Summary

This phase 2 trial tests whether the drug regorafenib can stop or slow the growth of metastatic bone sarcomas (cancers that started in bone and spread). 163 patients with osteosarcoma, Ewing sarcoma, chondrosarcoma, or chordoma are randomly assigned to receive regorafenib or a placebo. The main goal is to see how many patients have no disease progression after a set time.
