Summary
Approximately 150 new cases of osteosarcoma are reported each year in France, of which 15 to 20% are metastatic. Further to the initial standard care, about 45% of the patients relapse within a median duration of 20 months. Result of the OS94 study results and of the investigation performed within the CRLCC, indicate that 25 to 30 patients (children and adults) experience an osteosarcoma relapse each year in FRANCE. According to several studies, the 5-year overall survival rate of patients in first relapse is 23-28%,with a median post relapse survival of 10 to 17 months. Multiple relapse cases are also reported in the COSS study, with a median time to second relapse of 0.8 year. At present, there is no reference treatment for the standard care of osteosarcoma relapse in FRANCE. Thiotepa is known for its antitumor effect in numerous malignant tumors. In 2007, a study from our institution reported that about 35% of all osteosarcoma relapses are treated with a high-dose thiotepa while the efficacy and tolerance of this therapeutic strategy have never been assessed. These results highlight the need to the evaluate the efficacy and tolerance of this high-dose of thiotepa within a clinical trial and its inclusion in the standard care of the osteosarcoma at relapse.

Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:

- Age > 1 year and < 50 years

- First osteosarcoma relapse, either local or metastatic, or second relapse after
exclusive surgery NB: Whenever possible, only patients with histological evidence of
relapse will be included.

- Indication for chemotherapy confirmed by a multidisciplinary committee.

- Surgical resection of all tumor sites must be possible, either as first-line therapy
or after chemotherapy.

- Lansky score ≥ 60%, or ECOG Performance Status ≤ 2

- ≥ 21-day interval after first-line chemotherapy

particular, 7 days prior to study entry, blood or serum values as follows:

- blood: neutrophil count > 1 G/L; platelets >100 G/L

- renal: serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 x ULN depending on age; patients with serum creatinine
values > 1.5 x ULN are eligible if creatinine clearance is > 70 mL/min/1.73 m²

(depending on age) and from the parents or legal representative is mandatory

after chemotherapy.

- Patients already treated with high-dose chemotherapy regimens

- Patients with a contra-indication to the treatment proposed

- Two-year follow-up impossible due to social, family, geographic or psychological
reasons
