Alternate Title

Trastuzumab in Treating Patients With Recurrent Osteosarcoma

Basic Trial Information

Phase Type Status Age Sponsor Protocol IDs Phase II Treatment Completed Any age NCI MSKCC-99097 NCI-T98-0083, T98-0083, NCT00005033

Objectives

1. Determine the response rate, freedom from progression, and survival of patients with recurrent osteosarcoma when treated with trastuzumab (Herceptin).
2. Evaluate the toxicity of this drug in young patients with a history of osteosarcoma and prior therapy with doxorubicin.

Hepatic:

• ALT or AST less than 3 times upper limit of normal (ULN)
• Bilirubin less than 1.5 times ULN

Renal:

• Creatinine less than 1.5 times ULN

  OR

• Creatinine clearance greater than 60 mL/min

Cardiovascular:

Expected Enrollment

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

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.
