Number of Participants Achieving a Complete Response or Partial Response (Group 3 Only) Primary · Up to 1 year following the start of study therapy

This is a measure of the number of participants with a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) to therapy, confirmed by central review. Response was based on Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) and World Health Organization (WHO) criteria.

Group 3: 10 mg/kg6
Number of Participants Achieving a Complete Response, a Partial Response, or Stable Disease (Group 2 Only) Primary · Up to 1 year following the start of study therapy

Responses to treatment (complete response, partial response, or stable disease) confirmed by central review for Participants in Group 2. Response was based on Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) and World Health Organization (WHO) criteria.

GroupValue95% CI
Group 2: 10 mg/kg6
Overall Survival Secondary · From start of treatment until death or data analysis cut off (Up to 3.4 years)

This is a measure of the number of participants known to be alive at the time of data analysis for this study.

Number of Participants Experiencing Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events Secondary · 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.

Overall Survival (Groups 2 and 3 Only) Secondary · From start of treatment until death or data analysis cut off (Up to 3.4 years)

This is a measure of the time of survival from first dose to documentation of death

Adverse events — posted to ClinicalTrials.gov

Time frame: Adverse events are reported from enrollment up to 5 weeks after the end of treatment (up to 2 years). Reporting threshold: 5%. Adverse-event reports describe events observed during the trial — not all are caused by the drug.

Sponsor's own description

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.
