Summary

This early-phase trial tests whether the drug glucarpidase can safely lower the toxic side effects of high-dose methotrexate in adults with osteosarcoma (a type of bone cancer). The study involves 12 participants and aims to see if the drug helps patients complete their planned chemotherapy and reduces time spent in the hospital. The goal is to make treatment easier to tolerate, not to cure the cancer.
