Brief Summary

A Phase 3 multi-institutional study for treatment of children with newly diagnosed hepatoblastoma using a modified Paediatric Hepatic International Tumour Trial (PHITT) strategy incorporating a randomized assessment of sodium thiosulfate as auditory protection for children with localized disease, and response adapted therapy for patients with metastatic disease

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria: * Performance Level Patients must have a performance status corresponding to ECOG scores 0, 1, or 2. Use Karnofsky for patients \>16 years of age and Lansky for patients ≤16 years of age. * Diagnosis Patients must be newly diagnosed with histologically-proven primary pediatric HB * Emergent Treatment for HB In emergency situation when a patient meets all other eligibility criteria and has had baseline required observations, but is too ill to undergo a biopsy safely, the patient may be enrolled without a biopsy. * Prior Therapy Patients may have had surgical resection of the hepatic malignancy prior to enrollment. All other anti-cancer therapy for the current liver lesion is prohibited. * Organ Function Requirements I) Adequate renal function defined as: Creatinine clearance or radioisotope Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) ≥ 70 mL/min/1.73 m2 II) Adequate liver function defined as: Total bilirubin ≤ 5 x upper limit of normal (ULN) for age, and Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) or Alanine transaminase (ALT) \< 10 x upper limit of normal (ULN) for age. III) Adequate pulmonary function defined as: Normal pulmonary function tests (including DLCO) if there is clinical indication for determination (e.g. dyspnea at rest, known requirement for supplemental oxygen) Exclusion Criteria: * Prior chemotherapy or tumor directed therapy expect for surgical resection of the hepatic malignancy (i.e. radiation therapy, biologic agents, local therapy (embolization, radiofrequency ablation, and laser)). Therefore, patients with a pre-disposition syndrome who have a prior malignancy are not eligible. * Patients who are currently receiving another investigational drug. * Patients who are currently receiving other anticancer agents. * Patients with uncontrolled infection. * Patients who previously received a solid organ transplant.
