Adjuvant therapy is an important and effective treatment for retinoblastoma. However, there is a lack of head-to-head clinical trials comparing 3 vs 6 cycles of CEV chemotherapy (carboplatin, etoposide, and vincristine) for enucleated unilateral retinoblastoma with high-risk pathological features.
To assess whether 3 cycles of CEV chemotherapy is noninferior to 6 cycles for enucleated unilateral retinoblastoma with high-risk pathological features.
DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: This double-center, randomized, open-label, noninferiority trial was conducted at 2 premier eye centers in China and included 187 patients who had undergone enucleation for unilateral retinoblastoma with high-risk pathological features (massive choroidal infiltration, retrolaminar optic nerve invasion, or scleral infiltration) between August 2013 and March 2024. The final date of follow-up was March 21, 2024.
Patients were randomly assigned to receive either 3 (n = 94) or 6 (n = 93) cycles of CEV chemotherapy regimen after enucleation.
The primary end point was disease-free survival, with a noninferiority margin of 12%. Secondary end points encompassed overall survival, safety, economic burden, and the quality of life of children.
All 187 patients (median [IQR] age, 25.0 [20.0-37.0] months; 83 [44.4%] female) completed the trial. Median (IQR) follow-up was 79.0 (65.5-102.5) months. Five-year disease-free survival was 90.4% for the 3-cycle group vs 89.2% for the 6-cycle group (difference, 1.2% [95% CI, -7.5% to 9.8%]), which met the noninferiority criterion (P = .003 for noninferiority). The 6-cycle group experienced a higher frequency of adverse events, greater reduction in quality of life scores, and increased costs compared with the 3-cycle group.
Among patients with unilateral pathologic high-risk retinoblastoma, 3 cycles of CEV chemotherapy resulted in 5-year disease-free survival that was noninferior to 6 cycles of CEV chemotherapy.

辅助治疗是视网膜母细胞瘤的一种重要且有效的治疗方法。然而,对于具有高危病理特征的单侧视网膜母细胞瘤眼球摘除术后,缺乏关于3个周期与6个周期的CEV化疗(卡铂、依托泊苷和长春新碱)的头对头临床试验。
评估对于具有高危病理特征的单侧视网膜母细胞瘤眼球摘除术后,3个周期的CEV化疗是否不劣于6个周期的CEV化疗。
设计、地点和参与者:这项双中心、随机、开放标签、非劣效性试验在中国的2个顶级眼科中心进行,纳入了187例在2013年8月至2024年3月期间因单侧视网膜母细胞瘤伴高危病理特征(大量脉络膜浸润、视神经管后段侵犯或巩膜浸润)而接受眼球摘除术的患者。最终随访日期为2024年3月21日。
患者在眼球摘除术后被随机分配接受3个周期(n = 94)或6个周期(n = 93)的CEV化疗方案。
主要终点是无病生存期,非劣效界值为12%。次要终点包括总生存期、安全性、经济负担以及儿童的生活质量。
所有187例患者(中位年龄[四分位间距],25.0[20.0 - 37.0]个月;83例[44.4%]为女性)完成了试验。中位(四分位间距)随访时间为79.0(65.5 - 102.5)个月。3周期组的5年无病生存率为90.4%,6周期组为89.2%(差异为1.2%[95%置信区间,-7.5%至9.8%]),达到了非劣效标准(非劣效性P = 0.003)。与3周期组相比,6周期组不良事件发生率更高,生活质量评分下降幅度更大,且成本增加。
在单侧病理高危视网膜母细胞瘤患者中,3个周期的CEV化疗导致的5年无病生存期不劣于6个周期的CEV化疗。
