Study Summary

RATIONALE: Drugs such as temsirolimus and valproic acid may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Valproic acid may also stop the growth of solid tumors by blocking blood flow to the tumor. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and the best dose of temsirolimus when given together with valproic acid in treating young patients with relapsed neuroblastoma, bone sarcoma, or soft tissue sarcoma.

Primary Outcome

The planned starting dose of Temsirolimus is 60mg/M2. The traditional 3+3 design will be used, where the MTD is defined as the dose with the probability of a DLT of 0.20
