Authorised Therapeutic exploratory (Phase II) Patients ≤50 years old with high-risk osteosarcoma (defined as metastatic osteosarcoma at diagnosis or localised osteosarcoma with poor histological response) after pre-operative chemotherapy and surgery of the primary tumour and lung metastases (if applicable).

Randomised trial evaluating mifamurtide in combination with standard chemotherapy in patients with high-grade osteosarcoma at high risk of relapse.

EU CTIS ID: 2024-514780-26-00

What this study is testing

To evaluate the impact on efficacy (event-free survival, EFS) of mifamurtide administered during 36 weeks as add-on treatment to post-operative chemotherapy, compared to post-operative chemotherapy alone, in first-line treatment of patients >2 years and ≤ 50 years with high-risk osteosarcoma (metastatic at diagnosis or localised with poor histological response to pre-operative chemotherapy).

Who can take part

You may be able to join if

  • At diagnosis : All newly diagnosed, biopsy-proven, high-grade osteosarcoma, whatever the initial extension of the disease
  • For the randomisation : Osteosarcoma classified as high risk because of at least one risk factor
  • For the randomisation : Pre-operative chemotherapy
  • For the randomisation : Screening laboratory values must meet the following criteria (using CTCAE v5) and should be obtained within 7 days prior to randomisation
  • For the randomisation : Women of childbearing potential must have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test (minimum sensitivity 25 IU/L or equivalent units of HCG) done within 7 days prior to randomisation
  • For the randomisation : Provision of dated and signed written informed consent for the randomised trial prior to any study specific procedures, sampling and analyses.

You likely can't join if

  • Low grade osteosarcoma, parosteal or periosteal osteosarcoma
  • Concurrent use with high-dose non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs, cyclooxygenase inhibitors)
  • Inflammatory or auto-immune disease, allergy or asthma requiring a chronic use of steroid treatment that cannot be stopped
  • Patients with positive test for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or known acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)
  • Patients with positive tests for hepatitis B virus surface antigen (HBV sAg) or hepatitis C virus ribonucleic acid (HCV RNA) indicating active or chronic infection
  • Prior history of other malignancies other than osteosarcoma (except for basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin or carcinoma in situ of the cervix) unless the patient has been free of the disease for at least 3 years
