osteosarcoma maintenance therapy with ost31-164

Conditions: Bone Cancer

Summary: up to 45 patients aged 12 to 39 with osteosarcoma (bone cancer) that had recurred in the lungs and has recently been surgically removed will be enrolled. patients will receive ost31-164 infusions every 3 weeks over 48 weeks and be followed after that for 3 years.

this is a phase 2, open-label, multicenter, single-arm study in patients (12-39 years) with a recent history of pulmonary recurrent osteosarcoma that has been completely resected. planned enrollment is a maximum of 45 patients who will receive ost31-164 as a single agent every 3 weeks for 48 weeks with 4 doses constituting 1 treatment cycle (12 weeks per cycle). each patient will receive treatment at a dose of 1x109 cfu until week 48 or until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or the patient meets any other treatment discontinuation criteria. following treatment discontinuation, all patients will enter a 3-year survival follow-up period. exploratory evaluation of immune response will be conducted. if available, tissue from the recent resection will be sent to the cog biobank for future genomic and pathologic analysis by the cog.

least one resected tumor. 3. patients will not require radiographic confirmation of complete remission for enrollment. however, a postoperative ct chest scan is required as a baseline for future comparisons. https://members.childrensoncologygroup.org/files/disc/surgery/handbooks/osteobonehandbook.pdf) performance status 5. patient must have a performance status corresponding to ecog scores of

nature, potential risks, and benefits of the study. the patient and/or the parent or legal guardian must sign a written informed consent. age-appropriate assent will be obtained per institutional guidelines. contraception: female patients : 9. a female patient is eligible to participate if she is not pregnant, not breastfeeding, and at least one of the following conditions applies: 1. not a woman of childbearing potential (wocbp) as defined in the protocol or 2. a wocbp who agrees to follow the contraceptive guidance in the protocol during the treatment period and for at least 120 days

initial-therapy. 4. has cns or any extrapulmonary disease involvement at the time of the most recent episode of disease recurrence proceeding enrollment. 5. has active infection requiring systemic therapy or is dependent on or is currently receiving systemic antibiotics that cannot be discontinued before dosing.
