Summary

This study tests whether adding hydroxychloroquine (a malaria drug) to standard chemotherapy can help control osteosarcoma that has returned or stopped responding to treatment. About 31 participants will receive the drug combination to find the best dose and see if it slows tumor growth. The goal is disease control, not a cure, as ongoing management is expected.
