Description:
This clinical trial will evaluate 4 different strategies of chemotherapy schedules in newly
diagnosed participants with metastatic Fusion Positive (alveolar) Rhabdomyosarcoma. The
participant and their physician will choose from: Arm A) a first strike therapy, Arm B) a
first strike-second strike (maintenance) therapy, Arm C) an adaptively timed therapy, and Arm
D) conventional chemotherapy.

Purpose
This clinical trial will evaluate 4 different strategies of chemotherapy schedules in newly
diagnosed participants with metastatic Fusion Positive (alveolar) Rhabdomyosarcoma. The
participant and their physician will choose from: Arm A) a first strike therapy, Arm B) a
first strike-second strike (maintenance) therapy, Arm C) an adaptively timed therapy, and Arm
D) conventional chemotherapy.
Trial Arms
Name | Type | Description | Interventions |
---|
Arm A - First Strike | Experimental | Participants will receive 42 weeks of conventional doses of vinorelbine, actinomycin D and cyclophosphamide | - Cyclophosphamide
- Vinorelbine
- Actinomycin D
|
Arm B - Second Strike - Maintenance | Experimental | Participants will receive conventional doses of Vincristine/Actinomycin D/Cyclophosphamide (VAC) until complete response (CR) for 12-42 weeks and then switch to up to 2 years of vinorelbine/oral cyclophoshamide | - Vincristine
- Cyclophosphamide
- Vinorelbine
- Actinomycin D
- Cyclophosphamide Pill
|
Arm C - Adaptive Therapy | Experimental | Therapy with VAC that starts and stops based on response, adaptive timing of therapy, with a prolonged time to progression rather than complete remission goal | - Vincristine
- Cyclophosphamide
- Actinomycin D
|
Arm - D Conventional Therapy | Active Comparator | Participants will receive a chemotherapy combination based on published trials. An example would be 42 weeks of VAC but may also include irinotecan, doxorubicin, ifosfamide, etoposide. | - Vincristine
- Cyclophosphamide
- Actinomycin D

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Participants must have a new histologic diagnosis of rhabdomyosarcoma
- Participants must have FISH, PCR or other molecular confirmation of PAX/FOXO1 fusion
per institutional standards
- Participants must have sufficient tissue (up to 10 unstained FFPE) for correlative
testing
- All participants must have distant metastatic disease; either biopsy positive or PET
avid extranodal lesions determined by the investigator to be metastatic disease.
Patients with a single distant metastatic site that has been excised prior to study
entry are eligible
- No prior systemic chemotherapy
- Participants enrolled to Arm B, maintenance, must be able to take oral
cyclophosphamide. Note: enteral administration of cyclophosphamide is allowable.
- Pregnancy or Breast Feeding: Pregnant or breast-feeding women will not be entered on
this study, because there is no available information regarding human fetal or
teratogenic toxicities. Females of childbearing potential must have a negative serum
or urine pregnancy test within 24 hours of starting protocol therapy.
- Males and females of reproductive potential may not participate unless they have
agreed to the use of, at minimum, two methods of contraception during and after
treatment.
- Women of childbearing potential should adhere to contraception for a period of 4
months after completion of systematic chemotherapy administration
- Men who are sexually active with women of child bearing potential should adhere to
contraception for a period of 4 months after completion of systematic chemotherapy
administration
- All patients and/or their parents or legal guardians must have the ability to
understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent or assent document.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Participants with regional lymph nodes as the only site of disease are not eligible.
Distant nodal sites alone would be eligible
- Participants who are receiving any other investigational agents for rhabdomyosarcoma
are ineligible
- Participants must not be receiving any additional medicines being given for the
specific purpose of treating cancer. Alternative medications including, but not
limited to cannabis based products would not be a reason for exclusion
- Participants are ineligible if they have uncontrolled intercurrent illness including,
but not limited to:
- ongoing or active infection not expected to resolve with current antibiotic plan
- cardiac arrhythmia
- psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study
requirements
- Participants who are considered unable to comply with the safety monitoring
requirements of the study are not eligible
Maximum Eligible Age: | N/A |
Minimum Eligible Age: | N/A |
Eligible Gender: | All |
Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Primary Outcome Measures
Measure: | First Strike Event Free Survival |
Time Frame: | Baseline to 3 years |
Safety Issue: | |
Description: | Participants who choose the first strike treatment will have event free survival assessed at 3 years after initiating treatment. Event free survival is defined as time from treatment initiation to event which includes (1) any recurrence (local or regional, or distant) and (2) death due to any cause. |
Secondary Outcome Measures
Measure: | Overall Survival |
Time Frame: | 5 years |
Safety Issue: | |
Description: | The time to event endpoint of overall survival is defined as the duration of time from diagnosis to death or last follow-up, where event would be death from any cause |
Measure: | Treatment-related adverse events of a certain grade or higher |
Time Frame: | Baseline to 5 years |
Safety Issue: | |
Description: | Number of participants with treatment-related adverse events of a certain grade or higher and hematological/biochemical toxicities based on laboratory measurements as assessed by CTCAE v5.0 |
