About this trial
In advanced osteosarcoma where traditional chemotherapy has failed, the multi-targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor apatinib has become a mainstream systemic treatment option in China. However, for patients with a high tumor burden or extra-pulmonary lesions, these drugs are prone to secondary resistance, necessitating combination with chemotherapy for more effective comprehensive control. Liposomal irinotecan, a newly approved topoisomerase inhibitor, exhibits lower toxicity compared to traditional irinotecan and is one of the second-line chemotherapy agents for osteosarcoma, making it a suitable candidate for combination therapy with apatinib.
The primary objective of this study is to determine the optimal regimen of apatinib combined with liposomal irinotecan injection, while the secondary objective is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of this combination in patients with refractory osteosarcoma who have progressed after second-line chemotherapy.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
The subject or their legal representative must sign a written informed consent form prior to enrollment.
Diagnosis of refractory osteosarcoma confirmed by histopathology. Pathological confirmation is mandatory for localized tumors and isolated pulmonary lesions; it is not required for multiple pulmonary metastases.
Disease progression after standard, adequate first-line and second-line chemotherapy regimens for osteosarcoma, or progression within 6 months of stopping such therapy.
At least one measurable target lesion according to RECIST version 1.1 criteria.
Disqualifiers
Prior treatment with apatinib.
Prior use of irinotecan or other analogues of topoisomerase inhibitors.
Known allergic reactions, hypersensitivity, or intolerance to apatinib, liposomal irinotecan, or any of their excipients.
Within 3 weeks after the last dose of any prior therapy, including systemic cytotoxic drug therapy, targeted therapy, radiotherapy, immunotherapy, or any other investigational therapy.
