Brief summary: MP-VAC-209 is a Phase I/II, open label, single arm, multi-center study to assess safety, tolerability, and antitumor activity of vactosertib as a single agent in adolescents and adults with recurrent, refractory, or progressive osteosarcoma. Vactosertib is given orally, twice a day, to people 12 years of age and older who meet the criteria for study enrollment.

Detailed description: This is a Phase I/II, open label, single arm, proof of concept, multi-center (global) study to assess safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and antitumor activity of vactosertib as a Single Agent in Adolescents and Adults with Recurrent, Refractory or Progressive Osteosarcoma or bone lesions that have progressed, relapsed or are refractory to standard systemic therapy. Adolescents are defined as subjects aged 12 to \<18-year-old.

During the Phase I part of the trial, dose limiting toxicity will be used to decide dose escalation according to the standard 3+3 rules to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and the recommended phase II dose (RP2D) in adults and adolescents.

Dose escalation will be conducted sequentially and independently in adults and adolescents, respectively. Dose escalation in adolescents will not start before dose escalation in adults is completed. Data from the Phase I part of the trail in adults will be reviewed by the DSMB before opening the Phase II part. Data from the Phase I in adolescents will be reviewed by the DSMB before each dose (de-)escalation. As soon as the RP2D in adolescents is established, adolescents will be enrolled in Phase II.

During Phase II, subjects will be enrolled at the RP2D determined independently for adults and adolescents. Data of the subjects enrolled in the Phase II will be pooled with data of subjects enrolled at the same dose level during Phase I to evaluate the efficacy in a total of 42 adult and adolescent subjects.

In all parts of the study, the DSMB will convene upon occurrence of a grade 5 or any two sequentially occurring grade 4 drug related adverse events. In such case, accrual may not resume unless the DSMB has conducted a review and offered a recommendation to continue the study.

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria

Subjects must meet all the following inclusion criteria to be eligible for enrollment:

Informed Consent/Assent Capable of giving signed informed consent which includes compliance with the requirements and restrictions listed in the informed consent form (ICF) and in this protocol.

Age ≥12 years at the time of screening

Type of Subject and Disease Characteristics

1. Subjects may be male or female and must be equal to or greater than 12 years of age. No large studies have evaluated the use of vactosertib in younger pediatric subjects, for this reason, children younger than 12 years of age are excluded from this study.
2. Subjects must have histologic verification of Osteosarcoma (OS)
3. Subjects must have measurable disease per RECIST 1.1 (Appendix C), documented by clinical, radiographic and histologic criteria, and have progressed, relapsed or become refractory to conventional therapy.

Subjects must have recovered from the acute toxic effects with ≤ Grade 1 as defined by the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) Version 5.0 of all prior chemotherapy and immunotherapy with the exception of alopecia, anorexia, bone pain, and tumor pain prior to entering this study.
5. Myelosuppressive chemotherapy: Must have adequate recovery of counts from previous treatment prior to entry onto this study.
6. Inclusion criteria include adequate renal function, ECOG performance status 0-2, and either Lansky performance status of 50-100% (\<16 years old), or Karnofsky performance status 50-100% (≥16 years old). Subjects who are unable to walk because of paralysis, but who are up in a wheelchair will be considered ambulatory for the purpose of assessing the performance score.
7. Subjects must have normal organ and marrow function as defined below:

   a. Adequate bone marrow function defined as: i. Peripheral absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 750/mcL ii. Platelet count ≥ 75,000/mcL (transfusion independent) iii. Hemoglobin ≥ 8.0 g/dL (may receive packed red blood cell transfusions) b. Adequate liver function defined as: i. Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 times the upper limit of normal for age ii. AST (SGOT) and ALT (SGPT) 2.5 X institutional upper limit of normal iii. Albumin (serum or plasma) \> 2 g/dL c. Adequate cardiac function defined as: i. Ejection fraction of ≥ 50% by echocardiogram or MUGA
8. Subjects must have the ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document if ≥ 18 years of age and an assent document if \< 18 years of age (per country).
9. Renal laboratory inclusion:
10. Relapsed osteosarcoma (first, second, third or any relapse, subject who have recovered from chemotherapy and any other investigational drug/agent treatment, radiotherapy or surgical procedure), with histological confirmed diagnosis of osteosarcoma at original presentation, and progressive disease documented by imaging within 3 months of entry into the trial.

Exclusion Criteria

The subject must be excluded from participating in the trial if:

1. Subjects who have moderate or severe cardiovascular disease

   1. Subjects who have uncontrolled intercurrent illness, including but not limited to, ongoing or active infection requiring systemic therapy, symptomatic congestive heart failure (New York Heart Association Class III/IV), uncontrolled hypertension (≥150/90mmHg), unstable angina pectoris or myocardial infarction (≤ 6 months prior to screening), uncontrolled cardiac arrhythmia, clinically significant cardiac valvulopathy requiring treatment, serious chronic gastrointestinal conditions associated with diarrhea, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirement, substantially increase risk of incurring AEs or compromise the ability of the subject to give written informed consent
   2. Subjects who have major abnormalities at the Investigator's discretion based on electrocardiogram (ECG)and Doppler ECHO and MUGA results at screening or within 14 days before screening. QT interval corrected for heart rate using Fridericia's formula (QTcF) ≥470 ms in both male and female calculated from 12-lead ECGs.
