Trastuzumab in Treating Patients With Recurrent Osteosarcoma

Phase 2
Completed
Conditions
Sarcoma
Registration Number
NCT00005033
Lead Sponsor
Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center
Brief Summary

RATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies, such as trastuzumab, can locate tumor cells and either kill them or deliver tumor-killing substances to them without harming normal cells.

PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of trastuzumab in treating patients who have recurrent osteosarcoma.

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES:

* Determine the response rate, freedom from progression, and survival of patients with recurrent osteosarcoma when treated with trastuzumab (Herceptin).

* Evaluate the toxicity of this drug in young patients with a history of osteosarcoma and prior therapy with doxorubicin.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Patients receive trastuzumab (Herceptin) IV over 30-90 minutes weekly. Treatment continues for up to 52 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. After approximately 12 weeks of treatment, patients are evaluated for response and undergo surgical resection if clinically appropriate.

Patients are followed for 1 year for survival.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: Approximately 20-40 patients will be accrued for this study within 2 years.
