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.

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Event-free survival (EFS) [ Time Frame: Time from study enrollment to the first occurrence of progression, relapse, second malignant neoplasm or death as a first event ]
    EFS distributions will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method and will be compared between the randomized treatment groups using the log-rank test.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Overall survival (OS) [ Time Frame: Time from study enrollment to death from any cause, assessed up to 10 years ]
    OS distributions will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method and will be compared between the randomized treatment groups using the log-rank test.


Other Outcome Measures:
  1. Frequency of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) at diagnosis and subsequent time-points [ Time Frame: Up to 10 years ]
    Will determine the frequency with which of ctDNA is detected in patients with intermediate-risk (IR) rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) at diagnosis and how these levels change over time with. In addition, the level of ctDNA as a percent of total cell-free DNA will be summarized by reporting the median and range. Since no prior data are available on the rate of positivity nor the change over time, the analysis will be purely descriptive. Changes over time will be plotted to visually determine and compare the trajectories of ctDNA during the early and late stages of therapy.

  2. Patient outcome based on their forkhead box O1 protein (FOXO1) partner, by evaluating PAX3 vs. PAX7 in all patients found to be FOXO1 fusion positive [ Time Frame: Up to 10 years ]
  3. Patient outcome based on their [F18]-fluorodeoxy-D-glucose-positron emission tomography (FDG-positron emission tomography [PET]) response [ Time Frame: At week 9 ]
    Assessed by Deauville Criteria (5-point).

  4. Patient outcomes based on (vincristine, dactinomycin, and cyclophosphamide [VAC]/vincristine and irinotecan [VI] with or without temsirolimus) who have received maintenance therapy on ARST1431 to those who received VAC/VI on ARST0531 [ Time Frame: Up to 10 years ]
    The two-sample log-rank test will be performed.
