Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study aims to determine the safety and tolerability of combined Atezolizumab, stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT), and surgical resection of pulmonary metastases in patients with pulmonary recurrence of osteosarcoma

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The overall survival at 5 years after recurrence of OS ranges from 16% to 23% in most studies, highlighting the need for novel treatment approaches. Aggressive surgical resection is the standard of care for resectable osteosarcoma recurrences limited to the lung. While previous studies testing immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in osteosarcoma have shown limited efficacy, preclinical osteosarcoma studies demonstrate improved outcomes when ICIs are combined with radiation and administered with minimal residual disease. The proposed research will be a single-arm, safety pilot evaluating the safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of Atezolizumab in combination with SBRT and surgery in patients with resectable, lung-only recurrence of osteosarcoma.

Study Design

Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.

Allocation Method

NA

Intervention Model

SEQUENTIAL

As the optimal SBRT dose needed to generate an immune response in osteosarcoma is unknown, two different SBRT doses will be tested:

* Dose Level 1: 8 Gy x 3
* Dose Level 2:18 Gy x 3
* Participants will receive the appropriate pediatric \[\<18 years: 15 mg/kg (max dose: 1200 mg)\] or adult (≥ 18 years: 1200 mg) recommended phase 2 dose of Atezolizumab IV q3 weeks. The investigator will enroll 6 patients on each dose level, safety permitting, to maximize the information gained about each regimen.

* Patients will undergo surgical resection of all lung nodules
* If ≤ 1/6 patients treated at dose level 1 experience dose-limiting toxicity (DLT), dose-escalation will proceed to dose level 2 where an additional 3-6 patients will be enrolled.
* If ≥ 2/6 patients treated at dose level 1 experience DLT, enrollment to the trial will close pending further evaluation of subjects treated and consideration will be given to a protocol amendment to modify the therapeutic approach.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Dose escalation

Unilateral: Participants start with atezolizumab, followed ≤ 1 week later by SBRT at the assigned dose for a single lesion. After 2 cycles, those with unilateral disease undergo complete surgical resection, including all lung nodules, including the radiated one, as per osteosarcoma standard care. Atezolizumab resumes 14-28 days post-op, per protocol criteria, barring toxicity or disease progression.

Bilateral: Subjects first undergo surgery on the non-SBRT side. 7-14 days later, they start atezolizumab, followed ≤ 1 week later by SBRT on the other lesion. After 2 cycles of atezolizumab, surgery on the contralateral side removes all lung nodules, including the radiated one, per standard care. Atezolizumab resumes 14-18 days post-op, per protocol criteria, barring toxicity or disease progression

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Participants must have had histologic verification of osteosarcoma at the original diagnosis or relapse
* Participants must be in first or greater relapse of osteosarcoma
* Recurrence must be limited to the lung but can be unilateral or bilateral
* All pulmonary nodules must be resectable as determined by the institutional surgeon. Resectable pulmonary nodules are defined as nodules that can be removed without performing a pneumonectomy (e.g., nodules immediately adjacent to the main stem bronchus or main pulmonary vessels). There is no maximum number of lesions provided the surgeon thinks a complete surgical remission can be achieved.
* Participants must have at least 1 lesion that is ≥ 5 mm and meets the criteria to receive SBRT AND an additional nodule(s) that meets protocol definition for a metastatic nodule necessitating surgical resection: single nodule ≥ 5 mm, or ≥ 2 nodules ≥ 3 mm in size
* Patients must have a Lansky (≤ 16 years) or Karnofsky (\> 16 years) score of ≥ 60, or ECOG performance score of ≤ 2
* All prior treatment-related toxicities must have resolved to ≤ Grade 1 OR be determined clinically stable by the treating investigator.
