Arm Description

Lymph node sampling will take place pretreatment and pre-surgery. Participants receive 12 weeks of chemotherapy (vincristine, dactinomycin and cyclophosphamide). They are then evaluated to determine how the tumor responded to treatment. Twelve additional weeks of chemotherapy (vincristine and dactinomycin) is given, followed by evaluation for tumor response. No further treatment is given, and participants are observed closely. Myeloid growth factor is given if needed. Participants also receive ^1^1C-methionine as described in the intervention section.

Lymph node sampling will take place pretreatment and pre-surgery. Participants receive 12 weeks of chemotherapy (vincristine, dactinomycin, cyclophosphamide). The tumor is evaluated to determine how it responded to treatment. Radiation therapy and/or surgical resection is performed to destroy or remove the remaining tumor. Twelve additional weeks of chemotherapy (vincristine, dactinomycin, cyclophosphamide) is given, followed by evaluation for tumor response. If delayed for medical reasons, radiation therapy and/or surgical resection is done at this time. Participants then receive 16 weeks of additional chemotherapy (vincristine, dactinomycin and cyclophosphamide). No further treatment is given, and participants are observed closely.

Lymph node sampling takes place pretreatment and pre-surgery. Participants receive 6 weeks (2 cycles) chemotherapy (vincristine and irinotecan). The tumor is evaluated for treatment response. 3 cycles of chemotherapy [vincristine, doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide/ifosfamide, etoposide (or etoposide phosphate) (VDC/IE)] are given. Dexrazoxane is given prior to each dose of doxorubicin. Radiation therapy begins at week 4 or 20 (depending on tumor location) while receiving vincristine and irinotecan. 2 cycles of VDC/IE, 4 cycles of modified vincristine, dactinomycin, cyclophosphamide (VAC), then 2 cycles of modified vincristine/irinotecan (total of 54 weeks). High risk participants also receive additional maintenance therapy beginning week 55 with anti-angiogenic chemotherapy (bevacizumab, sorafenib, cyclophosphamide).

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This study will treat participants with newly diagnosed, low, intermediate and high risk rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) using multi-modality risk-adapted therapy with standard or intensified dose chemotherapy, radiation and surgical resection. Intermediate and high risk participants will receive an additional 12 weeks (4 cycles) of maintenance therapy with anti-angiogenic chemotherapy. PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: Estimate event-free survival for intermediate risk participants treated with vincristine, dactinomycin and cyclophosphamide with the addition of maintenance anti-angiogenic therapy. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: Estimate the false negative rate and incidence of additional positive lymph nodes in participants undergoing sentinel lymph node biopsy followed by limited nodal dissection. Maintain a high local control rate in participants treated with surgery and/or limited volume proton and photon radiation without dose escalation. Define the incidence and type of failure in participants who receive risk-adapted local therapy relative to the primary tumor volume. Establish the feasibility of delivering 4 cycles of maintenance anti-angiogenic chemotherapy in intermediate and high risk patients following standard chemotherapy. Estimate the event free survival for high risk patients receiving interval dose compressed therapy and maintenance anti-angiogenic therapy. Define the incidence of CTC grade 3 and higher toxicities (and specific grade 1-2 toxicities) related to proton beam therapy.
Detailed Description
Participants will be stratified based on both a pretreatment staging system and a post-surgery surgico/pathologic clinical grouping system. Treatment for low-risk (subset 1) participants will consist of chemotherapy and radiation. Low-risk (subset 2) and intermediate-risk participants will receive chemotherapy and radiation and/or undergo surgery to destroy/remove the tumor. Intermediate-risk participants will also receive 16 weeks of maintenance chemotherapy. High-risk participants will receive chemotherapy and radiation therapy. High-risk participants will also receive additional maintenance therapy with anti-angiogenic chemotherapy.
