PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To determine the feasibility of adding cabozantinib S-malate (cabozantinib) to
standard MAP (high dose methotrexate, doxorubicin hydrochloride [doxorubicin], and
cisplatin) chemotherapy in patients with newly diagnosed metastatic osteosarcoma with a
resectable primary tumor.
II. To determine whether MAP chemotherapy plus cabozantinib results in more favorable
event-free survival (EFS) than MAP chemotherapy alone in patients with localized,
resectable osteosarcoma.
III. To determine whether MAP chemotherapy plus cabozantinib results in more favorable
event-free survival (EFS) than MAP chemotherapy alone in patients with metastatic, pelvic
and unresectable osteosarcoma.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To determine whether MAP chemotherapy plus cabozantinib results in more favorable
overall survival (OS) than MAP chemotherapy alone in patients with localized, resectable
osteosarcoma.
II. To determine whether MAP chemotherapy plus cabozantinib results in more favorable
overall survival (OS) than MAP chemotherapy alone in patients with metastatic, pelvic and
unresectable osteosarcoma.
EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:
I. To determine the rate of good histologic response (> 90%) of resected primary tumor
specimens following neoadjuvant chemotherapy with MAP plus cabozantinib and compare with
response rates for MAP chemotherapy alone.
II. To describe the toxicities of the addition of cabozantinib to MAP chemotherapy in
patients with newly diagnosed osteosarcoma.
III. To describe frequency of application of local control methods (surgery,
hypofractionated stereotactic body radiotherapy, or radiofrequency ablation) for
extrapulmonary metastatic osteosarcoma.
IV. To compare total cumulative delivered doses of MAP chemotherapy agents between
standard and experimental arms across multiple phases of therapy.
V. To assess the pharmacokinetics of cabozantinib when administered concomitantly with
standard chemotherapy agents during feasibility.
VI. To collect pulmonary metastatic lesions, paired primary tumor tissue, and serial
blood samples for tumor profiling, liquid biopsies, and future testing of correlative
biology studies.
OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study of cabozantinib (Feasibility Phase) followed by
a randomized phase II/III study (Efficacy Phase).
FEASIBILITY PHASE: Patients receive cabozantinib orally (PO), methotrexate intravenously
(IV), doxorubicin IV, and cisplatin IV for two 35-day "induction" cycles. Patients are
then considered for appropriate local control. Then they receive "consolidation" with
methotrexate IV, doxorubicin IV, and cisplatin IV for one 35-day cycle, followed by
cabozantinib PO, methotrexate IV, doxorubicin IV, and cisplatin IV for one 35-day cycle,
and cabozantinib PO, methotrexate IV, and doxorubicin IV for two 35-day cycles. Patients
then receive cabozantinib PO for six 28-day "maintenance" cycles.
EFFICACY PHASE: Patients with standard risk osteosarcoma are randomized to Arm A or Arm
B. Patients with high risk osteosarcoma are randomized to Arm C or Arm D.
ARM A: Standard risk patients receive methotrexate IV, doxorubicin IV, and cisplatin IV
for two 35-day "induction" cycles, followed by appropriate local control. Patients then
receive "consolidation" with methotrexate IV, doxorubicin IV, and cisplatin IV for two
35-day cycles and methotrexate IV and doxorubicin IV for two additional 35-day cycles.
ARM B: Standard risk patients receive cabozantinib PO, methotrexate IV, doxorubicin IV,
and cisplatin IV for two 35-day "induction" cycles, followed by appropriate local
control. Patients then receive "consolidation" with cabozantinib PO, methotrexate IV,
doxorubicin IV, and cisplatin IV for two 35-day "consolidation" cycles, and cabozantinib
PO, methotrexate IV, and doxorubicin IV for two additional 35-day cycles. Patients then
receive cabozantinib PO for six 28-day "maintenance" cycles.
ARM C: High risk patients receive methotrexate IV, doxorubicin IV, and cisplatin IV for
two 35-day "induction" cycles, followed by appropriate local control. Patients then
receive "consolidation" with methotrexate IV, doxorubicin IV, and cisplatin IV for two
35-day cycles and methotrexate IV and doxorubicin IV for two additional 35-day cycles.
ARM D: High risk patients receive cabozantinib PO, methotrexate IV, doxorubicin IV, and
cisplatin IV for two 35-day "induction" cycles, followed by appropriate local control.
Patients then receive "consolidation" with methotrexate IV, doxorubicin IV, and cisplatin
IV for one 35-day cycle, followed by cabozantinib PO, methotrexate IV, doxorubicin IV,
and cisplatin IV for one 35-day cycle and cabozantinib PO, methotrexate IV, and
doxorubicin IV for two additional 35-day cycles. Patients then receive cabozantinib PO
for six 28-day "maintenance" cycles.
All patients also undergo X-ray, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging
(MRI), and positron emission tomography (PET) or bone scintigraphy at diagnosis and
additonal time points throughout the trial. All patients also undergo collection of blood
samples during screening and on study.
