Evaluation of zoledronate for the treatment of canine stage III osteosarcoma: A phase II study
BACKGROUND: Greater than 90% of dogs with appendicular osteosarcoma will develop pulmonary metastasis despite the standard of care. Available treatments have limited efficacy for stage III disease.

Sumario: | BACKGROUND: Greater than 90% of dogs with appendicular osteosarcoma will develop pulmonary metastasis despite the standard of care. Available treatments have limited efficacy for stage III disease. Zoledronate, a bisphosphonate, induces apoptosis of canine osteosarcoma cells and appears to modulate the tumour microenvironment. OBJECTIVES: This prospective, single institutional phase IIa trial investigated the use of single agent zoledronate in dogs with pulmonary metastases from osteosarcoma. METHODS: Zoledronate was administered once monthly, and thoracic radiographs were used to assess response. RESULTS: Eleven dogs were enrolled. Stable disease was achieved in two of eight dogs available for response assessment. The median progression‐free survival was 28 days (range: 4–93 days). The median stage III‐specific survival time was 92 days. Adverse events were reported in four dogs; two dogs developed grade III or higher toxicities. Notable adverse events included conjunctivitis, fever, hypocalcaemia, and hypophosphatemia. CONCLUSIONS: Zoledronate appears to have limited efficacy as a single agent for stage III osteosarcoma and may be associated with unexpected toxicity in this population. This clinical trial was registered on the AVMA Animal Health Studies Database (AAHSD004396). |
