About this study

Official title: A Pilot Trial of Irinotecan, Temozolomide and Bevacizumab in Combination With Existing High Dose Alkylator Based Chemotherapy for Treatment of Newly Diagnosed Patients With Desmoplastic Small Round Cell Tumor

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.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

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

    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.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. To define the tolerability

    of irinotecan, temozolomide and bevacizumab in patients with newly diagnosed DSRCT

    Measured: 2 years

  2. To define adverse event profile

    of irinotecan, temozolomide and bevacizumab in patients with newly diagnosed DSRCT

    Measured: 2 years

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. To estimate the response rate of two cycles of irinotecan, temozolomide and bevacizumab

    In patients with measurable disease. added to the initial treatment of patients with Desmoplastic small round cell tumor (DSRCT)

    Measured: 2 years

  2. To estimate survival

    with the addition of irinotecan, temozolomide and bevacizumab to the initial treatment of patients with DSRCT

    Measured: 2 years

  3. To estimate time to progression

    with the addition of irinotecan, temozolomide and bevacizumab to the initial treatment of patients with DSRCT

    Measured: 2 years

  4. To assess use of 18FDG PET-CT

    as an early indicator of response in those patients with measurable or evaluable disease

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Early Phase 1 study testing irinotecan, temozolomide, and bevacizumab incorporated into an existing schedule of high dose alkylator in people with Sarcoma and Desmoplastic Small Round Cell Tumor (DSRCT), run by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 17 inclusion and 23 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Sep 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

To define the tolerability (time frame: 2 years). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 9 Sep 2026.
