Number of Participants Experiencing Treatment-Emergent Adverse EventsSecondary· Up to 2 years
An adverse event is any unfavorable and unintended change in the structure, function, or chemistry of the body whether or not considered related to the study treatment. Treatment-emergent adverse events are those that occur after participants have received study treatment, or existing adverse events that occurred during screening that increase in severity after study treatment. Adverse events in the Group 1: 0.3 mg/kg arm that occurred after switching to the 10 mg/kg dose are displayed under the originally assigned treatment.

Participants with relapsed osteosarcoma that can be treated with surgery will be randomized to robatumumab administered intravenously (IV) at one of two dose levels. These participants will first receive robatumumab, have surgery performed, and continue to receive treatment every two weeks until a year of dosing, or until disease progression.
Participants with unresectable osteosarcoma or Ewing Sarcoma will receive robatumumab IV once every two weeks until disease progression. Participants who achieve a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) after tumor evaluations may undergo surgical resection. After surgery, participants are eligible to receive 10 mg/kg robatumumab until disease recurrence/progression or one year of total dosing, whichever occurs first.
