Olaparib and Temozolomide with or without Irinotecan Hydrochloride in Treating Patients with Recurrent or Metastatic Ewing Sarcoma or Rhabdomyosarcoma Previously Treated with Chemotherapy

Trial Status: closed to accrual

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of olaparib and temozolomide in treating patients with Ewing sarcoma or rhabdomyosarcoma that has returned (recurrent) or spread to other places in the body (metastatic) or after previous treatment with chemotherapy. Olaparib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as temozolomide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Irinotecan hydrochloride may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving olaparib and temozolomide with irinotecan may be a better treatment for Ewing sarcoma or rhabdomyosarcoma.
