Abstract
PURPOSE The overall survival rate for metastatic osteosarcoma hovers around 20%. Responses to second-line chemotherapy, targeted therapies, and immunotherapies have demonstrated limited efficacy in metastatic osteosarcoma. Our objective is to validate differentially expressed genes and signaling pathways between non-metastatic and metastatic osteosarcoma, employing single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) and additional functional investigations. We aim to enhance comprehension of metastatic mechanisms and potentially unveil a therapeutic target. METHODS scRNA-seq was performed on two primary osteosarcoma lesions (1 non-metastatic and 1 metastatic). Seurat package facilitated dimensionality reduction and cluster identification. Copy number variation (CNV) was predicted using InferCNV. CellChat characterized ligand-receptor-based intercellular communication networks. Differentially expressed genes underwent GO function enrichment analysis and GSEA. Validation was achieved through the GSE152048 dataset, which identified PDGFD-PDGFRB as a common ligand-receptor pair with significant contribution. Immunohistochemistry assessed PDGFD and PDGFRB expression, while multicolor immunofluorescence and flow cytometry provided insight into spatial relationships and the tumor immune microenvironment. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis compared metastasis-free survival and overall survival between high and low levels of PDGFD and PDGFRB. Manipulation of PDGFD expression in primary osteosarcoma cells examined invasion abilities and related markers. RESULTS Ten clusters encompassing osteoblasts, osteoclasts, osteocytes, fibroblasts, pericytes, endothelial cells, myeloid cells, T cells, B cells, and proliferating cells were identified. Osteoblasts, osteoclasts, and osteocytes exhibited heightened CNV levels. Ligand-receptor-based communication networks exposed significant fibroblast crosstalk with other cell types, and the PDGF signaling pathway was activated in non-metastatic osteosarcoma primary lesion. These results were corroborated by the GSE152048 dataset, confirming the prominence of PDGFD-PDGFRB as a common ligand-receptor pair. Immunohistochemistry demonstrated considerably greater PDGFD expression in non-metastatic osteosarcoma tissues and organoids, correlating with extended metastasis-free and overall survival. PDGFRB expression showed no significant variation between non-metastatic and metastatic osteosarcoma, nor strong correlations with survival times. Multicolor immunofluorescence suggested co-localization of PDGFD with PDGFRB. Flow cytometry unveiled a highly immunosuppressive microenvironment in metastatic osteosarcoma. Manipulating PDGFD expression demonstrated altered invasive abilities and marker expressions in primary osteosarcoma cells from both non-metastatic and metastatic lesions. CONCLUSIONS scRNA-seq illuminated the activation of the PDGF signaling pathway in primary lesion of non-metastatic osteosarcoma. PDGFD displayed an inhibitory effect on osteosarcoma metastasis, likely through the suppression of the EMT signaling pathway.

A systematic review of recent phase-II trials in refractory or recurrent osteosarcoma: Can we inform future trial design? Cancer Treat Rev 2023; 120:102625. [PMID: 37738712 DOI: 10.1016/j.ctrv.2023.102625] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/22/2023] [Revised: 09/12/2023] [Accepted: 09/13/2023] [Indexed: 09/24/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVE To analyze changes in recurrent/refractory osteosarcoma phase II trials over time to inform future trials in this population with poor prognosis. METHODS A systematic review of trials registered on trial registries between 01/01/2017-14/02/2022. Comparison of 98 trials identified between 2003 and 2016. Publication search/analysis for both periods, last update on 01/12/2022. RESULTS Between 2017 and 2022, 71 phase-II trials met our selection criteria (19 osteosarcoma-specific trials, 14 solid tumor trials with and 38 trials without an osteosarcoma-specific stratum). The trial number increased over time: 13.9 versus 7 trials/year (p = 0.06). Monotherapy remained the predominant treatment (62% vs. 62%, p = 1). Targeted therapies were increasingly evaluated (66% vs. 41%, P = 0.001). Heterogeneity persisted in the trial characteristics. The inclusion criteria were measurable disease (75%), evaluable disease (14%), and surgical remission (11%). 82% of the trials included pediatric or adolescent patients. Biomarker-driven trials accounted for 25% of the total trials. The survival endpoint use (rather than response) slightly increased (40% versus 31%), but the study H1/H0 hypotheses remained heterogeneous. Single-arm designs predominated over multiarm trials (n = 7). Available efficacy data on 1361 osteosarcoma patients in 58 trials remained disappointing, even though 21% of these trials were considered positive, predominantly those evaluating multi-targeted kinase inhibitors. CONCLUSION Despite observed changes in trial design and an increased number of trials investigating new therapies, high heterogeneity remained with respect to patient selection, study design, primary endpoints, and statistical hypotheses in recently registered phase II trials for osteosarcoma. Continued optimization of trial design informed by a deeper biological understanding should strengthen the development of new therapies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with osteosarcoma who experience relapse or progression [R/P] have a poor prognosis. METHODS Data from 30 patients who experienced R/P among 59 with a diagnosis of high-grade osteosarcoma, who were younger than 40 years old between 2000 and 2019, were retrospectively analyzed to identify prognostic and therapeutic factors influencing their outcomes. RESULTS The 5-year overall survival [OS] rates after the last R/P of patients experiencing first [n=30], second [n=14], and third [n=9] R/P were 50.3%, 51.3%, and 46.7%, respectively. Multivariate analysis did not identify any independent risk factors affecting OS. The 5-year PFS rate of the 30 patients after first R/P was 22.4%, and multivariate analysis identified histologic subtype and curative local surgery as independent risk factors influencing PFS. Long [>6 mo] partial response was observed in three patients treated using temozolomide+etoposide, irinotecan+carboplatin, or regorafenib. CONCLUSIONS OS rate in the patients with osteosarcoma experiencing R/P included in this study was markedly higher than that reported previously, mainly due to the surgical total removal of tumors, even after subsequent R/P. The recent establishment of salvage chemotherapy or molecular targeted therapy may also increase survival rates in a subgroup of patients.

Abstract
Osteosarcoma is the most common primary malignant tumour of the bone. Osteosarcoma incidence is bimodal, peaking at 18 and 60 years of age, and is slightly more common in males. The key pathophysiological mechanism involves several possible genetic drivers of disease linked to bone formation, causing malignant progression and metastasis. While there have been significant improvements in the outcome of patients with localized disease, with event-free survival outcomes exceeding 60%, in patients with metastatic disease, event-free survival outcomes remain poor at less than 30%. The suspicion of osteosarcoma based on radiographs still requires pathological evaluation of a bone biopsy specimen for definitive diagnosis and CT imaging of the chest should be performed to identify lung nodules. So far, population-based screening and surveillance strategies have not been implemented due to the rarity of osteosarcoma and the lack of reliable markers. Current screening focuses only on groups at high risk such as patients with genetic cancer predisposition syndromes. Management of osteosarcoma requires a multidisciplinary team of paediatric and medical oncologists, orthopaedic and general surgeons, pathologists, radiologists and specialist nurses. Survivors of osteosarcoma require specialized medical follow-up, as curative treatment consisting of chemotherapy and surgery has long-term adverse effects, which also affect the quality of life of patients. The development of osteosarcoma model systems and related research as well as the evaluation of new treatment approaches are ongoing to improve disease outcomes, especially for patients with metastases.

Abstract
The nitrogen mustards are powerful cytotoxic and lymphoablative agents and have been used for more than 60 years. They are employed in the treatment of cancers, sarcomas, and hematologic malignancies. Cyclophosphamide, the most versatile of the nitrogen mustards, also has a place in stem cell transplantation and the therapy of autoimmune diseases. Adverse effects caused by the nitrogen mustards on the central nervous system, kidney, heart, bladder, and gonads remain important issues. Advances in analytical techniques have facilitated the investigation of the pharmacokinetics of the nitrogen mustards, especially the oxazaphosphorines, which are prodrugs requiring metabolic activation. Enzymes involved in the metabolism of cyclophosphamide and ifosfamide are very polymorphic, but a greater understanding of the pharmacogenomic influences on their activity has not yet translated into a personalized medicine approach. In addition to damaging DNA, the nitrogen mustards can act through other mechanisms, such as antiangiogenesis and immunomodulation. The immunomodulatory properties of cyclophosphamide are an area of current exploration. In particular, cyclophosphamide decreases the number and activity of regulatory T cells, and the interaction between cyclophosphamide and the intestinal microbiome is now recognized as an important factor. New derivatives of the nitrogen mustards continue to be assessed. Oxazaphosphorine analogs have been synthesized in attempts to both improve efficacy and reduce toxicity, with varying degrees of success. Combinations of the nitrogen mustards with monoclonal antibodies and small-molecule targeted agents are being evaluated. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: The nitrogen mustards are important, well-established therapeutic agents that are used to treat a variety of diseases. Their role is continuing to evolve.

Abstract
Bone sarcoma are infrequent diseases, representing < 0.2% of all adult neoplasms. A multidisciplinary management within reference centers for sarcoma, with discussion of the diagnostic and therapeutic strategies within an expert multidisciplinary tumour board, is essential for these patients, given its heterogeneity and low frequency. This approach leads to an improvement in patient's outcome, as demonstrated in several studies. The Sarcoma European Latin-American Network (SELNET), aims to improve clinical outcome in sarcoma care, with a special focus in Latin-American countries. These Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPG) have been developed and agreed by a multidisciplinary expert group (including medical and radiation oncologist, surgical oncologist, orthopaedic surgeons, radiologist, pathologist, molecular biologist and representatives of patients advocacy groups) of the SELNET consortium, and are conceived to provide the standard approach to diagnosis, treatment and follow-up of bone sarcoma patients in the Latin-American context.

Abstract
While survival rates for patients with relapsed/refractory osteosarcoma are low, kinase inhibitors have shown efficacy in its treatment. The multikinase inhibitor lenvatinib, plus ifosfamide and etoposide, showed antitumor activity in a Phase II study in patients with relapsed/refractory osteosarcoma. This Phase II randomized controlled trial (OLIE) will assess whether the combination of lenvatinib + ifosfamide + etoposide is superior to ifosfamide + etoposide alone in children, adolescents and young adults with relapsed/refractory osteosarcoma. The primary end point is progression-free survival; secondary and exploratory end points include, but are not limited to, overall survival, objective response rate, safety and tolerability, pharmacokinetic characterization of lenvatinib in the combination treatment, quality of life and quantification of baseline unresectable lesions that are converted to resectable.

Abstract
Background The COVID‐19 outbreak has resulted in collision between patients infected with SARS‐CoV‐2 and those with cancer on different fronts. Patients with cancer have been impacted by deferral, modification, and even cessation of therapy. Adaptive measures to minimize hospital exposure, following the precautionary principle, have been proposed for cancer care during COVID‐19 era. We present here a consensus on prioritizing recommendations across the continuum of sarcoma patient care. Material and Methods A total of 125 recommendations were proposed in soft‐tissue, bone, and visceral sarcoma care. Recommendations were assigned as higher or lower priority if they cannot or can be postponed at least 2–3 months, respectively. The consensus level for each recommendation was classified as “strongly recommended” (SR) if more than 90% of experts agreed, “recommended” (R) if 75%–90% of experts agreed and “no consensus” (NC) if fewer than 75% agreed. Sarcoma experts from 11 countries within the Sarcoma European‐Latin American Network (SELNET) consortium participated, including countries in the Americas and Europe. The European Society for Medical Oncology‐Magnitude of clinical benefit scale was applied to systemic‐treatment recommendations to support prioritization. Results There were 80 SRs, 35 Rs, and 10 NCs among the 125 recommendations issued and completed by 31 multidisciplinary sarcoma experts. The consensus was higher among the 75 higher‐priority recommendations (85%, 12%, and 3% for SR, R, and NC, respectively) than in the 50 lower‐priority recommendations (32%, 52%, and 16% for SR, R, and NC, respectively). Conclusion The consensus on 115 of 125 recommendations indicates a high‐level of convergence among experts. The SELNET consensus provides a tool for sarcoma multidisciplinary treatment committees during the COVID‐19 outbreak. Implications for Practice The Sarcoma European‐Latin American Network (SELNET) consensus on sarcoma prioritization care during the COVID‐19 era issued 125 pragmatical recommendations distributed as higher or lower priority to protect critical decisions on sarcoma care during the COVID‐19 pandemic. A multidisciplinary team from 11 countries reached consensus on 115 recommendations. The consensus was lower among lower‐priority recommendations, which shows reticence to postpone actions even in indolent tumors. The European Society for Medical Oncology‐Magnitude of Clinical Benefit scale was applied as support for prioritizing systemic treatment. Consensus on 115 of 125 recommendations indicates a high level of convergence among experts. The SELNET consensus provides a practice tool for guidance in the decisions of sarcoma multidisciplinary treatment committees during the COVID‐19 outbreak. The COVID‐19 pandemic has caused deferral, modification, or cessation of treatment for patients with cancer. This article presents a consensus on prioritizing recommendations across the continuum of sarcoma patient care.

Abstract
The prognosis of patients with relapsed osteosarcoma is extremely poor and the optimal treatment remains to be identified. Here, we retrospectively analysed the clinical outcomes of nine patients with relapsed osteosarcoma treated with temozolomide/etoposide. Of the two patients who received temozolomide/etoposide as palliative therapy for unresectable tumours, one remained alive with stable disease for >4 years. The remaining seven patients received temozolomide/etoposide as adjuvant therapy following resection of relapsed metastatic disease; of these, one was free from disease for 41 months. Potentially beneficial effects were observed in two of three O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase protein-negative patients, whereas all five O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase-positive patients experienced subsequent relapse. None of the patients experienced severe adverse effects requiring hospitalization. Temozolomide/etoposide is a feasible candidate as salvage therapy for relapsed osteosarcoma. Further studies are needed to verify the utility of O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase protein expression as a biomarker for predicting the response to this treatment.

Abstract
Approximately one-fourth of osteosarcoma patients have metastases at presentation. The best treatment options for these patients include chemotherapy, surgery, and radiotherapy; however, the optimal scheme has not yet been defined. Standard chemotherapy for osteosarcoma metastatic at presentation is based on high-dose methotrexate, doxorubicin, and cisplatin (the MAP regimen), with the possible addition of ifosfamide. Surgical treatment continues to be fundamental; complete surgical resection of all sites of disease (primary and metastatic) remains essential for survival. In patients whose tumors do not respond to neoadjuvant chemotherapy, early surgical resection of the primary tumor with limb-salvage surgery or amputation and multiple metastasectomies, if feasible, after the completion of adjuvant chemotherapy is a reasonable option, as the reduction of the tumor volume could probably increase the effect of chemotherapy. Advanced radiotherapy techniques, such as carbon ion radiotherapy and stereotactic radiosurgery, and molecular targeted chemo-therapy with drugs such as pazopanib or apatinib have improved the dismal prognosis, especially for patients who are medically inoperable or who refuse surgery. Given that the presence of metastatic disease at diagnosis of a patient with osteosarcoma is a poor prognostic factor, a multidisciplinary approach by surgeons, medical oncologists, and radiotherapists is important.

Abstract
Paediatric sarcomas are a heterogeneous group of disorders constituting bone sarcoma and various soft tissue sarcomas. Almost one-third of these presents with metastasis at baseline and another one-third recur after initial curative treatment. There is a huge unmet need in this cohort in terms of curative options and/or prolongation of survival. In this review, we have discussed the current treatment options, challenges and future strategies of managing relapsed/refractory paediatric sarcomas. Upfront risk-adapted treatment with multidisciplinary management remains the main strategy to prevent future recurrence or relapse of the disease. In the case of limited local and/or systemic relapse or late relapse, initial multimodality management can be administered. In treatment-refractory cases or where cure is not feasible, the treatment options are limited to novel therapeutics, immunotherapeutic approach, targeted therapies, and metronomic therapies. A better understanding of disease biology, mechanism of treatment refractoriness, identifications of driver mutation, the discovery of novel targeted therapies, cellular vaccine and adapted therapies should be explored in relapsed/refractory cases. Close national and international collaboration for translation research is needed to fulfil the unmet need.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most frequent malignant bone tumor, affecting predominantly children and young adults. Metastases are a major clinical challenge in OS. In this context, 20% of OS patients are diagnosed with metastatic OS, but near 80% of all OS patients could present non-detectable micrometastases at the moment of diagnosis. METHODS Osteogenic differentiation; doxorubicin exclusion assay; fluorescence microscopy; RT-qPCR; proteomic analysis. RESULTS Our results suggest that metastatic OS cells possess a diminished osteoblastic differentiation potential with a gain of metastatic traits like the capacity to modify intracellular localization of chemodrugs and higher levels of expression of stemness-related genes. On the opposite hand, non-metastatic OS cells possess bone-associated traits like higher osteoblastic differentiation and also an osteoblastic-inducer secretome. OS cells also differ in the nature of their interaction with mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), with opposites impacts on MSCs phenotype and behavior. CONCLUSIONS All this suggests that a major trait acquired by metastatic cells is a switch into a stem-like state that could favor its survival in the pulmonary niche, opening new possibilities for personalized chemotherapeutic schemes. GENERAL SIGNIFICANCE Our work provides new insights regarding differences among metastatic and non-metastatic OS cells, with particular emphasis on differentiation potential, multidrug resistance and interaction with MSCs.

Single-Center Experience with Ifosfamide Monotherapy as Second-Line Treatment of Recurrent/Metastatic Osteosarcoma. Oncologist 2019; 25:e716-e721.

Abstract
Background The effectiveness of second‐line palliative chemotherapy in patients with recurrent/metastatic osteosarcoma is not well defined. Several small studies (6–19 patients) have reported on ifosfamide as second‐line treatment. In this study we report our single‐center experience with second‐line ifosfamide monotherapy in patients treated for recurrent/metastatic osteosarcoma. Methods A chart review was conducted of all patients with osteosarcoma treated with ifosfamide from 1978 until 2017. Until 1997 a 5 g/m2 regimen was used, and from 1997 onwards a 9 g/m2 regimen was used. Overall survival (OS) from start of ifosfamide was the primary endpoint. Progression‐free survival (PFS) from start of treatment was also studied. To assess difference in survival between groups the log rank test was applied. To investigate the effect of ifosfamide dose and World Health Organization performance status (PS) a Cox proportional hazard regression model was estimated. Results Sixty‐two patients were selected with recurrent/metastatic osteosarcoma treated with second‐line ifosfamide monotherapy (dose of 5 g/m2, n = 26; 9 g/m2, n = 36). OS was significantly better in univariate analysis for 9 g/m2 compared with 5 g/m2 (10.9 months [95% confidence interval (CI), 9.3–12.6] vs. 6.7 months [95% CI, 5.9–7.6], respectively) and for PS (median OS PS 0, 13.0 months [95% CI, 2.3–23.8]; PS 1, 8.2 months [95% CI, 5.4–11.1]; PS ≥2, 6.2 months [95% CI, 2.2–10.3]; and unknown PS, 5.4 months [95% CI, 2.2–8.5]). In multivariate analysis only PS showed a significant difference. No difference in PFS was found between 5 and 9 g/m2 ifosfamide treatment or PS. Conclusion This study suggests that ifosfamide is an effective second‐line treatment for patients with recurrent/metastatic osteosarcoma. Implications for Practice Ifosfamide monotherapy is commonly used as second‐line treatment in osteosarcoma, although large series to support this are lacking. This retrospective study reports overall and progression‐free survival for regimens with 5 g/m2 and with 9 g/m2. This study was unable to show a significant difference in survival between 5 and 9 g/m2 but showed an important impact of World Health Organization performance status on overall survival. This study sets a standard and reference for comparison with the multiple phase II studies under development. The effectiveness of second‐line palliative chemotherapy for recurrent or metastatic osteosarcoma has not been determined. This article reports the Leiden University Medical Center experience with ifosfamide monotherapy as palliative treatment in patients with osteosarcoma.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Osteosarcoma and Ewing sarcoma, the most common primary bone tumours in young people, are curable in most patients. However, these tumours remain a significant challenge due to the complexity and intensity of treatment and its long-term morbidity and the significant proportion of patients in whom treatment is unsuccessful. This review addresses questions about current management and emerging therapeutic targets for patients with osteosarcoma, Ewing sarcoma and chondrosarcoma, the commonest bone sarcoma but more common in older patients. RECENT FINDINGS The largest collaborative international study in osteosarcoma, EURAMOS-1 determined that treatment of patients with resectable disease should not be altered on basis of pathological response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy. In view of little improvement in outcome being evident in recent years, novel therapeutic approaches are required. Putative targets and clinical trials of novel agents are discussed, including emerging targets such as poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibition and isocitrate dehydrogenase inhibition in Ewing sarcoma and chondrosarcoma, respectively. Newer radiotherapy techniques including proton beam and particle ion therapy may be important for local tumour control in selected patients. SUMMARY Collaborative studies are essential to answer current questions and investigate novel therapies in these malignancies to improve outcome and quality of life for patients.

Abstract
Primary malignant bone tumors are uncommon and heterogeneous malignancies. This document is a guideline developed by the Spanish Group for Research on Sarcoma with the participation of different specialists involved in the diagnosis and treatment of bone sarcomas. The aim is to provide practical recommendations with the intention of helping in the clinical decision-making process. The diagnosis and treatment of bone tumors requires a multidisciplinary approach, involving as a minimum pathologists, radiologists, surgeons, and radiation and medical oncologists. Early referral to a specialist center could improve patients' survival. The multidisciplinary management of osteosarcoma, chondrosarcoma, chordoma, giant cell tumor of bone and other rare bone tumors is reviewed in this guideline. Ewing's sarcoma will be the focus of a separate guideline because of its specific biological, clinical and therapeutic features. Each statement has been accompanied by the level of evidence and grade of recommendation on the basis of the available data. Surgical excision is the mainstay of treatment of a localized bone tumor, with various techniques available depending on the histologic type, grade and location of the tumor. Chemotherapy plays an important role in some chemosensitive subtypes (such as high-grade osteosarcoma). In other subtypes, historically considered chemoresistant (such as chordoma or giant cell tumor of bone), new targeted therapies have emerged recently, with a very significant efficacy in the case of denosumab. Radiation therapy is usually necessary in the treatment of chordoma and sometimes of other bone tumors.

Abstract
When pediatric, adolescent, and young adult patients present with a bone sarcoma, treatment decisions, especially after relapse, are complex and require a multidisciplinary approach. This review presents scenarios commonly encountered in the therapy of bone sarcomas with the goal of objectively presenting a consensus, multidisciplinary management approach. Little variation was found in the authors' group with respect to local control or systemic therapy. Clinical trials were universally prioritized in all settings. Decisions regarding relapse therapies in the absence of a clinical trial had very minor variations initially, but a consensus was reached after a literature review and discussion. This review presents a concise document and figures as a starting point for evidence‐based care for patients with these rare diseases. This framework allows prospective decision making and prioritization of clinical trials. It is hoped that this framework will inspire and focus future clinical research and thus lead to new trials to improve efficacy and reduce toxicity.

This review presents a pathway for the management of common clinical scenarios that arise in the treatment of bone sarcomas in children, adolescents, and young adults. Clinical trials should be prioritized when they are available, and for those times when trials are unavailable, a consensus, multidisciplinary management approach to bone sarcomas is presented.

Abstract
Osteosarcoma, a bone cancer most commonly seen in adolescents and young adults, is usually a high-grade malignancy characterized by a very high risk for the development of pulmonary metastases. High-grade osteosarcomas are usually treated by preoperative and postoperative chemotherapy and surgery, with a very limited number of active agents available. Rarer lower-grade variants such as parosteal and periosteal osteosarcoma or low-grade central osteosarcoma are treated by surgery only. Imaging to search for possible metastases focuses on the lung. Computed tomography is the most sensitive method but cannot reliably distinguish small metastases from benign lesions. Advances of local imaging and surgical reconstruction now allow the use of limb-salvage in an ever-increasing proportion of patients. While still troubled by complications, non-invasive endoprosthesis-lengthening mechanisms have led to an increased uptake of limb-salvage, even for young, skeletally immature patients. Radiotherapy is employed when osteosarcomas cannot be removed with clear margins, but very high doses are required, and both proton and carbon-ion radiotherapy are under investigation. Unfortunately, the past 30 years have witnessed few, if any, survival improvements. Novel agents have not led to universally accepted changes of treatment standards. In patients with operable high-grade osteosarcomas, the extent of histological response to preoperative chemotherapy is a significant predictive factor for both local and systemic control. Attempts to improve prognosis by adapting postoperative treatment to response, recently tested in a randomized, prospective setting by the European and American Osteosarcoma Study Group, have not been proven to be beneficial. Many agree that only increased knowledge about osteosarcoma biology will lead to novel, effective treatment approaches and will be able to move the field forward.

Abstract
Second-line treatment of high-grade osteosarcoma (HGOS) patients is based on different approaches and chemotherapy protocols, which are not yet standardized. Although several drugs have been used in HGOS second-line protocols, none of them has provided fully satisfactory results and the role of rescue chemotherapy is not well defined yet. This article focuses on the drugs that have most frequently been used for second-line treatment of HGOS, highlighting the present knowledge on their mechanisms of action and resistance and on gene polymorphisms with possible impact on treatment sensitivity or toxicity. In the near future, validation of the so far identified candidate genetic biomarkers may constitute the basis for tailoring treatment by taking the patients' genetic background into account.

Intensified Chemotherapy With Dexrazoxane Cardioprotection in Newly Diagnosed Nonmetastatic Osteosarcoma: A Report From the Children's Oncology Group. Pediatr Blood Cancer 2016; 63:54-61.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although chemotherapy has improved outcome of osteosarcoma, 30-40% of patients succumb to this disease. Survivors experience substantial morbidity and mortality from anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity. We hypothesized that the cardioprotectant dexrazoxane would (i) support escalation of the cumulative doxorubicin dose (600 mg/m(2)) and (ii) not interfere with the cytotoxicity of chemotherapy measured by necrosis grading in comparison to historical control data. PROCEDURE Children and adolescents with nonmetastatic osteosarcoma were treated with MAP (methotrexate, doxorubicin, cisplatin) or MAPI (MAP/ifosfamide). Dexrazoxane was administered with all doxorubicin doses. Cardioprotection was assessed by measuring left ventricular fractional shortening. Interference with chemotherapy-induced cytotoxicity was determined by measuring tumor necrosis after induction chemotherapy. Feasibility of intensifying therapy with either high cumulative-dose doxorubicin or high-dose ifosfamide/etoposide was evaluated for "standard responders" (SR, <98% tumor necrosis at definitive surgery). RESULTS Dexrazoxane did not compromise response to induction chemotherapy. With doxorubicin (450-600 mg/m(2)) and dexrazoxane, grade 1 or 2 left ventricular dysfunction occurred in five patients; 4/5 had transient effects. Left ventricular fractional shortening z-scores (FSZ) showed minimal reductions (0.0170 ± 0.009/week) over 78 weeks. Two patients (<1%) had secondary leukemia, one as a first event, a similar rate to what has been observed in prior trials. Intensification with high-dose ifosfamide/etoposide was also feasible. CONCLUSIONS Dexrazoxane cardioprotection was safely administered. It did not impair tumor response or increase the risk of secondary malignancy. Dexrazoxane allowed for therapeutic intensification increasing the cumulative doxorubicin dose in SR to induction chemotherapy. These findings support the use of dexrazoxane in children and adolescents with osteosarcoma.

Abstract
Background The efficacy of ifosfamide-based chemotherapy in the treatment of osteosarcoma has been investigated; however, results are inconsistent. Therefore, we reviewed the relevant studies and conducted a meta-analysis to assess the efficacy of ifosfamide-based chemotherapy in patients with osteosarcoma. Methods A systematic literature search on PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science databases was performed. Eligible studies were clinical trials of patients with osteosarcoma who received ifosfamide-based chemotherapy. Hazard ratios (HRs) were pooled to compare event-free survival (EFS) and overall survival (OS). Risk ratios (RRs) were pooled to compare good histologic response rates and adverse event incidence. Meta-analysis was performed using a fixed-effects model or a random-effects model according to heterogeneity. Results A total of seven randomized controlled trials were included in this meta-analysis. Pooled results showed that ifosfamide-based chemotherapy significantly improved EFS (HR=0.72, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.63, 0.82; P=0.000) and OS (HR=0.83, 95% CI: 0.70, 0.99; P=0.034); furthermore, this form of chemotherapy increased good histologic response rate (RR=1.27, 95% CI: 1.10, 1.46; P=0.001). In addition, patients in the ifosfamide group exhibited a significantly higher incidence of fever (RR=2.23, 95% CI: 1.42, 3.50; P=0.000) and required more frequent platelet transfusion (RR=1.92, 95% CI: 1.23, 3.01; P=0.004). Conclusion This meta-analysis confirmed that ifosfamide-based chemotherapy can significantly improve EFS and OS; this chemotherapy can also increase good histologic response rate in patients with osteosarcoma. However, evidence may be limited by potential biases and confounders. Thus, large-scale well-designed randomized controlled trials are needed to verify current findings.

Abstract
The objective of this study is to evaluate retrospectively the effectiveness of multiple-drug chemotherapeutics regimen that included high-dose methotrexate (HD-MTX) for treating primary osteosarcoma. 148 newly diagnosed patients with Stage I and II osteosarcoma who received HD-MTX/HD-MTX/DDP(cisplatin)/ADM(doxorubicin) and/or HD-MTX/IFO(Ifosfamide)/DDP/ADM before and after the surgery were retrospectively analyzed to measure the efficacy of this regimen. The significance of various variables as predictive prognostic factors of the patient survival rate was also evaluated. The overall 3-year survival rate of the patients was 79.73 %. The survival rate was improved to 85.71 % in the patients who received surgery and a complete 4-cycle chemotherapy. In addition, the rates of disease-free survival (DFS), local recurrence, and distant metastasis were 68.13, 3.30, and 10.81 %, respectively. Our analysis showed that completing 4-cycle chemotherapy produced a significant impact on the overall 3-year survival and DFS rates (P < 0.05). The overall 3-year survival was correlated with pathological fracture, chemotherapy completion, histological response, local recurrence, and distance metastasis (single-factor P < 0.05). Multivariate analysis further evidenced that these predictive factors were independently correlated to the survival rate (multi-factor P < 0.05). The complete 4-cycle multiple-drug chemotherapy consisting of HD-MTX, doxorubicin, cisplatin, and ifosfamide combined with surgical resection was found to be effective in improving the survival rate of osteosarcoma patients. Furthermore, the presence of pathological fracture, poor histological response, local recurrence, and distant metastasis was negatively correlated with the survival rate. Patient age, gender, location of primary tumor, and serum alkaline phosphatase level were not found to show the prognostic significance.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Despite a large number of publications on outcomes of second-line chemotherapy for osteosarcoma, there is little consensus on efficacy of the therapy. OBJECTIVE Our objective was to systematically categorize published evidence for chemotherapy for metastatic, relapsed and refractory osteosarcoma in order to provide an updated and comprehensive analysis of the clinical outcomes. METHODS We performed a search of PubMed and EMBASE to identify published articles reporting on validated clinical outcomes measures (the rate of complete response [CR] and partial response [PR], the rate of stable disease [SD] and progressive disease [PD] and the 5-year overall survival) after chemotherapy in patients with metastatic, relapsed and refractory osteosarcoma. A total of 20 articles were identified and stratified by different regimens. Finally, six regimens that have at least two drugs were reviewed. Weighted averages of each outcome were computed. RESULTS The weighted average overall response rate (CR + PR) for the combination of ifosfamide, etoposide and high-dose methotrexate therapy was 62 %, and the tumor control rate (CR + PR + SD) was 92.3 %; the highest of all six regimens. The weighted average overall response rate and tumor control rate of ifosfamide-etoposide therapy (41.7 and 77.9 %, respectively) were the highest of the two-drug regimens. Weighted average overall response rate and tumor control rate for the remaining regimens were 20.5 and 56.8 %, respectively, for cyclophosphamide-etoposide; 30.0 and 73.5 % for ifosfamide, carboplatin, and etoposide; 12.0 and 40.0 % for cyclophosphamide-topotecan; and 14.5 and 36.4 % for gemcitabine-docetaxel. CONCLUSION A chemotherapy regimen comprising both a cell cycle-specific drug and a cell cycle-nonspecific drug could increase response rates. The combination of ifosfamide and etoposide therapy is our first choice in two-drug regimens. Regarding three-drug regimens, adding a cell cycle-specific drug to ifosfamide-etoposide therapy may result in a better response rate than adding a cell cycle-nonspecific drug, or any other two-drug regimens in current studies. Hence, we recommend the use of second-line chemotherapy based on the combination ifosfamide-etoposide regimen in patients with metastatic, relapsed and refractory osteosarcoma.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Four international study groups undertook a large study in resectable osteosarcoma, which included two randomised controlled trials, to determine the effect on survival of changing post-operative chemotherapy based on histological response. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients with resectable osteosarcoma aged ≤40 years were treated with the MAP regimen, comprising pre-operatively of two 5-week cycles of cisplatin 120 mg/m(2), doxorubicin 75 mg/m(2), methotrexate 12 g/m(2) × 2 (MAP) and post-operatively two further cycles of MAP and two cycles of just MA. Patients were randomised after surgery. Those with ≥10% viable tumour in the resected specimen received MAP or MAP with ifosfamide and etoposide. Those with <10% viable tumour were allocated to MAP or MAP followed by pegylated interferon. Longitudinal evaluation of quality of life was undertaken. RESULTS Recruitment was completed to the largest osteosarcoma study to date in 75 months. Commencing March 2005, 2260 patients were registered from 326 centres across 17 countries. About 1334 of 2260 registered patients (59%) were randomised. Pre-operative chemotherapy was completed according to protocol in 94%. Grade 3-4 neutropenia affected 83% of cycles and 59% were complicated by infection. There were three (0.13%) deaths related to pre-operative chemotherapy. At definitive surgery, 50% of patients had at least 90% necrosis in the resected specimen. CONCLUSIONS New models of collaboration are required to successfully conduct trials to improve outcomes of patients with rare cancers; EURAMOS-1 demonstrates achievability. Considerable regulatory, financial and operational challenges must be overcome to develop similar studies in the future. The trial is registered as NCT00134030 and ISRCTN 67613327.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with metastatic osteosarcoma at diagnosis or axial primary tumors have a poor prognosis. The aim of the study was to evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of intensified treatment with high-dose chemotherapy (HDCT) and stem cell rescue in this group. METHODS From May 1996 to August 2004, 71 patients were included in a Scandinavian-Italian single arm phase II study. Preoperative chemotherapy included methotrexate, doxorubicin, cisplatin and ifosfamide, and postoperative treatment consisted of two cycles of doxorubicin, one cycle of cyclophosphamide and etoposide and two courses of high-dose etoposide and carboplatin with stem cell rescue. RESULTS Twenty-nine patients (43%) received two courses and 10 patients (15%) received one course of HDCT. HDCT was associated with significant toxicity, but no treatment-related deaths were recorded. Fourteen patients (20%) had disease progression before completion of the study protocol, and only 29/71 patients (41%) received the full planned treatment. Median event-free survival (EFS) was 18 months, and estimated 5-year EFS was 27%. Median overall survival (OS) was 34 months, and estimated 5-year OS was 31%. When patients who did not receive HDCT due to disease progression were excluded, there was no difference in EFS (P = 0.72) or OS (P = 0.49) between patients who did or did not receive HDCT. CONCLUSIONS The administration of high-dose chemotherapy with stem cell rescue was feasible, but associated with significant toxicity. Patient outcome seemed comparable to previous studies using conventional chemotherapy. We conclude that HDCT with carboplatin and etoposide should not be further explored as a treatment strategy in high-risk osteosarcoma.

Abstract
Adjuvant therapy employing cytotoxic chemotherapy, molecularly targeted agents, immunologic, and hormonal agents has shown a significant impact upon a variety of solid tumors. The principles that guide adjuvant therapy differ among various tumor types and specific modalities, but generally indicate a greater impact of therapy in the postsurgical setting of micrometastatic disease, for which adjuvant therapy is commonly pursued, vs. the setting of gross unresectable disease. This review of adjuvant therapies in current use for five major solid tumors highlights the rationale for current effective adjuvant therapy, and draws comparisons between the adjuvant regimens that have found application in solid tumors.

Abstract
Osteosarcoma is the most common primary tumor of bone. Approximately 2/3 of patients who present with localized osteosarcoma can be expected to be cured of their disease with surgery and routine chemotherapy. Only 1/3 of patients with metastases detectable at presentation will be cured. These survival trends have stagnated over the past 20 years using conventional chemotherapy. New agents need to be rationally investigated to strive for improvement in the survival of patients diagnosed with osteosarcoma. This manuscript will review the rationale for conventional chemotherapy used in the treatment of osteosarcoma, as well as agents in varying stages of development that may have promise for treatment in the future.

Comprehensive analysis of published phase I/II clinical trials between 1990-2010 in osteosarcoma and Ewing sarcoma confirms limited outcomes and need for translational investment. Clin Sarcoma Res 2012; 2:5. [PMID: 22587841 PMCID: PMC3351714 DOI: 10.1186/2045-3329-2-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 26] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/23/2011] [Accepted: 01/27/2012] [Indexed: 02/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Background High grade primary bone sarcomas are rare cancers that affect mostly children and young adults. Osteosarcoma and Ewing sarcoma are the most common histological subtypes in this age group, with current multimodality treatment strategies achieving 55-70% overall survival. As there remains an urgent need to develop new therapeutic interventions, we have reviewed published phase I/II trials that have been reported for osteosarcoma and Ewing sarcoma in the last twenty years. Results We conducted a literature search for clinical trials between 1990 and 2010, either for trials enrolling bone sarcoma patients as part of a general sarcoma indication or trials specifically in osteosarcoma and Ewing sarcoma. We identified 42 clinical trials that fulfilled our search criteria for general sarcoma that enrolled these patient groups, and eight and twenty specific trials for Ewing and osteosarcoma patients, respectively. For the phase I trials which enrolled different tumour types our results were incomplete, because the sarcoma patients were not mentioned in the PubMed abstract. A total of 3,736 sarcoma patients were included in these trials over this period, 1,114 for osteosarcoma and 1,263 for Ewing sarcoma. As a proportion of the worldwide disease burden over this period, these numbers reflect a very small percentage of the potential patient recruitment, approximately 0.6% for Ewing sarcoma and 0.2% for osteosarcoma. However, these data show an increase in recent activity overall and suggest there is still much room for improvement in the current trial development structures. Conclusion Lack of resources and commercial investment will inevitably limit opportunity to develop sufficiently rapid improvements in clinical outcomes. International collaboration exists in many well founded co-operative groups for phase III trials, but progress may be more effective if there were also more investment of molecular and translational research into disease focused phase I/II clinical trials. Examples of new models for early translational and early phase trial collaboration include the European based EuroBoNeT network, the Sarcoma Alliance for Research through Collaboration network (SARC) and the new European collaborative translational trial network, EuroSarc.

Abstract
Sarcomas are a heterogeneous group of relatively rare mesenchymal neoplasms. They can be grouped into two general categories: soft tissue sarcoma (STS) and primary bone sarcoma, which are treated differently. Because sarcomas are relatively rare and complex with a wide variety of different histopathologic subtypes, evaluation by multidisciplinary teams who have expertise in the field is recommended. Treatment guidelines for the use of chemotherapy in patients with STS and bone sarcoma have been published by the National Comprehensive Cancer Network. The role of adjuvant chemotherapy in resected STS remains controversial. Although chemotherapy improves disease-free survival, the long-term overall survival benefit remains unproven. Chemotherapy is typically used as palliative treatment for most subtypes of metastatic STS. In contrast, chemotherapy has a proven role in the treatment of primary bone tumors and Ewing sarcoma, but it has not demonstrated efficacy in the treatment of chondrosarcoma. The standard chemotherapy regimens used in sarcoma are associated with significant toxicity, including long-term complications. Less intense and less toxic regimens are the focus of ongoing clinical research. Newer cytotoxic agents with an improved safety profile, such as trabectedin and palifosfamide, are currently in development. Future research needs to focus on identification of subpopulations of patients that are most likely to benefit from chemotherapy.

Abstract
PURPOSE To improve outcomes in localized osteosarcoma and to reduce the duration of preoperative chemotherapy, we conducted a phase ii trial assessing the efficacy of an intensive protracted regimen without methotrexate (api-ai regimen) in adolescent and adult patients with newly diagnosed disease. PATIENTS AND METHODS Induction chemotherapy consisted of 2 cycles (4 courses) of doxorubicin 60 mg/m(2) (days 1 and 15), cisplatin 100 mg/m(2) (day 1), and ifosfamide 5 g/m(2) (days 2 and 15). The primary endpoint was good histologic response [ghr (≤5% identifiable tumour cells)]. RESULTS From March 1993 to March 2000, 32 patients [median age: 21 years (range: 15-49 years)] were administered 126 induction courses. The median time between chemotherapy courses was 15 days (range: 12-32 days). All but 3 patients underwent conservative surgery. Toxicity was mainly hematologic, with febrile neutropenia occurring in 35% of patients and grades 3-4 thrombocytopenia in 35%. The ghr rate was 47%. The median follow-up was 64 months (range: 30-115 months). The 5-year event-free and overall survivals were 65% [95% confidence interval (ci): 48%-79%] and 69% (95% ci: 50%-83%) respectively. Two secondary hematologic malignancies occurred: 1 acute myelocytic leukemia (M5) in a poor responder with concomitant relapse, and 1 myelodysplastic syndrome in a patient achieving ghr. CONCLUSIONS Despite hematologic toxicity, the results observed with the api-ai regimen compare favourably with those observed during previous induction chemotherapy containing methotrexate in adult patients and the pediatric population treated at our institution. These promising results have to be validated by an ongoing national multicentre trial coordinated by the French Sarcoma Group.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A phase 2 trial was carried out to assess the antineoplastic activity of 2 courses of cyclophosphamide-etoposide in relapsed osteosarcoma patients. METHODS Twenty-six relapsed osteosarcoma patients with a median age of 18.5 years (8.3-47.1) were enrolled. Seven patients were in first relapse (27%), 11 in second relapse (42%), 7 in third relapse (27%), and 1 in fourth relapse (4%). Eighteen patients had bone metastasis at study entry (69%). Cyclophosphamide was given at 4 g/m(2) on Day 1 followed by etoposide at 200 mg/m(2) on Days 2, 3, and 4. Second cyclophosphamide and etoposide was planned at 21 days to 28 days from the previous one. The primary endpoint of the study was the clinical benefit at 4 months measured as progression-free survival. RESULTS Progression-free survival at 4 months was 42%. Five patients achieved responses (19%), 9 patients had stable disease (35%), and 12 had tumor progression (46%). Overall survival (OS) at 1 year was 50%. The only grade 4 extrahematological toxicities were fever (5%), acute bronchospasm (4%) and stomatitis (18%). Six patients (23%) underwent radical surgery after cyclophosphamide and etoposide x2. CONCLUSIONS Cyclophosphamide and etoposide x2 may arrest osteosarcoma progression in a significant number of patients (54%). Osteosarcoma progression arrest after cyclophosphamide and etoposide x2 translates in a better OS. Cyclophosphamide and etoposide x2 had good tolerability and the toxicity was time-limited and resolved in all cases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The growing number of individuals surviving childhood cancer has increased the awareness of adverse long-term sequelae. One of the most worrisome complications after cancer therapy is the development of second malignant neoplasms (SMNs). METHODS The authors describe the incidence of solid organ SMN in survivors of pediatric malignant bone tumors who were treated on legacy Children's Cancer Group/Pediatric Oncology Group protocols from 1976 to 2005. This retrospective cohort study included 2842 patients: 1686 who were treated for osteosarcoma (OS) and 1156 who were treated for Ewing sarcoma (ES). RESULTS The cohort included 56% boys/young men and 44% girls/young women, and the median age at primary diagnosis was 13 years. The median length of follow-up was 6.1 years (range, 0-20.9 years). In this analysis, 64% of patients were alive. Seventeen patients with solid organ SMN were identified. The standardized incidence ratio was 2.9 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.4-5.4) for patients who were treated for OS and 5.0 (95% CI, 2.6-9.4) for patients who were treated for ES. The median time from diagnosis to development of solid SMN was 7 years (range, 1-13 years). The 10-year cumulative incidence of solid organ SMN for the entire cohort was 1.4% (95%CI 0.6%-2%). CONCLUSIONS The magnitude of risk of solid SMNs was modest after treatment for malignant bone tumors. However, radiation-related solid SMNs will increase with longer follow-up. Because nearly 33% of patients die from their disease, recurrence remains the most significant problem. The development of improved therapies with fewer long-term consequences is paramount. Follow-up should focus on monitoring for both recurrence of primary malignancies and development of SMNs.

Abstract
The SFOP-OS94 randomised multi-centre trial was designed to determine whether preoperative chemotherapy regimen combining high-dose methotrexate courses and etoposide-ifosfamide could improve the proportion of good histologic response (5% viable cells) compared to a regimen based on high-dose methotrexate and doxorubicin, in children/adolescents with localised high-grade limb osteosarcoma. Postoperative chemotherapy was adapted to the histologic response. Overall, 234 patients were randomised between 1994 and 2001. There were 56% good responders in the etoposide-ifosfamide arm versus 39% in the doxorubicin arm (p-value=0.009). With a median follow-up of 77 months, the 5-year event-free survival of the entire population was 62%, slightly greater in the etoposide-ifosfamide arm than in the doxorubicin arm, but the difference was not significant (Hazard Ratio: HR=0.71, 95%CI: 0.5-1.06, p-value=0.09). Five-year overall survival of the entire population was 76%, similar in both arms (HR=0.95, 95%CI: 0.6-1.6, p-value=0.85). Toxicity was manageable with different acute toxicity profiles between treatment arms. No acute toxicity related death was reported. About 43% of the patients in the etoposide-ifosfamide arm were event-free at 3 years without having received any doxorubicin or cisplatin, thus avoiding the risk of long-term cardio- and ototoxicity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The objective of this report was to estimate long-term outcome and prognostic factors in children and adolescents who presented with metastatic osteosarcoma at diagnosis. Patients were treated in six French pediatric oncology centers with surgery and multiagent chemotherapy, mainly with high-dose methotrexate. Their medical records were reviewed retrospectively. METHODS The medical records of patients who were treated for metastatic osteosarcoma from 1987 to 2000 were reviewed. Patients were treated with the chemotherapy regimens recommended for nonmetastatic disease in children (the French Society of Pediatric Oncology OS 87 and OS 94 protocols) or, in a few patients, with other chemotherapy regimens. Surgical excision of the primary tumor and, when possible, of all metastatic sites was performed based on a personalized assessment of each patient's situation. RESULTS Seventy-eight patients age < 20 years were treated. Forty-six patients (59%) had only 1 metastatic site (35 to the lungs and 11 to bone). Twenty-eight patients (36%) achieved a complete remission after combination chemotherapy and surgery. The event-free survival and overall survival rates at 5 years were 14% and 19%, respectively. To date, 14 patients (18%) have remained alive with a median follow-up of 112 months. Pretreatment features associated with a shorter event-free survival in the multivariate analysis were metastasis to at least two organs and high alkaline phosphatase level. Patients with at least 1 of these poor prognostic factors had a 2.6% event-free survival rate at 5 years despite treatment. CONCLUSIONS The survival of patients with metastatic osteosarcoma were treated with conventional chemotherapy and surgery remained very poor. Patients should be classified into different prognostic groups and treated accordingly. New therapeutic approaches are warranted to improve the prognosis for patients with the most severe disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The prognosis for children with recurrent/refractory sarcomas is poor. We determined the overall response rate (ORR) and overall survival (OS) of children with recurrent/refractory sarcomas who were given ifosfamide, carboplatin, and etoposide (ICE) in three Children's Cancer Group (CCG) phase I/II trials. PROCEDURE Children with recurrent/refractory sarcoma were treated with ifosfamide (1,800 mg/m2/day on day 0-4), carboplatin (400 mg/m2/day on day 0-1), etoposide (100 mg/m2/day on day 0-4) and either rhG-CSF (10 microg/kg/day vs. 5 microg/kg/day, CCG-0894, 71 patients), PIXY321 (500-1,000 microg/m2/day, CCG-0924, 14 patients), or rhG-CSF (5 microg/kg/day) and IL-6 (2.5-5 microg/kg/day, CCG-0931, 12 patients). RESULTS Ninety-seven patients were evaluable for tumor response, 56 male and 41 female, median age 14.1 years (range 2.8-22.5 years). Tumor types were osteosarcoma (OTS) (n = 34), rhabdomyosarcoma (n = 27), Ewing sarcoma (EWS) (n = 21), soft tissue sarcoma-not otherwise specified (n = 5), undifferentiated sarcoma (n = 6), fibrosarcoma (n = 2), peripheral primitive neuroectodermal tumor (n = 1), and extraosseous Ewing (n = 1). The ORR was 51% (27% complete response [CR]). OS at 1 and 2 years was 49% and 28%, respectively. Patients with CR or partial response (PR) had significantly increased 1- and 2-year OS, 71% and 41%, respectively, (P < 0.001). Rhabdomyosarcoma patients with embryonal histology had significant improvement in 1- and 2-year OS: 82% and 46%, respectively, compared with other histologies, (P < 0.005). CONCLUSIONS The ORR to ICE reinduction chemotherapy in children with recurrent/refractory sarcoma was 51%. OS of 1 and 2 years appeared significantly improved in patients who had CR or PR following ICE reinduction therapy or who had rhabdomyosarcoma with embryonal histology.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sixteen pediatric osteosarcoma patients, previously treated with conventional chemotherapy (including ifosfamide (IFX), 9 g/m(2)) were retreated with high-dose ifosfamide (HD-IFX, 14 g/m(2) per course), following relapse or development of a new bone tumor. The objective was to obtain responses and an improved event-free survival (EFS). PROCEDURE HD-IFX was administered as described by Patel SR: J Clin Oncol 1997;15:2378. Efficacy of treatment was assessed initially after two to four courses. The interval between the courses was 3 to 4 weeks. Provided a response was obtained after two to four courses, treatment was continued for an additional eight courses unless progressive disease or an untoward event, for example, renal failure occurred. Tumor sites were: lung, (10) bone (9), and bone and soft-tissue (1). RESULTS Response after two to four courses was 62.5%: CR 6 and PR 4. A total of 84 courses were administered to the 16 patients: (range 2-10, median 5.5 per patient). Median interval between courses was 28.5 days (range 15-90). Five patients were disease free at 15+ to 63+ months after induction and maintenance therapy. Fever and neutropenia occurred in 12 courses. Nephrotoxicity was a major toxic event and was characterized by creatinine levels at or above three times the upper limit of normal. It was unpredictable and occurred in four patients: two were reversible. The other two patients developed full-blown renal failure; one was treated with renal dialysis, but both eventually succumbed to osteosarcoma. Our past experience also indicated that two patients treated with IFX (9 g/m(2)/course) developed renal failure: one recovered and the other required a renal transplant. CONCLUSIONS HD-IFX is effective in patients who have failed conventional chemotherapy including IFX (9 g/m(2)). Improved disease-free survival was achieved in 30% of patients. However, renal failure constitutes an important life-threatening complication and its development is unpredictable.

Abstract
This review focuses on imaging of osteosarcoma and Ewing's sarcoma of the long bones in children during preoperative neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Morphological criteria on plain films and conventional static MRI are insufficiently correlated with histological response. We review the contribution of dynamic MRI, diffusion-weighted MR and nuclear medicine (18FDG-PET) to monitor tumoural necrosis. MRI is currently the best method to evaluate local extension prior to tumour resection, especially to assess the feasibility of conservative surgery. Quantitative models in dynamic MRI and 18FDG-PET are currently being developed in order to find new early prognostic criteria, but for the time being, treatment protocols are still based on the gold standard of histological response.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recurrent osteosarcoma is a drug-resistant disease with a dismal prognosis. The objective of this Phase II study was to evaluate the activity of ecteinascidin 743 (ET-743) as a salvage therapy in these patients. METHODS Patients with recurrent osteosarcoma who had received standard chemotherapeutic agents were eligible. ET-743 was administered at a dose of 1500 microg/m(2) as a 24-hour infusion every 3 weeks. Pharmacokinetic studies were performed during the first cycle. RESULTS Twenty-five patients were enrolled, 23 of whom were assessable for response (median age of 18 years; range, 12-67 years). The median number of previous chemotherapeutic agents was five (range, three to eight previous agents). Sixty-one cycles were administered (median number of cycles per patient was 2; range, 1-9 cycles per patient). Three patients (12%) achieved minor responses (49% 36% and 25%, respectively). Fifteen patients (60%) developed a transient elevation of hepatic transaminases (Grade 3 or 4 [according to the National Cancer Institute Common Toxicity Criteria]), which was not cumulative. Grade 3 or 4 neutropenia and thrombocytopenia were observed in 12 patients (48%) and 6 patients (24%), respectively. The mean area under the curve (AUC) in 4 patients experiencing Grade 4 toxicity (76.4 +/- 29.3 ng x hr/mL) was significantly greater (P = 0.034) than that in those for whom the most severe toxicity was Grade 3 (39.5 +/- 17.2 ng x hr/mL [n = 12]) or Grade 1-2 (52.6 +/- 15.6 ng x hr/mL [n = 5]). There were no other significant correlations found between pharmacokinetic variables and patient characteristics, toxicity, or therapeutic response. CONCLUSIONS ET-743 was found to be well tolerated in heavily pretreated osteosarcoma patients but had limited antitumor activity as a single agent. The combination of ET-743 with cisplatin or doxorubicin should be considered.

Abstract
PURPOSE Standard multiagent chemotherapy for osteosarcoma may include platinum compounds, doxorubicin, and high-dose methotrexate. By identifying new chemotherapeutic strategies, the outcome of these patients can be improved and the toxicity of treatment regimens decreased. PATIENTS AND METHODS The authors evaluated the activity of the combination of cyclophosphamide (500 mg/m2 per day for 5 days) and etoposide (100 mg/m2 per day for 5 days) given with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) to children with osteosarcoma unresponsive to conventional treatment. RESULTS Fourteen patients with refractory osteosarcoma were treated with this combination. Twelve patients had been previously treated with a multiagent regimen that included carboplatin, ifosfamide, methotrexate, and doxorubicin. Seven of 11 evaluable patients had a poor histologic response in their primary tumor at the time of definitive surgery (Huvos grade 1 or 2). Sites of relapse included lung, bone, and brain. A total of 47 courses were given. An overall response rate of 28.5% was achieved. A complete response was obtained in one patient (7.1%), a partial response was obtained in three patients (21.4%), and stable disease for 1 to 4 months was achieved in five patients (35.7%). Five patients (35.7%) had progressive disease. Grade 4 neutropenia was the primary form of toxicity observed; the median duration of absolute neurophil count less than 500/microL was 4 days. CONCLUSIONS The combination of cyclophosphamide and etoposide resulted in a response rate of 28.5% in patients with refractory or relapsed osteosarcoma, and its incorporation into front-line therapies deserves further evaluation.

Abstract
PURPOSE The objectives of this trial were to estimate the response rate, progression-free survival, and overall survival of patients who received therapy with etoposide and high-dose ifosfamide, and to define the toxicity of this combination when provided with standard chemotherapy in patients with newly diagnosed metastatic osteosarcoma. PATIENTS AND METHODS Eligible patients received infusions of 100 mg/m(2) per day of etoposide and 3.5 g/m(2) per day of ifosfamide for 5 days. Therapy with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor was begun on day 6. This was repeated 3 weeks after therapy was begun. Response was determined at week 6 by both standard World Health Organization response criteria and by pathologic determination of tumor necrosis of the primary tumor. RESULTS Forty-three patients were registered; 39 were assessable for response and 41 for toxicity and survival. Twenty-eight (68%) of 41 had metastatic sites only in the lung; 12 (29%) had metastatic sites in other bones with or without lung involvement. Four patients (10%) experienced complete response, and 19 patients (49%) experienced partial response, for an overall response rate of 59% +/- 8%. The projected 2-year progression-free survival (PFS) for the 28 patients with metastases to lungs was 39% +/- 11%. The projected 2-year PFS for the 12 patients with metastases to other bones (with or without pulmonary metastases) was 58% +/- 17%. Two patients died as a result of therapy toxicity. Eighty-three percent of patients had grade 4 neutropenia, and 29% had grade 4 thrombocytopenia. Ten patients (24%) had sepsis. Fanconi's syndrome was observed in five patients. CONCLUSION The combination of etoposide and high-dose ifosfamide is effective induction chemotherapy for patients with metastatic osteosarcoma, despite significant associated myelosuppression sometimes complicated by infection and renal toxicity.

Abstract
The current study describes two patients with osteosarcoma who had acute myeloid leukemia develop after treatment with multiagent chemotherapy. The incidence density for the chemotherapy protocol was 129.8 per 10,000 person-year of followup. Karyotype analysis of 16 reported patients (including the current two patients) indicated that most leukemias after treatment of osteosarcoma correlated with the use of topoisomerase II inhibitors, such as doxorubicin. The deoxyribonucleic acid-damaging activity of doxorubicin reinforced by the use of alkylating agents is highly suspected as a causative event in the development of leukemia after treatment of osteosarcoma. As the next step in the development of treatment for patients with osteosarcoma, the type and intensity of treatment must be evaluated to minimize possible leukemogenic effects without compromising the potential for cure.
