For Condition: stage 4 colon cancer,adenocarcinoma of the rectum,adenocarcinoma of the colon,recurrent rectal cancer,recurrent colon cancer,Stage 4 rectal cancer
Status: No longer recruiting
Sponsor(s): National Cancer Institute (NCI) , University of Chicago Cancer Research Center
Synopsis: 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 BMS-247550 in treating patients who have recurrent or metastatic colorectal cancer.
Details: OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the objective response rate in patients with locally recurrent or metastatic colorectal cancer treated with BMS-247550. II. Determine the toxicity of this drug in these patients. III. Determine the duration of response, median and overall survival, and time to progression in patients treated with this drug. PROTOCOL OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients receive BMS-247550 IV over 3 hours on day 1. Treatment repeats every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients are followed every 6 weeks. PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 21-50 patients will be accrued for this study within 8-10 months.
