Immunotherapy and radiation before lung surgery for osteosarcoma
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This trial tests a combination of immunotherapy and targeted radiation before surgery for osteosarcoma that has spread to the lungs. It aims to see if this approach can help shrink or control the lung tumors and make surgery more effective.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have osteosarcoma (a type of bone cancer) that has spread to your lungs, but not come back at the original bone site.
- The lung spots must be able to be removed by surgery (like a wedge or segment removal) without taking out the whole lung.
- You need to have had at least one standard chemotherapy treatment for your cancer and never taken the drug gemcitabine.
- Your lungs must be healthy enough for you to undergo surgery.
- You must be between 10 and 65 years old.
- You should be able to take care of yourself (like with a walker or wheelchair if needed) and expected to live more than 24 weeks.

This trial tests whether adding the immunotherapy drug envafolimab to standard chemotherapy before surgery can help treat stage IIb osteosarcoma (a type of bone cancer) that hasn't spread. The goal is to see if this combination makes the tumor shrink more and improves outcomes.
This Phase 2 trial studies whether surufatinib combined with chemotherapy given before surgery can shrink osteosarcoma and improve outcomes. It may help by attacking the tumor from more than one angle before the main treatment step.
This trial tests whether combining an immunotherapy drug (atezolizumab) with focused radiation and surgery can help people whose osteosarcoma has come back only in the lungs. It aims to see if this approach is safe and may improve outcomes.
This trial tests removing the tumor with surgery first, then following up with chemotherapy. It's for people with a new, high-grade osteosarcoma in an arm or leg that hasn't spread.
This Phase 3 trial compares two ways to remove lung metastases (open surgery vs keyhole surgery) in people with osteosarcoma. It aims to see which approach works better and is safer for patients with a limited number of lung spots that can be removed.
This trial tests a single, high-dose internal radiation treatment (brachytherapy) for large osteosarcoma tumors that can't be removed by surgery and haven't responded to other treatments. It may offer a new option for shrinking these difficult-to-treat masses.
