Study Summary

Background: Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is the most common soft tissue sarcoma of childhood. Two types are embryonal RMS (ERMS) and alveolar RMS (ARMS). Dasatinib may block over-expression of a certain enzyme. Ganitumab may block a certain growth factor, which might suppress tumor growth. This drug combination may help slow tumor growth in people with ERMS and ARMS. Objective: To see if dasatinib combined with ganitumab is safe and shrinks or slows the growth of tumors in people with ERMS and ARMS. Eligibility: People any age who have ERMS or ARMS that did not respond to previous treatment and who can swallow tablets Design: Participants will be screened with: * Medical history * Physical exam * Blood, urine, and heart tests * Scans/x-rays * Tissue sample: This can be from previous surgery or biopsy. * Optional biopsy: A small piece of the tumor is removed with a needle. Participants will be asked to co-enroll in another protocol. Participants will get a drug interaction handout and wallet card that show what foods and medications to avoid. Participants will be treated in cycles. The first cycle is 35 days, and the rest are 28 days. Participants will take dasatinib by mouth daily. They will get ganitumab through an intravenous (IV) every 2 weeks. They will have a physical exam every 1-2 weeks, and urine and heart tests before most cycles. Participants will continue treatment as long as they do not have severe side effects, or their tumors do not get worse. After ending treatment, participants will have a visit. This includes repeats of the screening tests.

Primary Outcome

The safe dose or maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is defined as the dose level at which no more than 1 of up to 3-6 participants experience a dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) during the first cycle of treatment, and the dose below that at which at least 2 (of ≤6) participants have DLT as a result of the drug. A DLT is any toxicity of grade 3 or higher, with the specific exception of grade 3 nausea and vomiting of \< 5 days duration, grade 3 fever or infection \< 5 days duration, and grade 3 neutropenia
