  Purpose

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die.

PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of liposomal doxorubicin in treating patients who have advanced or recurrent sarcoma of the uterus.


Condition Intervention Phase
Endometrial Cancer
Sarcoma
Drug: pegylated liposomal doxorubicin hydrochloride
Phase II

MedlinePlus related topics: Cancer Soft Tissue Sarcoma
Drug Information available for: Doxorubicin Doxorubicin hydrochloride Myocet

Study Type: Interventional
Study Design: Treatment
Official Title: Evaluation of Doxil in the Treatment of Recurrent or Advanced Leiomyosarcoma of the Uterus

Further study details as provided by National Cancer Institute (NCI):

Study Start Date: May 2000
Detailed Description:

OBJECTIVES: I. Estimate the antitumor activity of doxorubicin HCl liposome in patients with recurrent or advanced uterine sarcoma. II. Determine the nature and degree of toxicity of this drug in this patient population.

OUTLINE: Patients receive doxorubicin HCl liposome IV over 1 hour. Treatment continues every 4 weeks in the absence of unacceptable toxicity or disease progression. Patients are followed every 3 months for 2 years and then every 6 months for 3 years.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 20-30 patients will be accrued for this study within 1-1.5 years.
