Summary

This study tests a new drug called PEN-866 combined with two standard chemotherapy drugs (vincristine and temozolomide) in people aged 12 to 39 whose solid tumors, including Ewing sarcoma and rhabdomyosarcoma, have come back or not responded to standard treatments. The goal is to find the best dose and see if the combination can shrink tumors. Participants receive the drugs in 21-day cycles for up to 18 cycles, with regular check-ups and questionnaires about their well-being.
