Brief Summary

This study adds irinotecan, temozolomide and bevacizumab to the chemotherapy regimen currently used to treat Desmoplastic small round cell tumor (DSRCT). The investigators are doing this study to find out what effects, good and/or bad, the combination of irinotecan, temozolomide and bevacizumab has on the patient and the DSRCT cancer.

Conditions

Sarcoma; Desmoplastic Small Round Cell Tumor (DSRCT)

Study Design

• Allocation Method: NA
• Intervention Model: SINGLE_GROUP
• Primary Study Purpose: TREATMENT
• Blinding Strategy: NONE

Study Groups

Chemotherapy

This is a pilot study to evaluate the acute toxicities and activity of irinotecan, temozolomide, and bevacizumab incorporated into an existing schedule of high dose alkylator based therapy in newly diagnosed patients with DSRCT.

Group Type: EXPERIMENTAL

irinotecan, temozolomide, and bevacizumab incorporated into an existing schedule of high dose alkylator

Intervention Type: DRUG

Two cycles of the investigational combination irinotecan, temozolomide and bevacizumab- will be given followed by conventional chemotherapy with a modified P6 approach and surgical local control. Completion of modified P6 chemotherapy will be followed by a second-look surgery.

• Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) greater than or equal to 50% on technetium-99m pertechnetate radionuclide cineangiography (MUGA) or echocardiogram
• Hypertension must be well controlled on stable doses of medication for at least two weeks prior to enrollment.

• Patients must be at least 48 hours from placement of central catheter before receiving first dose of bevacizumab
• Minor surgical procedures (needle/laparoscopic core biopsies) for limited purposes of tissue retrieval will be allowed. Patients should not receive the first planned dose of bevacizumab until the wound is healed and 7 days have elapsed since the procedure.

• Thrombosis:
• Patients must not have had a deep venous or arterial thrombosis (non-central venous catheter related) within the last three months prior to study entry.
• Patients with cerebrovascular accident or transient ischemic attack within 6 months of therapy are excluded
• History of abdominal fistula, gastrointestinal perforation, or intra-abdominal abscess within 6 months prior to study entry.
• CNS status: Patients must not have known CNS metastases or leptomeningeal disease.

Screening with brain imaging is not required for asymptomatic patients. Proteinuria: Urine protein: creatinine ratio greater than or equal to 1.0

• Uncontrolled hypertension (defined as SBP and/or DBP > 95th percentile for age)
• Prior history of hypertensive crisis or hypertensive encephalopathy
• NYHA Grade II or greater congestive heart failure
• History of myocardial infarction or unstable angina within 12 months prior to Day 1
• History of stroke or transient ischemic attack
• Significant vascular (e.g., aortic aneurysm, requiring surgical repair or recent peripheral arterial thrombosis) within 6 months prior to Day 1
• History of hemoptysis (greater than or equal to 1/2 teaspoon of bright red blood per episode) within 1 month prior to Day 1
• Known hypersensitivity to any component of bevacizumab

• Minimum Eligible Age: 1 Year
