Summary:

      The purpose of this clinical research study is to learn if pazopanib when given in
      combination with topotecan can help to control sarcomas. The safety of this drug combination
      will also be studied. Pazopanib hydrochloride and topotecan hydrochloride may stop the growth
      of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
