Summary

This early-stage trial tests a new drug called tegavivint combined with the chemotherapy gemcitabine in 24 people whose osteosarcoma (a type of bone cancer) has returned or not responded to prior treatment. The main goal is to find the safest dose of tegavivint when given with gemcitabine, and to see if the combination can control the disease. Participants receive the drugs intravenously over several weeks.
