What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing This study
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.

Summary

This early-phase trial adds three drugs—irinotecan, temozolomide, and bevacizumab—to the usual chemotherapy for newly diagnosed desmoplastic small round cell tumor (DSRCT), a rare and aggressive cancer. The study includes 15 patients aged 1 to 30 and aims to see if the combination is safe and tolerable. Researchers will also check how well the tumor responds and track survival.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
irinotecan, temozolomide, and bevacizumab (chemotherapy drugs)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a more effective treatment for desmoplastic small round cell tumor, a rare and aggressive cancer.
What could go wrong
This is a very early pilot trial with only 15 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. The added drugs may cause more side effects without improving outcomes.

Inclusion Criteria: * Age greater than or equal to 1 year, less than 30 years * Newly diagnosed, previously untreated patients with histologically or molecularly confirmed DSRCT * Adequate hematologic function: * Absolute neutrophil count ≥ 1,000/mm3 * Platelet count ≥ 100,000/mytm3 * Adequate renal function: * Normal creatinine for age OR * Creatinine clearance or radioisotope GFR ≥ 70ml/min/1.73 m2 * Adequate hepatic function: * Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x the ULN for age * AST ≤ 2.5 x the ULN for age \[in the absence of hepatic involvement of tumor\] * Normal cardiac function * Shortening fraction greater than or equal to 28% by echocardiogram OR * 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 consent to an indwelling central venous catheter. * Sexually active patients of reproductive potential must be willing to use an effective method of contraception. Exclusion Criteria: * Prior chemotherapy or radiotherapy * Pregnant or breastfeeding females * Patients with documented chronic non-healing wound, ulcer or bone fracture. * Incomplete healing from previous oncologic or other major surgery. * Surgical procedures: Patients who have undergone major surgery (including open biopsy, thoracotomy, organ resection, exploratory laparotomy, arteriovenous grafts) \<28 days prior to enrollment will have bevacizumab dosing delayed as outlined in section 9.1 * 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. * Evidence of bleeding diathesis or significant coagulopathy (in the absence of therapeutic anticoagulation). * 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
