Multicenter and prospective phase II trial with gemcitabine and rapamycin in second line of metastatic osteosarcoma. The study includes 6 cycles of the combination gemcitabine+rapamycin in metastatic or unresectable osteosarcoma patients.
The trial seeks to analyze progression free survival (PFS), measured as PFS rate at 4 months, in patients with metastatic osteosarcoma who have previously received the most active drugs in this disease (methotrexate, cisplatin, adriamycin and ifosfamide). The treatment schedule consists of a maximum of 6 cycles of 3 weeks of gemcitabine+rapamycin. Gemcitabine is given at 800 mg/m2 in days 1 and 8 in cycles of 21 days. Rapamycin is given at 5 mg per day during treatment duration.
