Gemcitabine, Docetaxel, and Hydroxychloroquine in Treating Participants With Recurrent or Refractory Osteosarcoma (NCT03598595)
A Phase 1/2 Study of Gemcitabine and Docetaxel in Combination With Hydroxychloroquine (Autophagy Inhibitor) in Patients With Recurrent Osteosarcoma
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of hydroxychloroquine and how well it works when given together with gemcitabine and docetaxel in treating participants with osteosarcoma that has come back or does not respond to treatment. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as gemcitabine, docetaxel, and hydroxychloroquine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading.
