Official Title: A Study of Bevacizumab, a Humanized Monoclonal Antibody Against Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF), in Combination With Chemotherapy for Treatment of Osteosarcoma
Brief Summary: This study adopts a novel strategy for first-line treatment of osteosarcoma by combining chemotherapy with anti-angiogenic therapy using bevacizumab (Avastin®), a humanized monoclonal antibody against vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). Chemotherapy for localized disease comprises a 3-drug regimen (cisplatin, doxorubicin, and high-dose methotrexate). Chemotherapy for metastatic or unresectable disease comprises a cisplatin-based regimen that includes high-dose methotrexate, doxorubicin, ifosfamide, and etoposide.
