NCT ID NCT04833582

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This early-stage trial tested a new drug called azenosertib (ZN-c3) combined with the chemotherapy gemcitabine in 31 people aged 12 and older with osteosarcoma that had relapsed or stopped responding to treatment. The goal was to see if the combination is safe and whether it can slow or stop tumor growth. The study is now complete, and results will help decide if further testing is warranted.

Active substance

What this could lead to

If it works, this could offer a new treatment option for people with osteosarcoma that has come back or not responded to standard therapy.

What could go wrong

This is an early phase 1/2 trial with only 31 participants, so results are preliminary. The combination may cause significant side effects and may not improve outcomes.
