Abstract

Four prospective trials have reported apatinib-related efficacy in osteosarcoma, with a high response rate of 43.2%. Currently, Adverse Events (AEs) have increasingly gained attention, as treatment with multiple tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) is potentially lifelong. For this reason, a consensus meeting of the Chinese Sarcoma Study Group (CSSG), which is a multidisciplinary panel composed of pediatric, medical and surgical oncologists specializing in sarcoma, nurse specialists, oncological senior pharmacists and gastroenterologists, was held to develop comprehensive guidelines on AEs emerging due to apatinib treatment to better assist in the prevention, management, and understanding of AE development. We summarized all AEs that arose in ≥10% of the participants as well as rare AEs that required extra caution to prevent that were observed in these four published prospective trials and arranged these AEs into 14 disorder systems according to CTCAE 5.0. In this review, we discuss strategies for the management of AEs in patients with advanced osteosarcoma, with the aim of maximizing treatment benefits and minimizing the need for apatinib treatment discontinuation. We also focus on providing recommendations for the prophylaxis and treatment of advanced osteosarcoma using apatinib to achieve optimal outcomes.

  • In the authors' previous retrospective study, the most prominent adverse event associated with the combination therapy was ifosfamide-induced encephalopathy, occurring more frequently and with greater severity than typically reported, partly due to apatinib-induced hypoalbuminemia and hypertension.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
