A Phase 2 interventional study of Olaparib and Ceralasertib in Osteosarcoma and Osteosarcoma Recurrent, sponsored by Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. Active, not recruiting at 4 sites in United States. Open to participants aged 12 Years to 40 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-09-24.
Sponsored by Dana-Farber Cancer Institute · Phase 2, Interventional, and Treatment
This study is being done in order to evaluate the effectiveness of using two drugs (olaparib and ceralasertib) to treat patients with osteosarcoma that has not responded to treatment or has come back after treatment
The names of the study drugs involved in this study are:
This is a single arm, phase 2, open-label clinical trial to evaluate the use of olaparib in combination with ceralasertib in 2 cohorts of patients aged 12-40 with recurrent osteosarcoma.
The research study procedures include screening for eligibility, study treatment, evaluations and follow-up visits.
Participants will be given a drug diary to document information about the study treatment and study calender with information about what to expect during and between study visits. The names of the study drugs involved in this study are:
Each treatment cycle lasts 28 days and participants will receive study treatment up to 24 cycles (2 years).
It is expected that about 63 people will take part in this research study.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not approved Ceralasertib as a treatment for any disease.
This is the first time that Ceralasertib will be given to children.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not approved olaparib for recurrent osteosarcoma but it has been approved for other uses.
437 studies on the registry are indexed under Osteosarcoma; 116 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 49 is above the median of 42 across 325 interventional studies indexed under Osteosarcoma.

Diagnosis requirement
Cohort 1 Requirements
Cohort 2 Requirements
Participants must have fully recovered from the acute toxic effects of all prior anti-cancer therapy. Participants must meet the following minimum washout periods prior to registration:
Participants must have normal organ function as defined below.
Bone Marrow Function
Hepatic Function
Renal Function
--- A serum creatinine based on age/gender as follows:
Age Maximum Serum Creatinine (mg/dL)
Exclusion Criteria:
Any of the following cardiac diseases currently or within the last 6 months (by New York Heart Association (NYHA) ≥ Class 2 where applicable):
Corrected QT interval (QTc) > 470msec obtained from 3 electrocardiograms (ECGs) 2-5 minutes apart using the Fredericia formula
Patient has had prescription or non-prescription drugs or other products known to be CYP3A4 and/or CYP2B6 substrates or CYP3A4 and/or CYP2B6 substrates with a narrow therapeutic index. Exposure of other drugs metabolised by CYP3A4 and/or CYP2B6 may be reduced and additional monitoring may be required The use of herbal supplements or 'folk remedies' (and medications and foods that significantly modulate CYP3A activity) should be discouraged. If deemed necessary, such products may be administered with caution and the reason for use documented in the CRF. Please see Appendix E for further details.
Screening for chronic conditions is not required.
Unresectable disease (can not be surgically removed) will be enrolled into Cohort 1 and Resectable disease (can be surgically removed) which is limited only to the lung parenchyma will be enrolled into Cohort 2. * Olaparib at a predetermined dose orally 2 times a day on days 1-28 * Ceralasertib will be given at a predetermined dose orally 2 times a day on days 1-14 in 28-day study cycles. Patients can remain on treatment for up to 2 years if disease progression has not occurred.
Drug: Olaparib · Drug: Ceralasertib
Olaparib is taken by mouth, twice daily through out the 28 day study cycle.
Also known as: Lynparza
Ceralasertib is taken by mouth, twice daily on days 1-14 of the study cycle.
Also known as: AZD6738
Number of Participants Who Were Event-free at 4 Months (Cohort 1)
An event is defined as the occurrence of relapse, disease progression as defined by RECIST 1.1, or death from any cause.
Time frame: 4 months
Number of Participants Submitted Both Pre/Post-treatment Tumor Specimen (Cohort 2)
The number of participants in Cohort 2 who provide both pre-treatment and post-treatment tumor specimens, allowing paired correlative analyses.
Time frame: 2 months
Objective Response Rate (Cohort 1)
ORR was defined as the percentage of participants achieving complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) on treatment based on RECIST 1.1 criteria. Per RECIST 1.1 for target lesions: CR is complete disappearance of all target lesions and PR is at least a 30% decrease in the sum of longest diameter (LD) of target lesions, taking as reference baseline sum LD. PR or better overall response assumes at a minimum incomplete response/stable disease (SD) for the evaluation of non-target lesions and absence of new lesions
Time frame: 2 years
Number of Participants Who Were Event-Free at 12 Months (Cohort 2)
The number of participants in Cohort 2 who remain event-free at 12 months after study enrollment. An event is defined as relapse, disease progression according to RECIST version 1.1, or death from any cause.
Time frame: 12 months
Event Free Survival (EFS) at 4 Months (Cohort 1) and 12 Months (Cohort 2)
EFS is defined as the time from study enrollment to the first occurrence of relapse, disease progression according to RECIST version 1.1, or death from any cause. Participants without an event at the time of analysis are censored at the date of their last disease assessment.
Time frame: 4 months (Cohort 1) and 12 months (Cohort 2)
Overall Survival (OS) at 4 Months (Cohort 1) and 12 Months (Cohort 2)
OS based on the Kaplan-Meier method is defined as the time from randomization to death. Participants alive are censored at the last date of contact (including lost-to-follow-up) or at the date of withdrawal of consent, if relevant.
