Brief Title: Clinical Trial Evaluating Metronomic Chemotherapy in Patients With Metastatic Osteosarcoma
Official Title: A Study Multicenter Randomized to Assess the Efficacy and Toxicity of Adding Metronomic Therapy to the Standard Treatment of Patients With High Grade Malignant Osteosarcoma With Metastatic Lung Disease at Diagnosis and Primary Resectable Tumor: A Study by the Latin American Group for Treatment of Osteosarcoma
Study ID: NCT03063983
Brief Summary: Preclinical models show that a daily antiangiogenic regimen at low-dose may be effective against chemotherapy-resistant tumors. The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of maintenance therapy with continuous oral cyclophosphamide and methotrexate in patients with high grade, operable, metastatic osteosarcoma (OST) of the extremities. The primary end point is event-free survival (EFS) from randomization
Detailed Description: The study design includes backbone of 10 weeks of preoperative therapy using MAP (high-dose methotrexate, cisplatin, doxorubicin and dexrazoxane). Metastatic patients were randomized to high-dose chemotherapy for 31 weeks (arm 1) or concomitant metronomic therapy (MTX plus cyclophosphamide) such as 31 weeks of high-dose chemotherapy, followed by 73 weeks of metronomic therapy after completion of high-dose chemotherapy, totaling 104 weeks of metronomic therapy (arm 2).
