Experimental: Regimen A (VAC/VI) - Patients receive vincristine sulfate IV over 1 minute on day 1 of weeks 1-13, 16, 17, 19, 20, 22-26, 28, 31-34, 37, 38, and 40, dactinomycin IV over 1-5 or 10-15 minutes on day 1 of weeks 1, 7, 13, 22, 28, 34, and 40, cyclophosphamide IV over 60 minutes on day 1 of weeks 1, 7, 13, 22, 28, 34, and 40, irinotecan hydrochloride IV over 90 minutes on days 1-5 of weeks 4, 10, 16, 19, 25, 31, and 37. Patients also undergo primary site RT beginning at week 13 or metastatic site RT beginning at week 43 for up to 6.5 weeks. Treatment continues in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients then receive vinorelbine IV over 6-10 minutes on days 1, 8, and 15 and cyclophosphamide PO QD on days 1-28. Cycles repeats every 28 days for 24 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Patients also undergo RT as in Regimen A. Treatment continues in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients then receive vinorelbine IV over 6-10 minutes on days 1, 8, and 15 and cyclophosphamide PO QD on days 1-28. Cycles repeats every 28 days for 24 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Experimental: Regimen C (FOXO1 fusion negative, VAC/VA) - Patients receive vincristine sulfate IV over 1 minute on day 1 of weeks 1-10 and 13-22, dactinomycin IV over 1-5 or 10-15 minutes on day 1 of weeks 1, 4, 7, 10, 13, 16, 19, and 22, cyclophosphamide IV over 60 minutes on day 1 of weeks 1, 4, 7, and 10.

Summary
Brief summary
This randomized phase III trial studies how well combination chemotherapy (vincristine
sulfate, dactinomycin, cyclophosphamide alternated with vincristine sulfate and irinotecan
hydrochloride or vinorelbine) works compared to combination chemotherapy plus temsirolimus in
treating patients with rhabdomyosarcoma (cancer that forms in the soft tissues, such as
muscle), and has an intermediate chance of coming back after treatment (intermediate risk).
Drugs used 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. Combination
chemotherapy and temsirolimus may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the
enzymes needed for cell growth. It is not yet known whether chemotherapy plus temsirolimus is
more effective than chemotherapy alone in treating patients with intermediate-risk
rhabdomyosarcoma.
