Preliminary Clinical Study of Entinostat in Children With Malignant Soft Tissue Sarcoma Harboring PAX-family Gene Abnormalities

Official title: A Single-Center Clinical Study Evaluating the Safety and Antitumor Activity of Entinostat in Children With Malignant Soft Tissue Sarcoma Harboring PAX-family Gene Abnormalities

Is NCT07888114 recruiting? Yes, currently enrolling (Oct 2026). This Phase 1 trial studies multiple treatments including Entinostat and VAC/VTC chemotherapy for soft tissue sarcoma.

Phase 1RecruitingBeijing Tongren HospitalNCT07888114Data as of Oct 2026Location: China

Treatment: Entinostat · VAC/VTC chemotherapy — Pediatric soft tissue sarcomas (STS) are a group of malignant tumors originating from primitive mesenchymal tissues and account for approximately 7% of childhood cancers. STS are broadly classified into rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) and non-rhabdomyosarcoma soft tissue sarcoma (NRSTS). RMS accounts for approximately one half of pediatric STS. As reported, PAX fusion-positive RMS is more aggressive than fusion-negative RMS, with higher metastatic potential and poorer prognosis. Based on the unmet therapeutic need in pediatric sarcoma with PAX-family abnormalities, this study is intended to evaluate the preliminary safety and antitumor activity of entinostat with or without chemontherapy.
