Short-term and long-term prognostic value of histological response and intensified chemotherapy in osteosarcoma: a retrospective reanalysis of the BO06 trial by Jakob Anninga, Hans Gelderblom, Marta Fiocco, Nan van Geloven, Eni Musta

“…Objectives Cure rate models accounting for cured and uncured patients, provide additional insights into long and short-term survival. We aim to evaluate the prognostic value of histological response and chemotherapy intensification on the cure fraction and progression-free survival (PFS) for the uncured patients.Design Retrospective analysis of a randomised controlled trial, MRC BO06 (EORTC 80931).Setting Population-based study but proposed methodology can be applied to other trial designs.Participants A total of 497 patients with resectable highgrade osteosarcoma, of which 118 were excluded because chemotherapy was not started, histological response was not reported, abnormal dose was reported or had disease progression during treatment.Intervention(s) Two regimens with the same anticipated cumulative dose (doxorubicin 6×75 mg/m2/week; cisplatin 6×100 mg/m2/week) over different time schedules: every 3 weeks in regimen-C and every 2 weeks in regimen-DI.Primary and secondary outcome measures The primary outcome is PFS computed from end of treatment because cure, if it occurs, may happen at any time during treatment. …”
