Response RatePrimary· At the end of 4 cycles of avelumab (approximately 4 months)
The study is designed by treating RECIST response \[complete response + partial response (CR+PR)\] after 4-cycle treatment of avelumab and the 16-week progression-free survival (PFS) as dual binary endpoints. Patients who fail to be evaluated at the end of the 4-cycle will be counted as failure.

Target ToxicitiesSecondary· At the end of treatment (up to 2 years after enrollment of last participant)
Target toxicities for avelumab treatment are defined as any grade 3-5 dyspnea, infusion-related reactions, or immune related adverse events at least possibly attributable to the agent observed anytime during the 26-cycle treatment period that a patient is on study (including the period between off treatment and off study).

This clinical trial seeks to determine if avelumab will be effective in facilitating removal of all gross tumor in the event of a relapse of osteosarcoma in pediatric patients. Avelumab will be evaluated using dosing that has previously been determined in adult studies.
Primary Objectives:
* To estimate the response rate to 4 cycles of avelumab in patients with recurrent or progressive osteosarcoma.
* To estimate the 16-week progression free survival of patients with recurrent or progressive osteosarcoma after treatment with avelumab.
Secondary Objective:
* To describe the toxicities associated with the administration of avelumab in patients with recurrent or progressive osteosarcoma.
* To assess the quality of life of patients with recurrent or progressive osteosarcoma undergoing treatment with avelumab, and to explore relationships between clinical factors and patient-reported health-related quality of life (HRQOL) outcomes.
Exploratory Objectives:
* To explore factors associated with response in patients treated with avelumab after recurrent or progressive osteosarcoma (e.g. tumor PD-L1 expression).
* To measure parameters of immune activation including subsets of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and serum markers of immune activation.
* To evaluate the role of T-cells in immune checkpoint blockade via measures of cell proliferation, co-inhibitory receptor expression on CD8 T cells, T cell repertoire, and epigenetic programming.
