Objectives

I.  Screen new agents or drug combinations for activity in patients with 
advanced or recurrent pelvic malignancies using a rejection-type study design 
(Master Protocol GOG-26).
II.  Determine, in this portion of Master Protocol GOG-26, the efficacy of 
AT-125 in patients with advanced or recurrent pelvic malignancies that are 
resistant to higher priority methods of treatment.

Entry Criteria

Disease Characteristics:

See General Eligibility Criteria

Patient Characteristics:

See General Eligibility Criteria

General Eligibility Criteria:

Patients with histologically 
confirmed, advanced, recurrent, persistent, metastatic or local gynecologic 
cancer with documented disease progression who are not eligible for higher 
priority protocols.  There must be measurable lesions that can be followed for 
tumor response.  Patients must have a GOG performance grade of 0, 1, or 2, and 
there must be adequate bone marrow (granulocyte count at least 2,000/cumm and 
platelets at least 150,000/cumm), renal (BUN at most 25 mg%, creatinine at 
most 1.5 mg%), and hepatic (bilirubin at most 1.0 mg%, SGOT at most 50 IU) 
function.  Patients with abnormal liver function due to metastatic liver tumor 
are eligible.  Patients must have recovered from the effects of recent 
surgery, radiotherapy, or chemotherapy; they may have received no chemotherapy 
for 3 weeks prior to entry.  There must be no prior treatment with the study 
agent.  Patients with cervical and endometrial cancer are allowed only one 
prior chemotherapy trial; patients with ovarian cancer, uterine sarcoma, or 
other gynecologic malignancies are allowed no more than two prior chemotherapy 
trials.  Patients with a history of seizures and/or psychosis are ineligible.

Expected Enrollment

25 evaluable patients per disease site are required.  Because of reported 
toxicities, an immediate hold was placed on patient entry in October 1983.  
Protocol closed to patient entry February 1984.

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.
