New hope for tough bone cancers: adding old drug to chemo

NCT ID NCT03598595

Summary

This study is testing whether adding the drug hydroxychloroquine to standard chemotherapy (gemcitabine and docetaxel) helps control recurrent osteosarcoma, a type of bone cancer that has returned or stopped responding to treatment. It aims to find the safest dose and see if this three-drug combination can stop cancer growth better than chemotherapy alone. The trial is for patients whose cancer has come back after initial treatment.
