New hope for tough bone cancer: immune therapy trial for kids and young adults

NCT ID NCT03006848

Summary

This study tested whether a drug called avelumab could help control a rare and aggressive bone cancer called osteosarcoma when it comes back after standard treatment. It involved 19 patients aged 12 to 50 whose cancer had returned or worsened. The main goals were to see if the drug could shrink tumors and stop the cancer from growing for at least 16 weeks, while carefully tracking side effects and quality of life.
