11525 Background: Osteosarcoma is a highly malignant and aggressive tumor, predominantly occurring in children and adolescents under 20 years of age. It exhibits early metastatic potential, with 15%–20% of patients presenting with distant metastasis at diagnosis. Among these, pulmonary metastases account for 85% of cases. The 5-year survival rate after pulmonary metastasis is <20%. This study retrospectively analyzes the efficacy and safety of anlotinib combined with etoposide and ifosfamide in treating pediatric and adolescent patients with pulmonary metastatic osteosarcoma. Methods: This study retrospectively screened children and adolescent patients with pulmonary metastatic osteosarcoma who received etoposide + ifosfamide ± anlotinib at Northwest Women's and Children's Hospital from May 2018 to December 2024. The study was divided into a combination group (anlotinib + etoposide + ifosfamide) and a control group (etoposide + ifosfamide). The dosage of anlotinib: 8 mg for patients < 12 years old, qd, d1-d14, q3w, 12mg for patients ≥12 years old, qd, d1-d14, q3w. Treatment continued until disease progression or intolerable toxicity, with a maximum of 4 chemotherapy cycles. The primary endpoint of the study was objective response rate (ORR), and secondary endpoints included disease control rate (DCR), progression-free survival rate (PFSR), and safety. Results: The data cut-off date was December 2024, The study enrolled 38 patients (combination group: n=18, control group: n=20). Efficacy analysis showed the combination group achieved higher ORR (22.2% vs 15%, p =0.057) and significantly better DCR (66.7% vs 45%, p =0.015), and 3-month progression-free survival rates (PFSR) of 44.0% versus 30%. Subgroup analysis indicated superior outcomes with 12 mg versus 8mg anlotinib ( p <0.05). Biomarker evaluation revealed patients with high BRCA1/VEGFR2 expression had lower 3-year survival than those with intermediate/low expression, while low PDGFR expression was associated with poorer survival compared to intermediate/high levels. The combination group exhibited higher incidence rates of treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) compared to the control group, including epistaxis (44.4%), hand-foot syndrome (27.8%), abnormal thyroid function (22.2%), and proteinuria (16.7%). All reported adverse events were grade 1-2 in severity, with no grade 3-4 severe adverse reactions observed. Conclusions: The combination therapy of anlotinib with ifosfamide and etoposide demonstrated superior efficacy compared to chemotherapy alone in pediatric patients with pulmonary metastatic osteosarcoma, showing higher ORR, DCR, and 3-month PFSR. These results indicate that anlotinib combined with neoadjuvant chemotherapy can more effectively delay tumor progression and prolong progression-free survival in these patients.
PURPOSEHomoharringtonine (HHT) is commonly used for the treatment of Chinese adult AML, and all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) has been verified in acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL). However, the efficacy and safety of HHT-based induction therapy have not been confirmed for childhood AML, and ATRA-based treatment has not been evaluated among patients with non-APL AML.PATIENTS AND METHODSThis open-label, multicenter, randomized Chinese Children's Leukemia Group-AML 2015 study was performed across 35 centers in China. Patients with newly diagnosed childhood AML were first randomly assigned to receive an HHT-based (H arm) or etoposide-based (E arm) induction regimen and then randomly allocated to receive cytarabine-based (AC arm) or ATRA-based (AT arm) maintenance therapy. The primary end points were the complete remission (CR) rate after induction therapy, and the secondary end points were the overall survival (OS) and event-free survival (EFS) at 3 years.RESULTSWe enrolled 1,258 patients, of whom 1,253 were included in the intent-to-treat analysis. The overall CR rate was significantly higher in the H arm than in the E arm (79.9% v 73.9%, P = .014). According to the intention-to-treat analysis, the 3-year OS was 69.2% (95% CI, 65.1 to 72.9) in the H arm and 62.8% (95% CI, 58.7 to 66.6) in the E arm (P = .025); the 3-year EFS was 61.1% (95% CI, 56.8 to 65.0) in the H arm and 53.4% (95% CI, 49.2 to 57.3) in the E arm (P = .022). Among the per-protocol population, who received maintenance therapy, the 3-year EFS did not differ significantly across the four arms (H + AT arm: 70.7%, 95% CI, 61.1 to 78.3; H + AC arm: 74.8%, 95% CI, 67.0 to 81.0, P = .933; E + AC arm: 72.9%, 95% CI, 65.1 to 79.2, P = .789; E + AT arm: 66.2%, 95% CI, 56.8 to 74.0, P = .336).CONCLUSIONHHT is an alternative combination regimen for childhood AML. The effects of ATRA-based maintenance are comparable with those of cytarabine-based maintenance therapy.

e23509 Background: The prognosis of advanced or early advanced osteosarcoma during neoadjuvant chemotherapy is unfavorable. Many patients can only accept brutal amputation without a new and reliable limb rescue solution. There are no clinical data on the efficacy and safety of anlotinib in the treatment of osteosarcoma in children and adolescents. We investigate the efficacy of anotinib plus first-line chemotherapy (platinum + doxorubicin liposome/ifosfamide) in the treatment of early advanced osteosarcoma in children and adolescents. Methods: Early advanced osteosarcoma in this study was defined as pathologically identified osteosarcoma that progressed within 6 months after radical surgery, with neoadjuvant chemotherapy or adjuvant chemotherapy. 11 cases of limb osteosarcoma with Enneking stage IIB (8 cases in the lower femur and 3 cases in the upper tibia), aged 8-15 years, were selected from February 2018 to December 2021. After 1 cycle of first-line neoadjuvant chemotherapy, patients locally advanced received anlotinib (12mg/d) combined with first-line chemotherapy for 1-2 cycles. The tumor shrinkage rate, limb salvage rate, disease-free survival time (DFS), progression-free survival time (PFS), disease control rate (DCR), and safety were analyzed. Results: 9 patients had locally advanced during neoadjuvant chemotherapy. After 2 cycles of anlotinib combined with first-line chemotherapy, the tumor shrunked and was well demarcated from surrounding tissue. All patients underwent limb salvage surgery Postoperative chemotherapy lasted for 4-6 cycles, with a median DFS of 12 months. 2 patients who developed recurrence or metastasis after radical surgery continued to complete at least 8 cycles of standard first-line chemotherapy combined with anlotinib, PFS showed separately 6 months and 8 months. The tumor shrinkage rate was 54.55% and the DCR was 72.73%. The adverse reactions associated with anlotinib were epistaxis (8 cases, 72.72%) and oral ulcer (1 case, 9.09%), which were controlled immediately after withdrawal. Conclusions: Combination of anlotinib with first-line chemotherapy can shrink the tumor, improve limb salvage rate for children with early advanced osteosarcoma, and delay disease progression for children with recurrence and metastasis after radical surgery. The toxicity of anlotinib combined with first-line chemotherapy were tolerated which is expected to be a new approach for the treatment of early advanced osteosarcoma.
Introduction Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a heterogeneous group of hematological malignancy. Classical induction therapy of DAE composed of etoposide (VP-16), cytarabine arabinoside (Ara-C) and anthracycline (DNR) is commonly applied in childhood AML, but etoposide has been reported to increase the risk of secondary cancer, especially for AML with MLL rearrangement. Although homoharringtonine (HHT) is commonly used for the treatment of Chinese adult AML, the efficacy and safety of HHT-based induction therapy have not been confirmed for childhood AML. And whether survival of pediatric AML will benefit from maintenance therapy without increasing toxicity is a matter of debate. All-trans retinoic acid (ATRA)-based therapy has been less reported and verified among non-APL AML patients. Here, we seek to evaluate the efficacy and safety of HHT-based induction regimens combined ATRA-based maintenance therapy for Chinese childhood AML (Chinese Clinical Trial Registry: ChiCTR-IPR-15006816). Methods The 2015 open-label, multicenter, randomized Chinese Children's Leukemia Group (CCLG) study was performed across 35 centers in China between July 2015 and October 2019. Newly diagnosed 0- to 18-year-old children with AML were first randomly assigned to receive HHT-based (H arm) or etoposide-based (E arm) induction regimens [HHT (3 mg/m2 per day from days 1 to 5) or VP-16 (100 mg/m2 per day from days 1 to 5) combined with DA regimen (D: 40 mg/m2 per day on days 1, 3 and 5; A: 100 mg/m2 every 12 hours from day 1 to 7)] and then randomly allocated to receive cytarabine-based (AC arm) or ATRA-based (AT arm) maintenance therapy. The primary endpoint is the complete remission (CR) rate after two courses of induction therapy between H arm and E arm. The secondary endpoints include the 3-year overall survival (OS) and 3-year event-free survival (EFS) of patients in the intent-to-treat population among four arms (H+AT arm, H+AC arm, E+AT arm and E+AC arm). What we should explained is that the study was initially designed as a multicenter randomized controlled trial, however, due to a shortage of HHT, which lasted for half a year in some local hospitals, we had to give priority to ensuring patient benefit and assign these patients to the E arm until HHT became available, and then patients in the H arm were supplemented in those hospitals. So patients were unevenly distributed among the four arms. Results We enrolled 1253 intent-to-treat de novo AML patients, of whom 895 were included in the induction therapy analysis, and 554 received maintenance therapy (Figure 1). The median age was 75.0 months (IQR 36.0-118.0), and 57% of the patients were male. The median follow-up time was 29.4 months (IQR 8.4-47.4). 185 of 1253 patients (14.8%) were lost to follow-up, of whom 70.0% patients have been followed for over 12 months. The CR rates were 88.3% in the H arm versus 83.3% in the E arm (p=0.03). The CR rate of patients with t(8;21)/AML1-ETO was higher in the H arm than in the E arm (94.7% vs. 87.5%, p=0.018). According to the intention-to-treat analysis, the 3-year OS and EFS were significantly higher in the H arm than in the E arm [3-year OS: 69.2% vs. 62.8%, p=0.025 (Figure 2); 3-year EFS 61.1% vs. 53.4%, p=0.022]. Among patients who were enrolled in maintenance therapy (per-protocol population), the 3-year EFS (H+AT arm: 70.7%, 95% CI 61.1-78.3; H+AC arm: 74.8%, 95% CI 67.0-81.0, p=0.933; E+AC arm: 72.9%, 95% CI 65.1-79.2, p=0.789; E+AT arm: 66.2%, 95% CI 56.8-74.0, p=0.336) did not differ significantly across the four arms. In subgroup analysis, patients with AML1-ETO positivity in the H+AT arm had significantly better OS (82.4% vs. 66.4%, p=0.043) and EFS (73.6% vs. 52.8%, p=0.013) than those in the E+AC arm. Conclusions Our study demonstrated, in childhood AML, HHT-based induction regimens (DAH) could significantly obtain higher complete remission rate compared with patients who received etoposide-based regimens, especially for those with AML1-ETO positive. And The HTT-based regimen resulted in a significantly improved 3-year OS and EFS compared with VP-16-based regimen. More patients with AML1-ETO positive who took DAH achieved complete remission, and these patients had longer overall survival and event-free survival, than those who took DAE. And ATRA-based maintenance has comparable effects to cytarabine-based maintenance in terms of OS and EFS. ATRA may be an alternative option for pediatric AML.
