Phase II-III Chemotherapy with ACT-D/5-FU/CTX and/or Radiotherapy for Malignant Tumors of the Ovarian Stroma
Basic Trial Information
Objectives I. Compare the effectiveness of 3-drug chemotherapy with actinomycin-D (ACT-D), 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and cyclophosphamide (CTX) with radiotherapy for malignant tumors of the ovarian stroma. Entry Criteria Disease Characteristics: See General Eligibility Criteria Patient Characteristics: See General Eligibility Criteria General Eligibility Criteria: Patients with malignant tumors of the ovarian stroma including granulosa-cell cancers, granulosa thecal-cell cancers and arrhenoblastomas that have spread either locally or to distant sites. Laparotomy must be performed and a maximum possible amount of tumor excised prior to entry. Therapy must begin a minimum of 2 weeks and a maximum of 4 weeks after surgery. Expected Enrollment Protocol closed April 1981 and terminated October 1981. Outline Randomized study. (Changed to nonrandomized Study, July 1975 - Amendment #1). Arm I: 3-Drug Combination Chemotherapy. Actinomycin-D, ACT-D, NSC-3053; 5-Fluorouracil, 5-FU, NSC-19893; Cyclophosphamide, CTX, NSC-20271. Arm II: Radiotherapy - to entire abdomen by open fields followed by irradiation to the pelvis or to the area of residual tumor through parallel opposed anterior and posterior portals. Randomization is discontinued and treatment for patients entering this study is optional. Radiation therapy is suggested as a primary treatment modality followed by chemotherapy when appropriate.

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. |
