Part 1 (safety/tolerability): Children with relapsed or refractory solid tumors with biopsy accessible and evaluable disease will be treated with two courses of oral PK-guided sorafenib (starting area under the curve (AUC) target: 20-55 ug/ml/hr), oral cyclophosphamide (50 mg/m2/dose, daily (qd) x 21 days), IV bevacizumab (15 mg/kg/dose, every (q) 21 days) and IV atezolizumab (15 mg/kg [max dose 1200 mg] q 21 days). Tumor biopsies are required before starting treatment and after course two (Section 4.1). Biopsied tissue will be used for enrollment on MAST and to evaluate changes in T-cell infiltration. Sorafenib PK will be obtained and dose adjusted to target an AUC between 20 and 55 hr·µg/mL by Day 21 of C1. Tolerability will be defined after completion of Course 1. Part 2 will begin once the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) is determined.
Part 2 (efficacy): Children and AYA with relapsed or refractory FLC will be treated with two courses of oral cyclophosphamide and sorafenib with IV bevacizumab and atezolizumab based on the RP2D from Part 1. Tumor response will be assessed after two courses according to immunologic and imaging criteria (Section 4.1). Eligible patients with hepatocellular (HCC), desmoplastic small round cell tumor (DSRCT) or non-central nervous system (CNS) malignant rhabdoid tumors (MRT) will be enrolled on separate strata but target accrual will be determined by patients with FLC.

PK measure of sorafenib
Time frame: At the end of cycle 1 (each cycle is 21 days)]
The number of participants who have a sorafenib systemic exposure between 20 and 55 who experience sorafenib-induced skin toxicity compared to the number of participants who have a systemic sorafenib exposure outside of the 20-55 range who experience sorafenib-induced skin toxicity.
Parts 1 & 2: Intratumoral T-cell infiltration of CD8+C45RO+ cells
Time frame: At the end of cycle 2 (each cycle is 21 days)]
The number of participants whose tumors show an increase in the ratio of CD45RO+/CD3+ T cells of at least 27% OR who show an absolute increase in CD3+ cells from baseline to the end of cycle 2 (approximately 42 days from the start of therapy).

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1/2 study testing Atezolizumab, Sorafenib and Bevacizumab in people with Refractory Solid Tumor and Hepatocellular Carcinoma, run by St. Jude Children's Research Hospital at 2 sites in United States.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 31 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 May 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 2 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this combined phase mean?
Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.
Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Jessica Gartrell, MD (888-226-4343, referralino@stjude.org), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Part 1: Recommended phase 2 doses (RP2Ds) (time frame: At the end of cycle 2 (each cycle is 21 days)]). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 19 May 2026.
