A Study to Test the Addition of the Drug Cabozantinib to Chemotherapy in Patients With Newly Diagnosed Osteosarcoma

This phase II/III trial tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of the drug cabozantinib in combination with standard chemotherapy, and to compare the effect of adding cabozantinib to standard chemotherapy alone in treating patients with newly diagnosed osteosarcoma. Cabozantinib is in a class of medications called kinase inhibitors which block protein signals affecting new blood vessel formation and the ability to activate growth signaling pathways. This may help slow the growth of tumor cells. The drugs used in standard chemotherapy for this trial are methotrexate, doxorubicin, and cisplatin (MAP). Methotrexate stops cells from making DNA and may kill tumor cells. It is a type of antimetabolite. Doxorubicin is in a class of medications called anthracyclines. It works by slowing or stopping the growth of tumor cells in the body. Cisplatin is in a class of medications known as platinum-containing compounds. It works by killing, stopping or slowing the growth of tumor cells. Adding cabozantinib to standard chemotherapy may work better in treating newly diagnosed osteosarcoma.

Stanford is currently not accepting patients for this trial.

Eligibility


Inclusion Criteria:

   - Patients must be < 40 years of age at the time of enrollment.

   - Patients must have a body surface area of >= 0.8 m^2 at the time of enrollment.

   - Patients must have histologic diagnosis (by institutional pathologist) of newly
   diagnosed high grade osteosarcoma. Primary tumors of all extremity and axial sites are
   eligible as long as diagnosis of high-grade osteosarcoma is established. Osteosarcoma
   as a second malignancy is eligible if no prior exposure to systemic chemotherapies.

   - Feasibility Phase:

Patients must have metastatic disease and a resectable primary tumor. Designation of a
primary tumor as resectable will be determined at the time of diagnosis by the
institutional multidisciplinary team.

For this study, metastatic disease is defined as one or more of the following:

   - Lesions which are discontinuous from the primary tumor, are not regional lymph nodes,
   and do not share a bone or body cavity with the primary tumor. Skip lesions in the
   same bone as the primary tumor do not constitute metastatic disease. Skip lesions in
   an adjacent bone are considered bone metastases.

   - Lung metastases: defined as biopsy-proven metastasis or the presence of one or more
   pulmonary lesions >= 5 mm, OR multiple pulmonary lesions >= 3 mm or greater in size.

   - Bone metastases: Areas suspicious for bone metastasis based on fludeoxyglucose F-18
   (18F-FDG)-positron emission tomography (PET) scan (or whole body technetium-99 bone
   scan if 18F-FDG-PET is unavailable at the treating institution) require confirmatory
   biopsy or supportive anatomic imaging of at least one suspicious site with either
   magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computed tomography (CT) (whole body
   18F-FDG-PET/CT or 18F-FDG-PET/MR scans are acceptable).

      - Efficacy Phases (Phase 2/3)

Patients with both localized and metastatic disease are eligible for the efficacy phase,
regardless of resectability. Patients will be enrolled to two separate cohorts:

   - Cohort 1 (Standard Risk): Patients with non-pelvic primary osteosarcoma deemed to be
   resectable at the time of diagnosis by the institutional multidisciplinary team,
   without evidence of metastatic lesions.

   - Cohort 2 (High-Risk): Patients with a primary pelvic tumor, a primary tumor designated
   as unresectable by the institutional multidisciplinary team, AND/OR radiographic
   evidence of metastatic lesions.

      - A serum creatinine based on age/gender as follows (within 7 days prior to
      enrollment unless otherwise indicated):

      are not acceptable for determining eligibility.
