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 drugbozantinib in combination with standard chemotherapy, and to compare the effect of addingbozantinib to standard chemotherapy alone in treating patients with newly diagnosed. Cabozantinib is in a class of medications called kinase inhibitors which blockgnals affecting new blood vessel formation and the ability to activate growthgnaling pathways. This may help slow the growth of tumor cells. The drugs used in standardhemotherapy for this trial are methotrexate, doxorubicin, and cisplatin (MAP). Methotrexateking 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 org the growth of tumor cells in the body. Cisplatin is in a class of medications knownum-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. THIS STUDY IS ENROLLING BY INVITATION ONLY - Consistent with most oncology trials, patients are not actively “recruited,” but are screened by their physician for appropriate clinical trial(s) at the time of their routine clinic visit. Occasionally, a patient may be a self-referral or physician referral, but are still screened for appropriate clinical trials at the time of their routine clinic visit. PI and staff may send copies of relevant consent forms to these patients to look over prior to actually consenting or enrolling them. This may take place at the patient's visit at which the consent is presented or the patient's next visit to the outpatient hematology/oncology clinic. Interested in participating?
