| Secondary Objective: 1) To determine the effect of the standardised Viscum-album Extract (VA-E) Iscador P and of Etoposide on quality of life (EORTC QOL C30 in patients > o = 18 years, POQOL in patients <18 years) after treatment of 12 months in patients with high grade osteosarcoma and spindle-cell bone sarcoma free of disease after surgery for a second relapse. 2) To determine the safety and tolerability of the standardised Viscum-album Extract (VA-E) Iscador P compared to Etoposide after treatment of 12 months in patients with high grade osteosarcoma and spindle-cell bone sarcoma free of disease after surgery for a second relapse.;Main Objective: To determine the efficacy and safety of the standardised Viscum-album Extract (VA-E) Iscador P administered subcutaneously compared to Etoposide given orally in patients with high grade osteosarcoma and spindle-cell bone sarcoma free of disease after surgery for a second relapse.;Primary end point(s): Rate of PRDFS (post-relapse disease- free survival) after 12 months of treatment compared to a historical control | — |
