment Criteria

Accepts Healthy Volunteers Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms	Yes
Study Type An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes. An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes. Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.	Observational
Eligible Ages	N/A and Over
Gender	All

Other known or suspected DICER1-related condition including ovarian sarcoma, cystic nephroma, renal sarcoma, pineoblastoma, pituitary blastoma, nasal chondromesenchymal hamartoma, ciliary body medulloepithelioma and others. 4. Individuals with known or suspected DICER1 pathogenic variation regardless of whether they have an established DICER1-associated condition. 5.

Trial Details

Trial ID: This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries.	NCT03382158
Phase Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans. Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data. Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs. Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.

Additional Details

PPB is a rare cancer of the lung presenting in early childhood, mostly commonly from birth to age ~72 months. PPB occurs within the lung or between the lung and the chest wall. There are three primary forms of PPB called Types I, II, and III PPB. PPB is related to an underlying change/mutation in a gene called DICER1 which impacts gene expression and cell growth. DICER1 mutations may also lead to the development of other tumors in children and adults. The International PPB/DICER1 Registry offers information based on previous data from Registry participants and the medical literature and collaborative efforts with international rare tumor groups. Retrospective and real-time central pathology review is encouraged. Therapy decisions remain at the discretion of the treating institution. Children with Type I PPB require surgery and sometimes chemotherapy. Therapy decisions are the responsibility of the treating institution. Surgical guidelines are presented. It is unknown whether adjuvant chemotherapy improves cure rates for Type I PPB patients. Chemotherapy options include a 22-week regimen: 4 courses of vincristine, actinomycin D and cyclophosphamide (VAC) followed by 3 courses of vincristine and actinomycin D (VA). Children with Types II and III PPB, require surgery, chemotherapy and sometimes radiation therapy. Many children with Types II or III PPB receive a single-arm multi-agent chemotherapy neo-adjuvant/adjuvant regimen of IVADo (ifosfamide, vincristine, actinomycin, doxorubicin) for 36 weeks. Second and possible 3rd look surgery may be considered for local control. Radiation therapy may be considered.

Arms & Interventions

Arms

: Type I PPB

Type I PPB is an early manifestation of this malignant disease, cured in some cases by surgery. Surgical guidelines are presented. It is unknown whether adjuvant chemotherapy improves cure rates for individuals with Type I PPB. If the treating physicians select adjuvant chemotherapy treatment, chemotherapy options include a 22-week regimen: 4 courses of vincristine, actinomycin D and cyclophosphamide (VAC) followed by 3 courses of vincristine and actinomycin D (VA). Therapy decisions are the responsibility of the treating institution.

: Types II and III PPB

Types II and III PPB are aggressive sarcomas. Surgery and chemotherapy are necessary in all cases. Surgical guidelines are presented. Many children with Types II or III PPB receive a single-arm multi-agent chemotherapy neo-adjuvant/adjuvant regimen of IVADo (ifosfamide, vincristine, actinomycin, doxorubicin) for 36 weeks. Second and possible 3rd look surgery may be considered for local control. Radiation therapy may be considered. Specific therapy decisions are the responsibility of the treating institution.

: Type Ir PPB

Type Ir (regressed) PPB is a unique, purely cystic tumor which lacks a primitive cell component. The International PPB/DICER1 Registry will enroll and follow participants with Type Ir PPB, regardless of age.

: DICER1 Gene or Cond Assoc with DICER1

PPB and the associated conditions found in PPB families suggest a familial tendency to formation of tumors. The International PPB/DICER1 Registry for PPB, DICER1 and Associated Conditions study will enroll and follow participants who have the DICER1 gene mutations or conditions associated with PPB or DICER1.
