Experimental drug combo targets tough bone cancer
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.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Azenosertib (ZN-c3) combined with gemcitabine
- 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.
