EURAMOS 1 A randomised trial of the European and American Osteosarcoma Study Group to optimize treatment strategies for resectable osteosarcoma based on histological response to pre-operative chemotherapy Jeremy Whelan for the EURAMOS 1 Trial Management Group, 4 th November 2006
EURAMOS EURAMOS is the European and American Osteosarcoma Study Group. The study was founded in Children’s Oncology Group Cooperative Osteosarcoma Study Group European Osteosarcoma Intergroup Scandinavian Sarcoma Group
EURAMOS Established Oct 2001 Aim to improve survival from OS Objectives to carry out large international randomised trials to facilitate biological research to seek new therapeutic approaches to develop common understanding and methodologies for staging, pathology etc.
EURAMOS 1 Co-sponsored MRC in Europe COG for North America Co-ordinating Data Centre MRC Clinical Trials Unit
Trial Design
Key registration criteria High grade OS of extremity or axial skeleton Resectable disease Fit for treatment
Trial Design Key randomisation criteria Adequate pre-operative chemotherapy Macroscopically complete resection of primary tumour Complete removal of all metastases or complete removal planned and feasible Histological response assessment
Trial Design Primary Objectives Addition of IE to post-op MAP chemotherapy improves EFS for poor responders Addition of ifn to post-op MAP chemotherapy improves EFS for good responders
Trial Design Secondary Objectives Additional treatment improves OS, short and long term toxicity and quality of life Additional treatment improves EFS in localised disease Investigate biological and clinical correlated to histological response and outcome International cooperation in trials Examine outcome of the entire cohort of patients
Trial Design- additional studies Quality of Life Biology Studies
