Trial 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. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Phase II Study of Recombinant Humanized Monoclonal Antibody Against HER2 for the Treatment of Recurrent Osteosarcoma

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.

Read the 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.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing trastuzumab and conventional surgery in people with Sarcoma, run by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center at 4 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Jun 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in United States. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 21 Jun 2013.
