Study information

Primary study designInterventional
Study designRandomised controlled trial, open label
Secondary study designRandomised controlled trial
Scientific titleItalian Sarcoma Group: non-metastatic OsteoSarcoma 1
Study acronymISG/OS-1
Study objectivesOsteosarcoma (OS) is a high-grade malignant spindle cell tumor arising within the bone and histologically characterized by the production of tumor osteoid or an immature bone directly from the malignant spindle cell stroma. It is the most frequent type of malignant bone tumor in children and adolescents. At present, the most effective drugs used are methotrexate (MTX), doxorubicin (DOX), ifosfamide (IFO), cisplatinum (CDP).

Hypothesis:
A chemotherapy treatment based on ifosfamide delivered only in the post-operative phase and in patients that are histologically poor responders to primary treatment with methotrexate (MTX), cisplatinum (CDP), doxorubicin (DOX) is equivalent to a treatment using ifosfamide added to MTX, CDP and DOX since the primary phase in all patients.
Ethics approval(s)Ethics approval received from the Orthopaedic Institute Rizzoli (Istituti Ortopedici Rizzoli) on the 31st January 2001 (ref: 19/CE/US).
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedOsteosarcoma
InterventionPatients are randomised to receive a treatment with methotrexate, doxorubicin, cisplatinum and ifosfamide since the primary treatment or to receive a primary treatment with methotrexate, doxorubicin and cisplatinum where ifosfamide is employed only in the post-operative phase in patients that are histologically poor responders to the primary treatment.
Intervention typeDrug
PhaseNot Applicable
Drug / device / biological / vaccine name(s)Methotrexate (MTX), cisplatinum (CDP), doxorubicin (DOX)

To compare the toxicity of the two regiments.
