Information provided by: National Cancer Institute (NCI)
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00002526
  Purpose

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more tumor cells.

PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy consisting of ifosfamide and doxorubicin in patients with advanced sarcoma.


Condition Intervention Phase
Ovarian Cancer
Sarcoma
Biological: filgrastim
Drug: doxorubicin hydrochloride
Drug: ifosfamide
Phase II

Study Type: Interventional
Study Design: Treatment
Official Title: PHASE I-II STUDY OF CONTINUOUS 5 DAYS INFUSION OF HIGH-DOSE IFOSFAMIDE AND ADRIAMYCIN IN PATIENTS WITH ADVANCED SARCOMA

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

Study Start Date: January 1993
Detailed Description:

OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the response rate, time to treatment failure, and survival in patients with advanced soft tissue or gynecological sarcoma treated with high-dose ifosfamide and doxorubicin.

OUTLINE: Patients receive ifosfamide IV continuously on days 1-5 and doxorubicin IV on days 1-3. Filgrastim (G-CSF) is administered subcutaneously daily beginning 24 hours after completion of ifosfamide infusion and continuing through day 16 (or until day 20 if blood counts have not recovered by day 16). Courses repeat every 3 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients are followed at treatment failure and then annually thereafter.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 16-46 patients will be accrued for this study.
