Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 to 60 with histologically confirmed osteosarcoma of the limbs who have not yet undergone tumor resection.

Probably not a fit

Patients with a history of other malignancies, uncontrolled illnesses, or those who are pregnant or lactating may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial investigates the use of a targeted probe, B7H3-IRDye800CW, to enhance the surgical removal of osteosarcoma tumors. The probe is designed to bind to B7-H3, a protein highly expressed in osteosarcoma, allowing for better visualization of tumor boundaries during surgery. The study aims to evaluate the rate of complete tumor resection (R0-resection) and the local recurrence rate over two years, as well as the safety of the probe in human subjects. Participants will be monitored for their surgical outcomes and any adverse effects related to the probe.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could significantly reduce local recurrence rates in osteosarcoma patients by ensuring more complete tumor removal.

How similar studies have gone: While the use of targeted imaging probes in surgery is an emerging field, similar studies have shown promise in improving surgical outcomes for various cancers.
