Fig. 2 Clinical trial availability explicitly for sarcoma/RMS by phase (I/II/III), type of intervention (chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immune-related therapy, stem cell transplantation (SCT), radiotherapy, and others) and for each year of age 0–55 years over the 10-year period 1st January 2001–1st January 2011. It is of note that our search on sarcoma/rhabdomyosarcoma results in a major underestimation of phase I trials available in these patients of adult age, because this indication is often not mentioned explicitly in study description.
