The goal of this clinical trial is to define the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or Recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of Tegavivint in combination with Gemcitabine in patients with relapsed or refractory osteosarcoma (OS). The study will also investigate the toxicities of Tegavivint in combination with gemcitabine in patients with relapsed or refractory OS.
Recurrent osteosarcoma (OS) has a poor prognosis, with 5-year overall survival after relapse ranging from 13% to 45%. There are currently no chemotherapy agents proven to significantly improve survival in relapsed or refractory OS, particularly in patients with unresectable disease, highlighting the need for new treatments. Tegavivint is a first-in-class small molecule that targets the Wnt/beta-catenin signaling pathway by inhibiting the TBL1-beta-catenin complex, leading to beta-catenin degradation and suppression of oncogenic transcription without affecting its normal cellular functions. Tegavivint showed potent anti-tumor activity in OS cell lines and mouse models, inhibiting tumor growth and metastasis, including activity against chemoresistant and cancer stem-like cells. Recent clinical data shows: Adults: In a Phase 1/2a trial (NCT03459469) with 24 patients, tegavivint at 5 mg/kg (3 weeks on/1 week off) was well tolerated with no dose-limiting toxicities. Most side effects were mild (fatigue, nausea, headache), and serious toxicities common to other Wnt inhibitors were not seen. Tumor shrinkage (\>50%) occurred in five patients, with others achieving prolonged stable disease. Pediatrics: In an ongoing COG Phase 1/2 trial (NCT04851119), tegavivint was tested in 10 patients at 5 and 6.5 mg/kg. No DLTs were observed, and the recommended dose was set at 6.5 mg/kg. Most side effects were grade 1-2; grade ≥3 events were infrequent.

Tegavivint will be administered second, IV over 4 hours, on days 1, 8, and 15 at the dose level assigned at study entry Cycle length will be 21 days. A cycle may be repeated for a total of 17 cycles, up to a total duration of therapy of approximately 12 months.
Gemcitabine will be administered first, intravenously (IV) over 60 minutes, on days 1 and 8 at a fixed dose of 1000 mg/m2

Maximum dose tolerated
The maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of Tegavivint administered intravenously over 4 hours on days 1, 8, and 15 at the dose level assigned at study entry in combination with gemcitabine. The MTD is empirically defined as the highest dose level at which no more than one patient is experiencing a dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) and the next higher dose level has been determined to be too toxic. The MTD will be determined during Cycle 1 (each cycle is 21 days)
Time frame: upto day 21
Disease control (DC)
The DC rate is defined as the number of patients without disease progression (complete response, partial response, or stable disease) during the first 4 months after enrollment
Time frame: upto 4 months
Progression-Free Survival (PFS)
PFS will be defined as the time from enrollment to disease relapse, disease progression, or death from any cause. Patients without an event will be censored at the time of the last disease follow-up Time to event analysis of PFS will be performed using the Kaplan-Meier method
Time frame: End of study (upto 3 years)
Overall Survival (OS)
Overall survival will be defined as the time from enrollment to death from any cause Time to event analysis of OS will be performed using the Kaplan-Meier method
Time frame: End of study (upto 3 )
