See General Eligibility Criteria

Patient Characteristics:

See General Eligibility Criteria

General Eligibility Criteria:

Patients with histologically 
confirmed, measurable, recurrent, persistent local or metastatic gynecologic 
cancer with documented disease progression who are not eligible for a higher 
priority protocol.  Patients must have:  GOG performance status no higher than 
2; recovered from effects of recent surgery, radiotherapy, or chemotherapy 
(off chemotherapy for at least 3 weeks); adequate bone marrow and renal 
function; and bilirubin less than 1.2 mg%.  (Patients with abnormal liver 
function tests secondary to metastatic tumor are eligible per Amendment, 
January 1981.) Protocol closed to patients with epithelial ovarian carcinoma 
in February 1981.  A steady rise in the titers of alpha-fetoprotein and 
beta-HCG will be taken as evidence of disease progression in germ cell tumors 
of the ovary, per November 1981 amendment.

Expected Enrollment

25 patients per disease site will be entered (64 total as of January 1982).  
Protocol closed 10/82.

Note: The purpose of most clinical trials listed in this database is to test new cancer treatments, or new methods of diagnosing, screening, or preventing cancer. Because all potentially harmful side effects are not known before a trial is conducted, dose and schedule modifications may be required for participants if they develop side effects from the treatment or test. The therapy or test described in this clinical trial is intended for use by clinical oncologists in carefully structured settings, and may not prove to be more effective than standard treatment. A responsible investigator associated with this clinical trial should be consulted before using this protocol.
