Brief Summary

An open-label, multicenter, phase I/II clinical trial to identify the [6R] 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate (arfolitixorin) dose with most favorable safety prospect and confirmed ability to mitigate high-dose methotrexate induced toxicity during treatment of osteosarcoma patients

Detailed Description

This is a non-blinded, multicenter, exploratory study in osteosarcoma patients. The study focuses on the overall safety of the HDMTX courses given within a Methotrexate, Adriamycin (doxorubin) and cisPlatin (MAP) treatment schedule, which is closely related to the efficacy of the concomitantly administered folate rescue treatment. Additionally the study aimes to collect pharmacokinetic (PK) profiles of metotrexate (MTX) in serum, of folate metabolites in plasma and to decide the Modufolin® dose to use in future studies.

Patients are enrolled in the study at the first, third or the fifth HDMTX course in a MAP treatment schedule and receive folate rescue therapy according to a strategy based on the Children's Oncology Group (COG) treatment management recommendations used in study protocol AOST0331.

Folate rescue treatment with Calcium Folinate (SOC) or Modufolin® (MOD) commence 24 h after start of HDMTX administration and then every 6 h until the serum MTX levels are ≤0.1 μmol/L. In case delayed MTX elimination occurs with significant increase in S-creatinine and/or occurrence of oral mucositis or signs of hypo cellular bone marrow, the folate rescue dose and/or the administered hydration will be adjusted in accordance with the COG based MTX toxicity management recommendations.

All patients receives SOC (15 mg/m2) in the first 2 HDMTX courses and MOD in the following 2 courses. Patients are enrolled in one of two MOD dose cohorts: Cohort 1 (15 mg/m2) and Cohort 2 (30 or 7.5 mg/m2 depending on outcome of Cohort 1). Only patients with successful advancements from the first 2 HDMTX courses with Calcium Folinate are allowed to continue with MOD as rescue in the following MAP cycle.

Safety data will be reviewed by an independent board, Data and Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) that will assess each patient and made recommendations regarding the enrolment of subsequent patients. Furthermore, the DSMB will make a dose level recommendation for Cohort 2 and also a recommendation whether younger children may be allowed in this cohort.
