Who might be able to join this trial:
- People who are already enrolled in a related screening study called APEC14B1 and have agreed to its eligibility screening section before joining this trial.
- People who are under 30 years old at the time of joining.
- People who have been newly diagnosed with Stage I, II, III, or IV Favorable Histology Wilms Tumor (a type of kidney cancer), confirmed by a central medical review team, with a qualifying risk category assigned through APEC14B1.
- People who receive their official risk category assignment within 14 days of their initial surgery or biopsy, and who enroll in this trial by that same 14-day point (special exceptions may apply in certain circumstances — confirm with trial site).
- People whose tumor sample has been sent, or will be sent, to an approved laboratory for specific genetic testing to look for certain chromosome changes.
- People who had their kidney removed upfront (rather than after chemotherapy) and had at least one lymph node removed and confirmed as a lymph node by the central review team.
- People over 16 years old who have a performance score of 50 or higher on the Karnofsky scale, meaning they are able to care for most of their own needs (confirm with trial site).
- People aged 16 or younger who have a performance score of 50 or higher on the Lansky scale, a similar measure of daily functioning for children (confirm with trial site).
- People who will receive chemotherapy and have liver function blood test results within acceptable ranges, tested within 7 days before joining.
- People who will receive chemotherapy and have heart function results showing the heart is pumping adequately, tested within 7 days before joining (this applies specifically to Stage IV patients at the start, and to Stage II/III patients if they are later assigned to a treatment arm involving a specific heart medication).
- People living with HIV who are on effective HIV treatment and have had an undetectable level of the virus in the last 6 months.
- People (and/or their parents or legal guardians) who are willing and able to sign a written consent form.
- People whose participation meets all relevant institutional, FDA, and NCI requirements.
Who may not be able to join:
- People diagnosed with Stage V Bilateral Wilms Tumor (cancer affecting both kidneys at the same time).
- People who, in the opinion of the medical team, would not be able to follow the study procedures.
- People who have an uncontrolled ongoing illness, including but not limited to symptomatic heart failure.
- People with Stage I Favorable Histology Wilms Tumor who have a known or suspected genetic condition or syndrome that increases the risk of Wilms Tumor (such as Beckwith-Wiedemann Spectrum, WAGR, Denys-Drash, or several others), or who have certain tumour patterns in the kidney — these people are not eligible for the surgery-only treatment arm of the trial (confirm with trial site for full list of conditions).
- People who had a partial kidney removal (rather than full removal) at initial diagnosis are not eligible for the surgery-only treatment arm.
- People whose cancer had spread only to the lungs, and where all visible lung tumours were completely removed before enrolling, with at least one confirmed as cancer on pathology.
- People diagnosed with a nerve condition called Charcot-Marie-Tooth syndrome.
- People who have already received chemotherapy or radiation therapy aimed at the current tumour, unless it was given as an emergency medical necessity.
- People who may need a specific heart medication (doxorubicin) as part of this trial but who have already received that same medication for a different diagnosis in the past.
- People currently receiving chemotherapy for a different medical condition at the same time.
- People who are pregnant, as several of the study drugs may harm an unborn baby. A pregnancy test is required for anyone of childbearing potential.
- People who are breastfeeding and plan to continue breastfeeding during the trial.
- People who are sexually active and could become pregnant or cause pregnancy, and who have not agreed to use an effective method of contraception throughout their time in the study.
