Natalizumab for the Treatment of Recurrent, Refractory or Progressive Pulmonary Metastatic Osteosarcoma

Trial Status: withdrawn

This phase I/II trial tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of natalizumab and whether it works to shrink tumors in patients with osteosarcoma that has spread to the lung (pulmonary metastatic) and has come back (recurrent), does not respond to treatment (refractory), or is growing, spreading, or getting worse (progressive). Natalizumab is in a class of medications called monoclonal antibodies. It works by stopping certain cells of the immune system from reaching the brain and spinal cord or digestive tract and causing damage. Giving natalizumab may improve quality of life and prolong survival in patients with pulmonary metastatic osteosarcoma.
