There is an urgent need for novel targeted therapy for osteosarcoma (OS). Molecular targeted therapy has yielded stunning response rates of >90% for specific targets such as NTRK gene fusions. In contrast, the mainstay of therapy for osteosarcoma has remained the same for more than 30 years and few targeted agents have successfully translated to the clinic for OS patients.

The challenge to develop targeted therapies for osteosarcoma is that the tumor has different driver mutations in different patients. However, 12-39% of tumors share a common amplification in a gene called MYC. In this project, Dr. Grohar and colleagues will consider this subset of osteosarcoma as a distinct entity. They are characterizing the role of MYC in the pathogenesis of osteosarcoma and determining how MYC makes osteosarcoma aggressive. Ultimately, they will identify compounds that will serve as clinical candidates for MYC-driven osteosarcoma. They will then determine if they are best translated to the clinic as single agents, in combination with chemotherapy, or as metastasis-targeted therapy.

Dr. Grohar has assembled a team with the necessary expertise. Chand Khanna is a disease expert in osteosarcoma, the Grohar lab has expertise in drug development for bone sarcomas, the Neamati and O'Keefe labs are experts in drug discovery/chemical biology/natural products. Filemon Dela Cruz is an expert in preclinical drug modeling, Ted Laetsch and Rashmi Chugh are experts in sarcoma clinical trial design, and Ethos (led by Chand Khanna) and Vuja De (led by David Warshawsky) are companies that will aid in the development of these compounds for the clinic. Together they will identify compounds that are specific and effective for MYC amplified osteosarcoma. This grant was awarded at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and transferred to the University of Michigan.

To make a significant impact for kids fighting osteosarcoma, five funding partners have banded together with St. Baldrick’s to support this grant – The Fight Osteosarcoma Together (FOT) Super Grant supported by Battle Osteosarcoma, CureSearch for Children’s Cancer, Michael and April Egge, The Osteosarcoma Collaborative, and the Zach Sobiech Osteosarcoma Fund of Children’s Cancer Research Fund.
