Chemotherapy
Multimodal Therapy for Rhabdomyosarcoma
Recruiting1 awardPhase 2
Jacksonville, Florida
This trial will treat people with newly diagnosed rhabdomyosarcoma with different intensities of chemotherapy, radiation and surgery based on how high-risk the cancer is. For the intermediate and high risk patients, they will receive an additional 12 weeks of maintenance therapy with anti-angiogenic chemotherapy.

PEN-866 + Chemotherapy for Sarcoma
Recruiting1 awardPhase 1 & 2
Bethesda, Maryland
This trial is studying the combination of 3 drugs to see if it can be used to treat adolescents and young adults with solid tumors, Ewing sarcoma, or rhabdomyosarcoma that returned after or did not respond to standard treatments.

nab-Paclitaxel + Gemcitabine for Sarcoma
Recruiting1 awardPhase 2
Birmingham, Alabama
This trial is testing if the combination of nab-paclitaxel and gemcitabine can stop tumors from growing in patients whose cancer has come back or did not respond to previous treatments. The study also checks if this combination is safe and tolerable. Nab-paclitaxel (Abraxane) is an albumin-bound paclitaxel that has shown clinical activity in advanced breast and lung cancer and has been tested in combination with gemcitabine for advanced pancreatic cancer, improving response rates and survival.

Chemotherapy +/− Temsirolimus for Muscle Cancer
Recruiting2 awardsPhase 3
Birmingham, Alabama
This trial is testing if adding the drug temsirolimus to standard chemotherapy is more effective for treating children and young adults with a type of muscle cancer that has a moderate chance of coming back. The chemotherapy drugs aim to kill or stop the growth of cancer cells, while temsirolimus may help by blocking certain enzymes needed for cancer growth.
Procedure
DW-MRI for Sarcoma in Young Patients
Recruiting1 award
Memphis, Tennessee
This trial is testing whether a method that doesn't involve radiation (DW-MRI) can be used instead of current methods (CT, nuclear bone scan, PET-CT) to measure how well children with sarcomas are responding to therapy, in order to reduce exposure to harmful effects of ionizing radiation.

CAR T-cell Therapy
CAR T Cell Therapy for Pediatric Cancer
Recruiting1 awardPhase 1
Seattle, Washington
This trial tests a new treatment for children and young adults with hard-to-treat solid tumors. It uses the patient's own immune cells, modified to better attack cancer cells. The study aims to see if this approach is safe and effective. This type of therapy has shown remarkable results in young patients with certain types of blood cancers.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need insurance to participate in a trial?
Almost all clinical trials will cover the cost of the 'trial drug' — so no insurance is required for this. For trials where this trial drug is given alongside an already-approved medication, there may be a cost (which your insurance would normally cover).
Is there any support for travel costs?
Many of the teams running clinical trials will cover the cost of transportation to-and-from their care center.
Will I know what medication I am taking?
This depends on the specific study. If you're worried about receiving a placebo, you can actively filter out these trials using our search.
How long do clinical trials last?
Some trials will only require a single visit, while others will continue until your disease returns. It's fairly common for a trial to last somewhere between 1 and 6 months.
Do you verify all the trials on your website?
All of the trials listed on Power have been formally registered with the US Food and Drug Administration. Beyond this, some trials on Power have been formally 'verified' if the team behind the trial has completed an additional level of verification with our team.
How quickly will I hear back from a clinical trial?
Sadly, this response time can take anywhere from 6 hours to 2 weeks. We're working hard to speed up how quickly you hear back — in general, verified trials respond to patients within a few days.
