Summary

This trial involves children, teenagers, and young adults with a type of bone cancer called osteosarcoma that cannot be fully removed by surgery. Participants must have shown a partial response or stable disease after

Who is the study for?
This trial is for children and young adults aged 5 to 30 with high-grade osteosarcoma that's not fully removable by surgery. They should have stable disease after chemotherapy, a life expectancy over 6 months, good performance status, and proper organ/marrow function. Those with progressive disease or severe side effects from previous treatments are excluded.
What is being tested?
The study compares the effectiveness of Cabozantinib taken orally plus Best Supportive Care (BSC) versus BSC alone in managing osteosarcoma. BSC includes symptom control and pain management but no tumor-specific therapy. Participants can switch to Cabozantinib if their condition worsens.
What are the potential side effects?
Cabozantinib may cause side effects such as fatigue, mouth sores, hand-foot skin reactions, high blood pressure, diarrhea, weight loss, decreased appetite, nausea and potential liver issues. The severity of these side effects varies among individuals.
