Bone sarcoma is a rare component of malignant solid tumors that accounts for only ~0.2% of malignancies. Bone sarcomas present various histological types, and genomic mutations differ markedly by the histological types. Although there are vast mutations in various bone sarcomas, most of them are non-actionable, and even potential targetable mutations that are actionable targets in other malignancies have not shown the appropriate responses in clinical trials for bone sarcomas. Investigations of new systemic therapy, including molecular targeted therapies for bone sarcomas, have thus not progressed like those for other solid tumors. Another problem is that high rates of pediatric/adolescent and young adult patients have bone sarcomas such as osteosarcoma, and patient recruitment for clinical trials (especially randomized trials) is challenging. For pediatric patients, evaluations of tolerability and appropriate dose modifications of new drugs are needed, as their findings could provide the threshold for investigating new drugs for bone sarcomas. To solve these problems, improvements in registry systems, real world data, and pediatric extrapolation have been attempted. We review the issues regarding targeted drug investigations for bone sarcomas, focusing on the current clinical evidence and efforts to resolve these issues.
骨肉瘤是一种罕见的恶性实体肿瘤成分,仅占恶性肿瘤的约 0.2%。骨肉瘤有多种组织学类型,基因组突变在组织学类型上有明显差异。尽管各种骨肉瘤存在大量突变,但大多数是不可操作的,甚至在其他恶性肿瘤中具有潜在靶向性的突变在骨肉瘤的临床试验中也没有显示出适当的反应。对新的系统治疗的研究,包括骨肉瘤的分子靶向治疗,因此并没有像其他实体肿瘤那样取得进展。另一个问题是,儿童/青少年和年轻成年患者的骨肉瘤(如骨肉瘤)发病率较高,且临床试验(尤其是随机试验)的患者招募具有挑战性。对于儿科患者,需要评估新药的耐受性和适当的剂量调整,因为他们的研究结果可能为研究骨肉瘤的新药提供阈值。为了解决这些问题,已经尝试改进登记系统、真实世界数据和儿科外推。我们综述了骨肉瘤靶向药物研究的问题,重点关注当前的临床证据和解决这些问题的努力。
