Study Summary

This trial is testing how well denosumab works in treating patients with recurrent or refractory osteosarcoma.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for patients with osteosarcoma that has returned or isn't responding to treatment. They must have had surgery to remove metastatic disease, not be on other cancer treatments, and have a certain level of physical ability (ECOG score 0-2). Patients need normal bilirubin levels, specific serum calcium levels, adequate kidney function, and no history of denosumab use or conditions affecting bone metabolism.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing the effectiveness of Denosumab, an immunotherapy monoclonal antibody in treating recurrent or refractory osteosarcoma. It includes laboratory biomarker analysis and pharmacological studies to see how well it helps the immune system attack cancer cells and prevent their growth.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Denosumab may cause side effects such as weakened bones leading to fractures, low calcium levels in the blood (hypocalcemia), skin rash, nausea, fatigue. There's also a risk of serious infections since it affects the immune system.
