Osteosarcoma Understanding

Osteosarcoma: Overview

Osteosarcoma is a type of cancer that produces immature bone. It is the most common type of cancer that arises in bones, and it is usually found at the end of long bones, often around the knee. Most people diagnosed with osteosarcoma are under the age of 25, and it is thought to occur more often in males than females. Osteosarcomas range from low grade tumors that only require surgery to high grade tumors that require an aggressive treatment regimen. Patients with osteosarcoma are best treated at a cancer center where an expert sarcoma team and resources are available to provide specialized and responsive care.

Symptoms

Most people with osteosarcoma do not feel sick. Patients may have a history of pain in the affected area and may have developed a limp. Often the pain is thought to be related to muscle soreness or growing pains, but it does not go away with rest. Many patients only see a doctor when there is some sort of injury to the area or when the tumor weakens a bone so much that it breaks (this is called a pathological fracture).

Diagnosis

An x-ray is often the first diagnostic test that osteosarcoma patients receive, and an experienced radiologist may recognize immediately that bone cancer is the likely diagnosis. There are several additional tests that are a critical part of osteosarcoma diagnosis and staging:
An MRI of the entire bone where the primary tumor is located. This test can rule out skip metastases (spread of the tumor to other areas of the bone).
A chest x-ray and CT scan of the chest to detect lung metastases
A bone scan of the body to rule out distant spread of the disease
A biopsy of the tumor, which provides a definite diagnosis based on the characteristics of tumor tissue seen under a microscope. The biopsy will also show whether the tumor is high grade (highly malignant, which is the case for most osteosarcomas) or low grade.
Treatment

Osteosarcoma is often treated with a combination of therapies that can include surgery, chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Most patients with high grade tumors receive about three months of chemotherapy, known as neo-adjuvant therapy, before surgery. A surgeon will then remove the tumor, along with a wide margin of healthy tissue around the tumor, with the goal of leaving the area free of all disease. Most tumors at the bones and joints can be removed safely while sparing the involved limb.

Osteosarcoma Emerging Drugs Chapters

This segment of the Osteosarcoma report encloses its detailed analysis of various drugs in different stages of clinical development, including phase II, I, preclinical and Discovery. It also helps to understand clinical trial details, expressive pharmacological action, agreements and collaborations, and the latest news and press releases.

Osteosarcoma Emerging Drugs

ZKAB 001: Sorrento Therapeutics

ZKAB 001 is a human monoclonal antibody directed against the immunosuppressive ligand programmed cell death-1 ligand 1 (PD-L1; cluster of differentiation 274; CD274), with potential immune checkpoint inhibitory and antineoplastic activities. Upon intravenous administration, anti-PD-L1 monoclonal antibody ZKAB001 specifically targets and binds to PD-L1, blocking its binding to and activation of its receptor programmed cell death 1 (PD-1; cluster of differentiation 279; CD279). This reverses T-cell inactivation caused by PD-1/PD-L1 signaling and enhances the cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL)-mediated anti-tumor immune response against PD-L1-expressing tumor cells.

Humanized anti-GD2 antibody: Y-mAbs Therapeutics

Y-mAbs Therapeutics is conducting a phase II study of humanized monoclonal antibody 3F8 (Hu3F8) with granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) in the treatment of recurrent osteosarcoma. The purpose of this study is to find out what effect an antibody called Humanized 3F8 (Hu3F8) and a drug called GM-CSF have on the patient and whether it can keep the patient in remission longer and/or prevent recurrence of the disease. Safety data from the Phase II osteosarcoma trial, Study 15-096, for the 25 patients enrolled in the study at MSK was presented. Patients who had recurrent disease and two (2) or more complete remissions were treated with naxitamab and GM-CSF, administered to the patients in an outpatient setting. The Company plans to initiate a multi-center trial in 2020.

IVT-8086: Innova Therapeutics

IVT-8086 is a humanized monoclonal antibody, designed to decrease tumor cell angiogenesis and cell migration, increase tumor cell apoptosis and rescue T cell exhaustion, according to a company press release. It has a high affinity to SFRP2, a novel anticancer therapeutic target in osteosarcoma tumor cells.
