What this Trial Is About
The study participant has been diagnosed with non-rhabdomyosarcoma (NRSTS). Primary Objectives Intermediate-Risk * To estimate the 3-year event-free survival for intermediate-risk patients treated with ifosfamide, doxorubicin, pazopanib, surgery, and maintenance pazopanib, with or without RT. * To characterize the pharmacokinetics of pazopanib and doxorubicin in combination with ifosfamide in intermediate-risk participants, to assess potential covariates to explain the inter- and intra-individual pharmacokinetic variability, and to explore associations between clinical effects and pazopanib and doxorubicin pharmacokinetics. High-Risk * To estimate the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or the recommended phase 2 dosage (RP2D) of selinexor in combination with ifosfamide, doxorubicin, pazopanib, and maintenance pazopanib in high-risk participants. * To characterize the pharmacokinetics of selinexor, pazopanib and doxorubicin in combination with ifosfamide in high-risk participants, to assess potential covariates to explain the inter- and intra-individual pharmacokinetic variability, and to explore associations between clinical effects and selinexor, pazopanib and doxorubicin pharmacokinetics. Secondary Objectives * To estimate the cumulative incidence of primary site local failure and distant metastasis-free, disease-free, event-free, and overall survival in participants treated on the risk-based treatment strategy defined in this protocol. * To define and describe the CTCAE Grade 3 or higher toxicities, and specific grade 1-2 toxicities, in low- and intermediate-risk participants. * To study the association between radiation dosimetry in participants receiving radiation therapy and the incidence and type of dosimetric local failure, normal adjacent tissue exposure, and musculoskeletal toxicity. * To evaluate the objective response rate (complete and partial response) after 3 cycles for high-risk patients receiving the combination of selinexor with ifosfamide, doxorubicin, pazopanib, and maintenance pazopanib. * To assess the relationship between the pharmacogenetic variation in drug-metabolizing enzymes or drug transporters and the pharmacokinetics of selinexor, pazopanib, and doxorubicin in intermediate- or high-risk patients. Exploratory Objectives * To explore the correlation between radiographic response, pathologic response, survival, and toxicity, and tumor molecular characteristics, as assessed through next-generation sequencing (NGS), including whole genome sequencing (WGS), whole exome sequencing (WES), and RNA sequencing (RNAseq). * To explore the feasibility of determining DNA mutational signatures and homologous repair deficiency status in primary tumor samples and to explore the correlation between these molecular findings and the radiographic response, survival, and toxicity of patients treated on this protocol. * To explore the feasibility of obtaining DNA methylation profiling on pretreatment, post-induction chemotherapy, and recurrent (if possible) tumor material, and to assess the correlation with this and pathologic diagnosis, tumor control, and survival outcomes where feasible. * To explore the feasibility of obtaining high resolution single-cell RNA sequencing of pretreatment, post-induction chemotherapy, and recurrent (if possible) tumor material, and to characterize the longitudinal changes in tumor heterogeneity and tumor microenvironment. * To explore the feasibility of identifying characteristic alterations in non-rhabdomyosarcoma soft tissue sarcoma in cell-free DNA (cfDNA) in blood as a non-invasive method of detecting and tracking changes during therapy, and to assess the correlation of cfDNA and mutations in tumor samples. * To describe cardiovascular and musculoskeletal health, cardiopulmonary fitness among children and young adults with NRSTS treated on this protocol. * To investigate the potential prognostic value of serum cardiac biomarkers (high-sensitivity cardiac troponin I (hs-cTnI), N-terminal pro B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-Pro-BNP), serial electrocardiograms (EKGs), and serial echocardiograms in patients receiving ifosfamide, doxorubicin, and pazopanib, with or without selinexor. * To define the rates of near-complete pathologic response (\>90% necrosis) and change in FDG PET maximum standard uptake value (SUVmax) from baseline to week 13 in intermediate risk patients with initially unresectable tumors treated with induction pazopanib, ifosfamide, and doxorubicin, and to correlate this change with tumor control and survival outcomes. * To determine the number of high-risk patients initially judged unresectable at diagnosis that are able to undergo primary tumor resection after treatment with ifosfamide, doxorubicin, selinexor, and pazopanib. * To identify the frequency with which assessment of volumes of interest (VOIs) of target lesions would alter RECIST response assessment compared with standard linear measurements.
