Trial Information

A Randomized Phase II Trial of Bevacizumab (IND# 7921, Avastin) and Temsirolimus (IND# 61010, Torisel) in Combination With Intravenous Vinorelbine and Cyclophosphamide in Patients With Recurrent/Refractory Rhabdomyosarcoma


PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

l. To determine the feasibility of administering bevacizumab in combination with intravenous
vinorelbine and cyclophosphamide (VC) in patients with recurrent rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS).

II. To determine the feasibility of administering temsirolimus in combination with VC in
patients with recurrent RMS.

III. To estimate the event-free survival (EFS) of patients with recurrent/refractory RMS
treated with bevacizumab and VC and compare with the EFS of those treated with temsirolimus
and VC.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To estimate the initial (2 cycle) response rate of patients with recurrent/refractory RMS
treated with bevacizumab and VC and compare with the response rate of those treated with
temsirolimus and VC, and to also compare the best response rate on each regimen of protocol
therapy.

II. To evaluate surrogate biological markers in patients with recurrent RMS and to estimate
differences in these markers following treatment with bevacizumab and temsirolimus.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to histologic sub
type at initial diagnosis. Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.

ARM I: Patients receive vinorelbine tartrate intravenously (IV) over 6-10 minutes on days 1
and 8 and cyclophosphamide IV over 30-60 minutes on day 1. Patients also receive bevacizumab
IV over 30-90 minutes on day 1.

ARM II: Patients receive vinorelbine tartrate and cyclophosphamide as in arm I. Patients
also receive temsirolimus IV over 30-60 minutes on days 1, 8, and 15.

In both arms, treatment repeats every 21 days for 12 courses in the absence of disease
progression or unacceptable toxicity. Blood and tissue samples may be collected for
correlative studies.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up annually for 5 years.
