Trial summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more tumor cells. Chemoprotective drugs such as dexrazoxane may protect normal cells from the side effects of chemotherapy. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Protocol for Patients With Newly-Diagnosed Non-Metastatic Osteosarcoma - A POG/CCG Pilot Intergroup Study

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more tumor cells. Chemoprotective drugs such as dexrazoxane may protect normal cells from the side effects of chemotherapy.

PURPOSE: Phase III trial to study the effectiveness of three combination chemotherapy regimens plus dexrazoxane in treating patients who have newly diagnosed nonmetastatic osteosarcoma.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES: I. Compare the efficacy of three intensification regimens (doxorubicin vs doxorubicin plus ifosfamide vs doxorubicin plus ifosfamide and etoposide) in patients with newly diagnosed, previously untreated, nonmetastatic osteosarcoma. II. Determine the effect of postoperative dose intensification on outcome in patients with standard response to preoperative chemotherapy. III. Determine the effect of dexrazoxane cardioprotection during standard induction therapy on histologic response in these patients. IV. Evaluate biological factors that may predict outcome in these patients. V. Determine the safety of dexrazoxane administered with doxorubicin in combination with cisplatin or cisplatin and ifosfamide in these patients. VI. Determine the effect of dexrazoxane on cytotoxicity as measured by tumor necrosis at definitive surgery in these patients. VII. Assess the feasibility of administering doxorubicin with dexrazoxane cardioprotection or high dose ifosfamide with etoposide to standard risk patients who are also receiving methotrexate and cisplatin.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients are enrolled sequentially on 1 of 3 pilot intensification regimens. After surgery to completely remove the primary tumor, patients are assigned to 1 of 2 adjuvant chemotherapy groups based on percent necrosis at limb salvage. Pilot 1: (Closed to accrual as of 6/2/2000) Patients receive dexrazoxane IV followed immediately by doxorubicin IV over 20 minutes plus cisplatin IV over 4 hours on days 1 and 2 of weeks 1 and 6. Methotrexate IV over 4 hours is administered on day 1 of weeks 4, 5, 9, and 10. Patients undergo surgery on week 11. Adjuvant chemotherapy begins on day 1 of week 13. Group 1 (good response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy): Patients receive methotrexate IV over 4 hours every 3 weeks for 6 courses, beginning on week 13. Patients also receive dexrazoxane and doxorubicin every 3 weeks for 4 courses, beginning on week 14. Cisplatin is administered with the first 2 courses of dexrazoxane and doxorubicin. Group 2 (standard response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy): Patients receive methotrexate and cisplatin as in group 1 plus dexrazoxane and doxorubicin for 6 courses. Pilot 2: Patients receive preoperative therapy comprised of dexrazoxane, doxorubicin, and methotrexate as in pilot 1. Ifosfamide IV over 4 hours is also administered on days 1-5 of week 1. Patients undergo surgery on week 11, then begin adjuvant chemotherapy on week 13. Group 1: Patients receive methotrexate, dexrazoxane, and doxorubicin as in pilot 1, group 1. Ifosfamide is also administered on weeks 14 and 20. Cisplatin is administered on weeks 17, 23, and 26. Group 2: Patients receive methotrexate, dexrazoxane, and doxorubicin as in pilot 1, group 2. Ifosfamide is administered on weeks 14, 20, 26, and 31. Cisplatin is administered on weeks 17, 23, and 29. Pilot 3: (Open to accrual as of 6/2/2000) Patients receive preoperative therapy comprised of methotrexate, dexrazoxane, doxorubicin, ifosfamide, and cisplatin as in pilot 2. Patients undergo surgery on week 11, then begin adjuvant chemotherapy on week 13. Group 1: Patients receive methotrexate, dexrazoxane, doxorubicin, ifosfamide, and cisplatin as in pilot 2, group 1. Group 2: Patients receive methotrexate on weeks 13, 19, 29, 32, 35, and 36, high dose ifosfamide and etoposide IV over 4 hours on days 1-5 of weeks 14, 23, and 26, and cisplatin on weeks 20, 30, and 33. Dexrazoxane and doxorubicin are administered on weeks 17, 20, 30, and 33. Patients are followed every 3 months for 1 year, every 6 months for 4 years and then annually thereafter.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: Approximately 180 patients will be accrued for this study within 2 years.

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Aug 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 148 sites in United States, Canada, Australia, Switzerland, Netherlands and 1 more country. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Event Free Survival. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00003937, which also lists 3 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 5 Aug 2014.
