New daily pill could tame bone sarcomas

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: • Patients ≥ 18 years old with pathologically confirmed unresectable locally advanced or metastatic bone sarcoma in one of the following categories: Cohort A - Osteosarcoma, Cohort B - Ewing sarcoma, Cohort C - Chondrosarcoma (conventional, grades 2-3), Cohort D - Other primary sarcoma of bone including but not limited to dedifferentiated chondrosarcoma, undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma (UPS) of bone, chordoma, and non-Ewing's round cell sarcomas of bone. chondrosarcoma, undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma (UPS) of bone, chordoma, and non-Ewing's round cell sarcomas of bone. * Patients with conventional chondrosarcoma (Cohort C) must demonstrate evidence of disease progression by RECIST 1.1 within 12 weeks of trial enrollment * Patients must have relapsed or become refractory to conventional therapy, receiving at least 1 prior line of systemic therapy unless no standard of care exists. * Patients may have received no more than 2 prior lines of systemic therapy in the advanced/metastatic setting. * Multi-agent and/or alternating neoadjuvant/adjuvant standard of care chemotherapy will be counted as 1 line of systemic therapy if given for metastatic disease. Otherwise, neoadjuvant/adjuvant chemotherapy for localized disease does not apply towards the limitation regarding prior lines of systemic therapy. * Patients must have a performance status corresponding to ECOG scores of 0, 1 or 2 (Karnofsky ≥60%). * Weight \>/= 40 kg. * Patients must have measurable disease per RECIST v1.1 * Prior radiation will be allowed assuming there is measurable disease based upon RECIST 1.1 and at least 21 days from the completion of all radiation prior to initiation of study treatment. (Note: Previously irradiated lesions can be considered as measurable disease only if progressive disease has been unequivocally documented at that site since radiation) * Hematological function, as follows: * Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1500/mm3 (growth factor/G-CSF permitted) * Platelet count ≥ 100,000/mm3 * Hemoglobin \> 9 g/dL. * INR ≤ 1.5 and activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) \< 1.2 x upper limit of normal (ULN), except subjects on anticoagulation. * Renal function as follows: calculated creatinine clearance ≥ 40 mL/min (≥ 0.67 mL/sec) using the Cockcroft Gault equation. * Hepatic function as follows: aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) \< 3 x ULN and total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x ULN (for subjects with Gilberts's disease ≤ 3 x ULN), serum albumin ≥ 2. * All patients must agree to consent and co-enroll on MD Anderson MOSAIC protocol to allow for sample collection and correlative studies * For patients with evidence of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, the HBV viral load must be undetectable on suppressive therapy, if indicated. * Patients with a history of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection must have been treated and cured. For patients with HCV infection who are currently on treatment, they are eligible if they have an undetectable HCV viral load. * Patients with treated brain metastases are eligible if follow-up brain imaging after central nervous system (CNS)-directed therapy shows no evidence of progression. * Patients with a prior malignancy whose natural history or treatment does not have the potential to interfere with the safety or efficacy assessment of the investigational regimen are eligible for this trial. * Patients with known history or current symptoms of cardiac disease, or history of treatment with cardiotoxic agents, should have a clinical risk assessment of cardiac function using the New York Heart Association Functional Classification. To be eligible for this trial, patients should be class 2B or better. * Female subjects of childbearing potential must not be pregnant at screening. Female subjects are considered to be of childbearing potential unless one of the following criteria is met: permanent sterilization (hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy, or bilateral oophorectomy) or documented postmenopausal status (defined as 12 months of amenorrhea in a woman \> 45 years-of-age in the absence of other biological or physiological causes. In addition, females \< 55 years-of-age must have a serum follicle stimulating hormone \[FSH\] level \> 40 mIU/mL to confirm menopause).

Note, patients with intravascular tumor extension (i.e. tumor thrombus in renal vein or inferior vena cava) may be eligible following Principal Investigator approval * Other clinically significant disorders that would preclude safe study participation: * Serious non-healing wound, ulcer, or bone fracture. Note, non-healing wounds or ulcers may be permitted if due to tumor associated skin lesions * Malabsoprtion syndromes * Pharmacologically uncompensated, symptomatic hypothyroidism * Requirement for hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis * History of solid organ or allogeneic stem cell transplant * Major surgery (i.e. GI surgery, removal or biopsy of brain metastasis) within 8 weeks prior to first dose of study treatment.

Complete wound healing from major or minor surgery must have occurred at least prior to first dose of study treatment. Note, fresh/pre-treatment tumor biopsies should be completed at least 5 days prior to the first dose of study treatment. Patients with clinically relevant ongoing complications of prior surgical procedures, including biopsies, are not eligible. * Corrected QT interval calculated by the Fridericia formula (QTcF) \> 470 ms within 14 days per electrocardiogram (ECG) before first dose of study treatment. Note: Triplicate ECG evaluations will be performed and the average of these 3 consecutive results for QTcF will be used to determine eligibility. * Patients with psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements. * Pregnant or lactating women are excluded from this study because zanzalintinib is an agent with the potential for teratogenic or abortifacient effects. Because there is an unknown but potential risk for adverse events in nursing infants secondary to treatment of the mother with zanzalintinib, breastfeeding should be discontinued if the mother is treated with zanzalintinib. These potential risks may also apply to other agents used in this study. * Inability to swallow tablets or ingest a suspension either orally or by nasogastric (NG) or gastronomy (PEG) tube. * Concomitant anticoagulation with oral anticoagulants (eg, warfarin, direct thrombin inhibitors ) and platelet inhibitors (eg, clopidogrel).
