Inclusion criteria

• Patients must be 1-30 years at the time of the biopsy that established the diagnosis of NRSTS.
• Surgical Resection: Patients who had an upfront resection prior to enrollment will be eligible if they are able to begin therapy within 28 days of resection assuming other eligibility criteria are met. Delayed resection is preferred for all patients with intermediate and high-risk disease.

• QTc \< 480 msec Adequate pulmonary function defined as:
• No evidence of dyspnea at rest, no exercise intolerance, and a resting pulse oximetry reading \> 94% on room air if there is clinical indication for determination. Anticoagulation Patients on low molecular weight heparin, warfarin (with a stable INR), or direct oral anticoagulants (DOAC) who have been on a stable dose of are eligible. Patients being treated for a pulmonary embolism or deep venous thrombosis (DVT) must have been treated for a minimum of 6 weeks prior to starting therapy treatment. Life Expectancy Patient must have a life expectancy of at least 3 months with appropriate therapy.

Exclusion criteria

• Patients with known primary CNS sarcoma or CNS metastases are not eligible. Note: Brain imaging is not an eligibility requirement. Tumors with intracranial extension will be allowed.

Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements. HIV-positive subjects on combination antiretroviral therapy are ineligible because of the potential for pharmacokinetic interactions with pazopanib. In addition, these subjects are at increased risk of lethal infections when treated with marrow-suppressive therapy. Patients who are receiving any other investigational agent(s). Pregnancy and Breast Feeding
• Pregnancy and Breast Feeding Female patients who are pregnant are ineligible due to risks of fetal and teratogenic adverse events as seen in animal/human studies.
