Full Title
A Phase 1/2 Dose Escalation and Dose Expansion Study of ZN-c3 in Combination with Gemcitabine in Adult and Pediatric Subjects with Relapsed or Refractory OsteosarcomaPurpose
The purpose of this study is to: 1) find the highest safe dose of the investigational drug ZN-c3 that can be given in combination with the chemotherapy drug gemcitabine in adults and children with osteosarcoma (bone cancer) that has come back or continued to grow despite treatment, and 2) begin to see if this combination of drugs is useful in slowing the growth of osteosarcoma, since these two drugs may work well together against this cancer.
ZN-c3 blocks WEE1 kinase, a protein that plays an important role in helping cancer cells repair damaged DNA. When WEE1 kinase is blocked, the cancer may stop growing or grow more slowly, and cancer cells may shrink. Zn-c3 is taken orally (by mouth) and gemcitabine is given intravenously (by vein).
