Nitrocamptothecin in Treating Patients With Recurrent or Metastatic Ovarian Epithelial or Primary Peritoneal Cancer
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
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 nitrocamptothecin in treating patients who have recurrent or metastatic ovarian epithelial or primary peritoneal cancer.
Condition or Disease | Intervention/Treatment | Phase |

Phase 2 |
Detailed Description
OBJECTIVES:
-
Determine the antitumor activity of nitrocamptothecin in patients with recurrent or metastatic ovarian epithelial or primary peritoneal cancer.
-
Determine the nature and degree of toxicity of this regimen in these patients.
OUTLINE: Patients receive oral nitrocamptothecin on days 1-5. Treatment continues every 7 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Patients are followed at 2 weeks, then every 3 months for 2 years, and then every 6 months for 3 years.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: Approximately 19-51 patients will be accrued for this study within 22 months.
