Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Other interventions - filgrastim
Treatment: Drugs - carboplatin
Treatment: Drugs - cisplatin
Treatment: Drugs - cyclophosphamide
Treatment: Drugs - etoposide
Treatment: Drugs - thiotepa
Treatment: Drugs - vincristine sulfate
Treatment: Surgery - conventional surgery
Treatment: Surgery - peripheral blood stem cell transplantation

Experimental: Treatment (combination chemotherapy, PBSC transplant) - Pts undergo conventional surgery for diagnosis & max tumor resection. In 6 wks of surgery or when stable pts begin induction chemotherapy(cisplatin IV over 6 hrs on day 0; vincristine sulfate IV on days 0,7,14; cyclophosphamide IV over 1 hr on days 1-2; and etoposide IV over 1 hr on days 0-2. 24 hrs after the last cyclophosphamide dose, pts receive filgrastim (G-CSF) & undergo peripheral blood stem cell harvest 2 days later. Treatment repeats every 21 days for up to 3 crs. Within 6 wks after induction, pts receive consolidation (carboplatin IV over 2 hrs on days 0-1 next esc. doses of thiotepa IV over 2 hrs. Pts undergo peripheral blood stem cell transplantation 48 hrs after last thiotepa dose. Pts receive G-CSF SC daily on days 3-21. Treatment repeats every 21 days for up to 3 crs. Pts with dose-limiting toxicity due to thiotepa are removed from study. Pts are followed at 4 wks, 3 mths for 1 yr, 6 mths for 3 yrs, annually for 3 yrs or until relapse.

Summary
Brief summary
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so
they stop growing or die. Combining chemotherapy with peripheral stem cell transplantation
may allow the doctors to give higher doses of chemotherapy drugs and kill more tumor cells.

PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy plus peripheral
stem cell transplantation in treating infants with malignant brain or spinal cord tumors.
