Study Summary

This trial is testing an antibody and drug combo to see if it can keep cancer in remission or prevent it from coming back.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for people aged 1-40 who have recurrent osteosarcoma and are in at least their second complete remission. They must have normal organ function, no overt metastases, not be pregnant or breastfeeding, and can't have had the study drug before. Participants need to agree to use birth control and should not have a life-threatening infection.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial tests Humanized Monoclonal Antibody 3F8 (Hu3F8) combined with GM-CSF on patients with recurrent osteosarcoma. It aims to see if this combination helps keep patients in remission longer without the cancer coming back.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects of Hu3F8 with GM-CSF may include allergic reactions, pain or swelling at injection sites, fever, chills, fatigue, nausea or vomiting. Side effects vary from person to person.

Trial Design

1Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: humanized anti-GD2 antibody, hu3F8, when combined with GM-CSFExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
One cycle consists of treatment with hu3F8 at a dose of 2.4mg/kg/dose for 3 days (day 1, 3, and 5) in the presence of subcutaneous (sc) GM-CSF (day -4 through 5). These 3 doses of hu3F8 and 10 days of GM-CSF constitute a treatment cycle. Cycles are repeated at ~2-4 week intervals between first days of hu3F8, through 5 cycles. A maximum of 5 cycles will be administered on protocol. If elevations of amylase and/or lipase (>Grade 1) or clinical signs suggestive of pancreatitis (e.g. upper abdominal pain) occurs, naxitamab and GM-CSF doses should be held until improvement of toxicity to ≤Grade 1 if laboratory elevations and/or pancreatitis is possibly related to either naxitamab or GM-CSF.
