2 cycles of ifosfamide + doxorubicin ('IA') followed by 2 cycles of ifosfamide + etoposide ('IE') prior to local control measures (surgery and/or radiation therapy). Local control with surgery and/or radiation will commence after recovery from toxicities. Patients, who undergo surgery only, will receive 2 more cycles of 'IA' followed by 2 cycles of 'IE' beginning after recovery from surgery. Patients, who receive radiation therapy in addition to surgery, will receive 2 cycles of 'IE' during radiation treatment, as doxorubicin cannot be concurrently administered with radiation therapy, and 2 cycles of 'IA' after completion of radiation treatment. 1 cycle = 21 days Doxo = Doxorubicin 37.5 mg/m2/dose IV over 15 minutes on days 1, 2 Ifos = Ifosfamide 1,800 mg/m2/dose IV over 60 minutes on days 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 Etop = Etoposide 100 mg/m2/dose IV over 60 minutes on days 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: After 4 Cycles (1 cycle=21 days)

Population: MRI imaging of the MPNST and plexiform neurofibroma component was not sufficient to allow for volumetric analysis over time. Reasons include differences in imaging technique over time and incomplete coverage of the entire tumor.

Evaluate the response of plexiformneurofibroma (if present) to neoadjuvant chemotherapy using WHO criteria and volumetric MRI analysis as a tool for response assessment

Outcome measures

Outcome data not reported

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: After 4 cycles

Population: This assessment involved 18FDG-PET and MRI imaging of the MPNST and plexiform neurofibroma component. Due to technical issues with MRI imaging, data was not reliably collected from any study participant to allow for meaningful analysis.

Evaluate the utility of fludeoxyglucose F18 positron emission tomography (18FDG-PET) and automated MRI volumetric tumor analysis as tools to assess response to treatment.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: After 4 cycles

Population: 33 patients were evaluable for response after cycle 4, response evaluation using WHO and RECIST was performed. Response evaluation was not assessed with 18 FDG-PET and volumetric MRI.

Correlate response evaluation using WHO, RECIST, 18 FDG-PET and volumetric MRI with percent necrosis in tumor specimens from patients who undergo surgery for local control after chemotherapy.

Local control with surgery and/or radiation will commence after recovery from toxicities. Patients, who undergo surgery only, will receive 2 more cycles of 'IA' followed by 2 cycles of 'IE' beginning after recovery from surgery. Patients, who receive radiation therapy in addition to surgery, will receive 2 cycles of 'IE' during radiation treatment, as doxorubicin cannot be concurrently administered with radiation therapy, and 2 cycles of 'IA' after completion of radiation treatment. 1 cycle = 21 days Doxo = Doxorubicin 37.5 mg/m2/dose IV over 15 minutes on days 1, 2 Ifos = Ifosfamide 1,800 mg/m2/dose IV over 60 minutes on days 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 Etop = Etoposide 100 mg/m2/dose IV over 60 minutes on days 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

2 cycles of ifosfamide + doxorubicin ('IA') followed by 2 cycles of ifosfamide + etoposide ('IE') prior to local control measures (surgery and/or radiation therapy). Local control with surgery and/or radiation will commence after recovery from toxicities. Patients, who undergo surgery only, will receive 2 more cycles of 'IA' followed by 2 cycles of 'IE' beginning after recovery from surgery. Patients, who receive radiation therapy in addition to surgery, will receive 2 cycles of 'IE' during radiation treatment, as doxorubicin cannot be concurrently administered with radiation therapy, and 2 cycles of 'IA' after completion of radiation treatment. 1 cycle = 21 days Doxo = Doxorubicin 37.5 mg/m2/dose IV over 15 minutes on days 1, 2 Ifos = Ifosfamide 1,800 mg/m2/dose IV over 60 minutes on days 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 Etop = Etoposide 100 mg/m2/dose IV over 60 minutes on days 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
