Atezolizumab with Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy and Surgery for the Treatment of Patients with Osteosarcoma with Pulmonary Metastasis
This phase I trial tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) with atezolizumab and surgery for the treatment of patients with osteosarcoma that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to one or both lungs (pulmonary metastasis). Atezolizumab is a monoclonal antibody that may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Stereotactic body radiation therapy is a type of external radiation therapy that uses special equipment to position a patient and precisely deliver radiation to tumors in the body (except the brain). The total dose of radiation is divided into smaller doses given over several days. This type of radiation therapy helps spare normal tissue. Giving atezolizumab, SBRT and surgery may be safe and tolerable in treating patients with osteosarcoma that has become metastatic to the lung(s).

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
I. To determine the safety and tolerability of combined atezolizumab, stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT), and surgical resection of pulmonary metastases in patients with pulmonary recurrence of osteosarcoma.
SECONDARY OBJECTVES:
I. To determine the disease control rate at 12 months in patients with pulmonary recurrence of osteosarcoma treated with atezolizumab, SBRT, and complete surgical resection.
II. To estimate progression-free and overall survival in patients with pulmonary recurrence of osteosarcoma treated with atezolizumab, SBRT, and complete surgical resection.
EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:
I. To describe the effect of combined SBRT and atezolizumab on the number and function of key immune effector cells, expression of immune checkpoint proteins, and the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines.
II. To explore biomarkers of response and resistance to immune checkpoint inhibitors in patients with osteosarcoma.
III. To evaluate the response rate in irradiated and unirradiated tumors prior to surgical resection.
OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study of SBRT in combination with atezolizumab and surgery. Patients with unilateral metastasis are assigned to arm I, and patients with bilateral metastasis are assigned to arm II.
ARM I: Patients receive atezolizumab intravenously (IV) over 60 minutes on day 1 of each cycle. Treatment repeats every 21 days for 2 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Starting ≤ 1 week after start of atezolizumab, patients undergo SBRT for 3 treatments over 1-2 weeks. 4-6 weeks after completing SBRT, patients undergo standard of care surgery. 14-28 days after surgery, patients receive atezolizumab IV over 60 minutes on day 1 of each cycle. Treatment repeats every 21 days for up to 17 cycles or 1 year of total therapy in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients undergo echocardiography (ECHO) during screening, blood sample collection, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)/computed tomography (CT) or X-ray throughout the study. Patients may also undergo fludeoxyglucose F 18 positron emission tomography (18F-FDG-PET) or bone scan throughout the study.
ARM II: Patients undergo surgery on the side of the body not containing the lesion receiving SBRT. 7-14 days later, patients receive atezolizumab IV over 60 minutes on day 1 of each cycle. Treatment repeats every 21 days for 2 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Starting ≤ 1 week after start of atezolizumab, patients undergo SBRT for 3 treatments over 1-2 weeks. 4-6 weeks after completing SBRT, patients undergo standard of care surgery to the other side of the body. 14-28 days after surgery, patients receive atezolizumab IV over 60 minutes on day 1 of each cycle. Treatment repeats every 21 days for up to 17 cycles or 1 year of total therapy in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients undergo ECHO during screening, blood sample collection, and MRI/CT or X-ray throughout the study. Patients may also undergo 18F-FDG-PET or bone scan throughout the study.
After completion of study therapy, patients are followed up periodically until the start of new therapeutic treatment.
