Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

Experimental group : Cabometyx ® 40mg/m2/day (Max: 60mg/day) , Treatment schedule : Daily**, day 1-28 during 4 weeks (ie. 1 cycle) during 12 cycles: The intervention evaluated in FOSTER-CabOS is a maintenance treatment strategy using cabozantinib administered after completion of standard first-line therapy for newly diagnosed high-grade osteosarcoma. Unlike induction or salvage treatments, this intervention is introduced in patients without disease progression following standard treatment and aims to prevent or delay relapse. The study specifically evaluates the added value of 12 cycles of cabozantinib as maintenance therapy in a broad population of paediatric and adult osteosarcoma patients. This distinguishes the intervention from other osteosarcoma studies that typically focus on chemotherapy intensification, relapse treatment, or biomarker-selected population.

Study summary

This clinical study is the initiative of the FOSTER (Fight OsteoSarcoma Through European Research) consortium and Gustave Roussy, which is the sponsor. Its aim is to evaluate the biology of tumour in greater depth by collecting samples of the tumour during the biopsy at diagnosis, and blood samples. This study is a platform study that evolves over time. This means that it allows for the evaluation of several treatments or therapeutic strategies within a single clinical trial, which can be modified and adapted over time.

The FOSTER evolving study platform aim to implement a comprehensive strategy of clinical, biological, radiological, therapeutic integrated research from diagnosis to relapse, with the aim to improve survival of osteosarcoma patients of all age, through randomised therapeutic questions at different phase of treatment from diagnosis to relapse. The platform study makes it possible to evaluate several treatments for the same disease, on an ongoing basis, using a main protocol with adaptable arms.

The FOSTER-CabOS trial (part 2 of FOSTER study) is a European Phase III clinical study . It assesses the efficacy of cabozantinib, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor, as a maintenance therapy post-standard treatment in osteosarcoma patients. The trial is randomized against Best Supportive Care to determine the effectiveness of cabozantinib in improving event-free survival. This maintenance therapy aims to prevent relapse among patients who have already received standard treatment for osteosarcoma.

REGISTRATION in FOSTER-Evolving study platfom, Part-1: Inclusion Criteria : 1. Newly diagnosed, biopsy-proven, high-grade osteosarcoma, 2. Patient considered medically fit to receive systemic treatment, 3. Planned systemic therapy according to national guidelines and age 4. Written informed consent from patients or for minor, from their parents/ legal representatives, before enrolment and any study-related procedure. 5. Affiliation to a social insurance or equivalent regimen (if required in the country). Exclusion Criteria: 1\. Low-grade osteosarcoma, parosteal or periosteal osteosarcoma, small cell osteosarcoma FOR FOSTER-CabOS RANDOMISATION (part-2) : 1. Patient with a histologically proven and confirmed high-grade osteosarcoma, according to the criteria described in the last World Health Organization (WHO) classification of Soft Tissue and Bone Tumours, after the exclusion of all potential differential diagnoses, either by local pathologists with expertise in bone sarcomas, or through centralized revision in a referral centre, according to national rules. 2. Age ≥ 4 years old (when able to swallow tablet) ; no upper age limit 3. First line systemic and local treatment of primary tumour (and metastasis when present) for localised or metastatic osteosarcoma must have been completed according to national guidelines (Mifamurtide is allowed according to centre's practices) 4. Recovery to National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE) v5 Grade 0 or 1 level or recovery to baseline health status preceding the prior treatment from any previous drug/procedure related toxicity (except alopecia, anaemia, and hypothyroidism) 5. Performance status \< 2 for patient adult, or \>70 using Karnofsky or Lansky performance scores. 6. Interval between the last treatment either chemotherapy administration or surgical procedures or radiotherapy or thermoablation, (whichever occurred last) and the date of randomisation should be at least 4 weeks but no longer than 2 months; 7. Disease in complete remission or with residual persistent stable disease according to RECIST criteria before randomisation (please refer 7.3.4 for the definition of the residual persistent stable disease ) 8. Patient fit to undergo protocol treatment and follow-up 9. Adequate cardiac function: Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction (LVEF) ≥50% and/or fractional shortening (FS) \>28% at baseline as determined by echocardiography or multigated acquisition (MUGA) scan (performed only if echocardiography is not feasible) 10. Adequately controlled blood pressure (BP) with or without antihypertensive medications: BP 95th percentile for sex, age and height/length at screening (as per NHLBI (National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute) guidelines) and no change in antihypertensive medications within 1 week prior to start of treatment (C1D1). Patients aged \>18 years should have a BP ≤150/90 mmHg at screening and no change in antihypertensive therapy within 1 week prior to C1D1 11. Screening laboratory values must meet the following criteria (according to CTCAE v5) and should be obtained within 7 days prior to randomisation * Absolute neutrophil count ≥ 1 x 109/L * Platelets ≥ 100 x 109/L * Haemoglobin ≥ 8.0 g/dL (a hemoglobin of less than 8.0 g/dl is acceptable if it is corrected by growth factor or transfusion before C1D1) * Serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 x ULN or based on age/gender. If serum creatinine is greater than maximum serum creatinine for age/gender as described, then creatinine clearance (or radioisotope Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR)) must be \>60 ml/min/1.73 m2 * Urine dipstick \< 2+ for proteinuria. Patients who have ≥2+ proteinuria on dipstick urinalysis should undergo a spot Protein/Creatinine ratio test that should be grade 2 (less or equal) per CTCAE v5.0 * No clinical evidence of nephrotic syndrome * Alanine Aminotransferase/Aspartate Aminotransferase (ALT/AST) ≤ 2.5 x Upper limit of normal (ULN) in the absence of liver metastases or ≤ 5.0 x ULN in the presence of liver metastases * Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x ULN (except Gilbert Syndrome: \< 3.0 mg/dL) or ≤ 5.0 x ULN in the presence of liver metastases * Alkaline phosphatase (PAL) ≤2.5 x ULN (≤5 x ULN in patient with liver involvement of their cancer). If Alkaline phosphatase \> 2.5 ULN, Gamma-Glutamyl Transferase GGT tests must be performed; GGT \< 1.5 x ULN * Lipase ≤1.5 x ULN * INR (International Normalized Ratio) /PTT (Partial Thromboplatin Time) ≤1.5 x ULN 12.

Primary outcome measure(s)

  • Part 1 of the study (Registration at diagnosis) : event-free survival (EFS)rate of the cohort overall different treatment sequences (First line of treatment) during 3 years . — 3 years
    EFS: time from diagnosis to the first occurrence of progression/relapse (local, regional, or distant), second primary malignancy, or death from any cause; events per investigator assessment with central review when available. Patients without an event are censored at the date of last follow-up.
  • Specific to FOSTER-CabOS (part-2), the first randomization question of the FOSTER evolving study platform: EFS of cabozantinib compared to best supportive care (BSC) as maintenance therapy after first-line chemotherapy — through study completion, an average of 8 year
    Considering EFS improvement in one or both of the following datasets : * patients in complete remission (CR) at the end of first-line therapy (stratum-1), * the whole randomised dataset, including patients with residual persistent stable disease after first-line treatment (non-resectable primary tumour, or metastatic disease not be completely resected), i.e. strata 1 and 2. Event-free survival (EFS): time from randomisation to first recurrence or progression (local, regional or distant) based on central review evaluation, or death from any cause. A patient without an event is considered censored at his or her last follow-up date.
