Denosumab in Treating Patients With Recurrent or Refractory Osteosarcoma

Phase 2

Completed

Conditions: Refractory Osteosarcoma
Metastatic Osteosarcoma
Recurrent Osteosarcoma
Stage IV Osteosarcoma AJCC v7
Stage IVA Osteosarcoma AJCC v7
Stage IVB Osteosarcoma AJCC v7

Registration Number: NCT02470091

Lead Sponsor: Children's Oncology Group

Brief Summary: This phase II trial studies how well denosumab works in treating patients with osteosarcoma that has come back (recurrent) or does not respond to treatment (refractory). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as denosumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread.

Detailed Description: PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To determine whether denosumab therapy either increases the disease control rate at 4 months in patients with recurrent measurable osteosarcoma as compared to historical Children's Oncology Group (COG) experience or denosumab therapy produces an objective response rate greater than 5% (Cohort 1).

II. To determine whether denosumab therapy increases the disease control rate at 12 months in patients with recurrent resected osteosarcoma as compared to historical COG experience (Cohort 2).

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To investigate the pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of denosumab in subjects with recurrent osteosarcoma.

II. To describe the tolerability of denosumab in subjects with recurrent osteosarcoma.

III. To report the disease control rate and objective response rate for patients with recurrent osteosarcoma limited to bone.

IV. To investigate biological markers potentially associated with response to denosumab in patients with recurrent osteosarcoma.

OUTLINE:

Patients receive denosumab subcutaneously (SC) on day 1 (days 1, 8, and 15 of course 1 only). Treatment repeats every 4 weeks (28 days) for up to 24 months or 26 courses, whichever occurs first, in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up monthly for 1 year.

Disease Control Rate (Cohort I)	At 4 months	Disease control interval was calculated as the time from enrolment until detection of new disease or progression of an existing site of disease as determined by the treating physician. Disease control interval of at least 4 months was considered disease control success.
Disease Control Rate (Cohort II)	At 12 months	Disease control interval was calculated as the time from enrolment until detection of new disease as determined by the treating physician. Disease control interval of at least 12 months was considered disease control success.
Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) Response (Complete Response [CR] or Partial Response [PR] vs Not CR or PR) (Cohort I)	At 4 months	Per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid TumorsCriteria (RECIST v1.0) for target lesions and assessed by MRI: Complete Response(CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), \>=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; Overall Response (OR) = CR + PR.
