Brief summary

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.

Interventions

DRUGVincristine

IV push over 1 minute with dosing ranging from 0.24mg up to 1.5mg

DRUGCyclophosphamide

IV over 60 minutes with dosing ranging from 220mg to 1200mg

DRUGVinorelbine

IV push over 6-10 minutes with dosing ranging from 4mg-25mg

Actinomycin D should not be given with radiation. Will be administered through IV over 3-5 minutes with dosing ranging from 0.025mg-0.045mg

Based on Body Surface Area (BSA) round to nearest 25mg

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 or distant nodal 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. * 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 or abstinence. * 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 are 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 * Patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding are not eligible 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. * Participants who are considered unable to comply with the safety monitoring requirements of the study are not eligible

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
First Strike Event Free SurvivalBaseline to 3 yearsParticipants 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.
Second Strike Event Free SurvivalBaseline to 3 yearsParticipants who choose the second 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
Adaptive Therapy Event Free SurvivalBaseline to 3 yearsParticipants who choose the adaptive therapy 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) progression that does not respond to additional VAC dosing and (2) death due to any cause

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Overall Survival5 yearsThe 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
Treatment-related adverse events of a certain grade or higherBaseline to 5 yearsNumber 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
