Full Title
Phase 2 Study of Inhaled Lipid Cisplatin in Pulmonary Recurrent Osteosarcoma
Purpose
Cisplatin is a drug commonly used to treat osteosarcoma (bone cancer). This study is assessing the safety and effectiveness of a form of the drug in which the cisplatin is combined with lipids (fatty substances) and inhaled by the patient using a nebulizer.
The investigators in this study are evaluating inhaled lipid-encapsulated cisplatin in adolescents and adults with recurrent osteosarcoma that had spread to the lungs and was surgically removed. It is hoped that this method of administering cisplatin will be more effective than conventional intravenous therapy for reaching any osteosarcoma cells remaining in the lungs after surgery.
