Study population: Results of previous study showed high objective response but short-term activity of famitinib in advanced osteosarcoma. Given the recent success of immunotherapies, combinations of antiangiogenics with immune checkpoint blockers have become an attractive strategy. We aimed to investigate the activity of famitinib in combination with camrelizumab in patients with inoperable high-grade osteosarcoma progressing after chemotherapy.

Brief summary: hMe-Seal is a low-input whole-genome cell-free 5hmC sequencing method based on selective chemical labeling. It uses β-glucosyltransferase (βGT) to selectively label 5hmC with a biotin via an azide-modified glucose for pull-down of 5hmC-containing DNA fragments for sequencing. After selectively constructing 5hmC library, highthroughput-sequencing will be performed on an Illumina Nextseq-500 instrument. By ways of Rawdata processing, differential loci between Osteosarcoma group and control group will be detected to indentify specific epigenetic biomarkers of Osteosarcoma. From our previous trials, we identify geno sequencing related to beta-catenin pathways might have some relationship with osteosaroma primary or secondary drug resistance. Thus in this trial we try to further explore the drug resistance mechanism for advaced osteosarcoma second resistance to the combination therapy of Famitinib and Camrelizumab.

The serum human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) test must be negative within 7 days prior to enrollment in the study; and the subjects must not be in lactating period.

If the female subject has menses, has not reached postmenopausal state (absence of menses for ≥ consecutive 12 months, with no other reason found except menopause) and has not received sterilization operation (e.g., hysterectomy, bilateral tubal ligation or bilateral ovariectomy), she would be considered to have childbearing potential.
