After standard multimodal therapy, the prognosis of relapsed and unresectable high-grade osteosarcoma is dismal and unchanged over the last decades. We have already finished a prospective trial about apatinib for advanced osteosarcoma(NCT02711007) and find it has a objective response rate of aproximately 45% with median progression-free survival around 5 months. Thus, the investigators explored apatinib activity together with anti-PD1 therapy in order to induce durable response in patients with relapsed and unresectable osteosarcoma after the failure of first-line or second-line chemotherapy.
Apatinib is a small-molecule vascular endothelial growth factors receptor (VEGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor, similar to pazopanib, but with a binding affinity 10 times to VEGFR-2 comparing with pazopanib or sorafenib.
SHR-1210 is a humanized anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody.

- progression-free survival [ Time Frame: up to approximately 24months ]Progression-free survival is defined as time from enrollment to the first occurrence of progression of disease or death from any cause within 63 days of last response assessment.
- clinical benefit rate [ Time Frame: up to approximately 24months ]clinical benefit rate is defined as the proportion of patients who achieve disease control (objective response and stable disease according to RECIST 1.1).
- overall survival [ Time Frame: up to approximately 5 years ]overall survival is defined as the duration from date of enrollment to the date of death from any cause.
