  Purpose

RATIONALE: Chemoprevention uses drugs to try and prevent development of cancer. Fenretinide may be effective in treating cervical neoplasia and preventing cervical cancer.

PURPOSE: Randomized double-blinded phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of fenretinide to placebo in treating patients with cervical neoplasia.


Condition Intervention Phase

Official Title: A Randomized Double-Blind Study of N-(4-Hydroxyphenyl) Retinamide (4-HPR) Versus Placebo in Patients With Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia (CIN) Grade 2-3

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

Estimated Enrollment: 100
Study Start Date: September 1992
Detailed Description:

OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the efficacy of femretinide (N-(4-hydroxyphenyl) retinamide; 4-HPR) at regressing cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN). II.

Document the qualitative and quantitative toxicity of 4-HPR in women with CIN.

OUTLINE: This is a double blinded study. Patients are randomized to receive either fenretinide or placebo. Patients are administered fenretinide or a placebo PO daily for 6 months with 3 days of rest every month. Patients undergo colposcopy, colpophotography, and Pap smears at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months.

Patients undergo cervical biopsy at 6 and 12 months to assess changes.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: 84-100 patients will be accrued.
