About This Rhabdomyosarcoma Study in Palo Alto

This is a phase II study to determine safety and efficacy of combining liposomal irinotecan with vincristine alternating with VAC in intermediate-risk patients, liposomal irinotecan with temozolomide and vincristine alternating with VAC in high-risk patients and the chemotherapy combinations when given with concomitant radiation therapy in intermediate and high risk patients. Primary Objective * Estimate event-free survival for intermediate-risk participants treated with VAC and vincristine an
