Recruiting studies
- NCT05304585RecruitingPhase 3
Chemo for children with early, low-risk fusion-negative rhabdomyosarcoma
This Phase 3 study tests a chemotherapy plan for children and teens with newly diagnosed, very low-risk or low-risk rhabdomyosarcoma that does not have certain gene fusions (FOXO1 fusion negative). The goal is to see if this treatment can work well while limiting side effects by matching therapy to early-stage risk.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges Up to 21 years - NCT03382158Recruiting
Learn about DICER1-related tumors through a patient registry
This registry collects information about people with known or suspected DICER1-related conditions, including certain rare chest and other tumor types. It helps doctors and researchers understand these conditions better and may support future studies.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges birth–100 years - NCT05457829RecruitingPhase 2
Testing two chemotherapy combinations for relapsed pediatric rhabdomyosarcoma
This trial compares two treatment combinations—liposomal doxorubicin plus irinotecan versus a different chemotherapy plan—in children and teens whose rhabdomyosarcoma came back or did not respond. It aims to see which option works better and is safer for children who have had prior cancer treatment.
GuangzhouAges 6 months–18 years - NCT04901702RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Onivyde plus talazoparib or temozolomide for resistant solid tumors
This trial tests whether adding Onivyde to either talazoparib or temozolomide can shrink or control hard-to-treat (refractory or recurring) cancers in children and young adults. It aims to find safer dosing first, then look at how well the treatment works—especially for Ewing sarcoma.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 1–30 - NCT06924463Recruiting
Protein Study of Rhabdomyosarcoma in Young People
This study uses a special machine to find unique protein patterns in rhabdomyosarcoma tumor samples from children and young adults. By analyzing leftover tissue from past biopsies or surgeries, researchers hope to better understand the disease and improve future treatments.

Engineered immune cells for relapsed rhabdomyosarcoma in youth
This early-phase trial tests a new immune cell therapy (CAR T cells) for children and young adults whose rhabdomyosarcoma has returned or not responded to standard treatments. The goal is to see if these specially engineered cells can find and attack the cancer.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 3–39 - NCT06836492RecruitingPhase 3
Risk-based treatment study for children with rhabdomyosarcoma
This study tests different treatment plans for children with rhabdomyosarcoma based on their individual risk factors. It aims to find the best therapy for each child, potentially improving outcomes.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges birth–18 years - NCT06816771RecruitingPhase 2
Pazopanib plus TGI/CIV for recurrent/refractory rhabdomyosarcoma in children
This trial tests a combination of two drugs (pazopanib and TGI/CIV) for children and teens whose rhabdomyosarcoma has come back or hasn't responded to standard treatment. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink tumors or slow the disease.
Jinan, ShandongAges 2–18 - NCT06721689RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
PEEL-224 with chemo for pediatric solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called PEEL-224 combined with two chemotherapy medicines (vincristine and temozolomide) for children and young adults with certain solid tumors that have come back or not responded to treatment. It aims to see if this combination is safe and works against the cancer.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 1–30 - NCT06669013RecruitingPhase 3
Chemo-immunotherapy for young people with bone or soft tissue sarcoma
This trial tests whether adding immunotherapy (a treatment that helps your immune system fight cancer) to chemotherapy can help young people whose bone or soft tissue sarcoma has come back or hasn't responded to previous treatment.
Saint PetersburgAges Up to 18 years - NCT06023641RecruitingPhase 2
Liposomal irinotecan for children with rhabdomyosarcoma
This trial tests a new way to treat rhabdomyosarcoma using a targeted drug (liposomal irinotecan) based on the tumor's genetic makeup and risk group. It aims to improve outcomes for children and young adults with intermediate or high-risk disease.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges Up to 22 years - NCT04625907RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study testing treatment options for children and adults with RMS
This study tests different treatment approaches for rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) in children and adults, including newly diagnosed high-risk cases, people needing radiotherapy, and people whose RMS has returned. It’s designed to find safer dosing and more effective therapy while checking whether participants can proceed based on health and timing requirements.
BrisbaneAges Any age - NCT07466316RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing chemo schedules for intermediate-risk rhabdomyosarcoma
This trial compares two different chemotherapy schedules for children and young adults with intermediate-risk rhabdomyosarcoma (a type of muscle cancer). One group gets a higher dose of chemotherapy over a shorter period, while the other gets a lower dose plus maintenance therapy for a longer time. The goal is to see which approach works better.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges Up to 50 years - NCT04308330RecruitingPhase 1
Vorinostat plus chemotherapy for advanced tumors in brain
This Phase 1 trial studies how safe and tolerable vorinostat is when combined with chemotherapy for cancers that have come back or are hard to treat, including tumors in the brain or spinal cord. It may help doctors find a better way to treat advanced solid tumors and CNS (brain/spinal cord) cancers.
Valhalla, New YorkAges 1–30 - NCT06094101RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Personalized vaccine for fusion-positive sarcoma patients
This trial tests a personalized vaccine made from your tumor's unique gene fusion. It's for people with certain sarcomas that have spread and are now in remission or stable after standard treatment. The vaccine aims to help your immune system keep the cancer from coming back.

CAR T cells and radiation for children with sarcoma
This trial tests a combination of targeted radiation and special immune cells (CAR T cells) for children and young adults whose bone or soft tissue sarcoma has come back or not responded to standard treatments. The CAR T cells are made from your own blood cells and are designed to attack a protein called B7-H3 found on the sarcoma cells.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for rhabdomyosarcoma?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 45 recruiting rhabdomyosarcoma studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a rhabdomyosarcoma trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a rhabdomyosarcoma trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
