Topotecan Plus Etoposide in Treating Patients With Recurrent Ovarian, Peritoneal, or Fallopian Tube Cancer Clinical Trials References presented on Clinical Trials Search is not intended to be a substitute for proven healthcare advice, trips or professional assistance by using a real medical. We aren't mDs. Always confer with your physician about Topotecan Plus Etoposide in Treating Patients With Recurrent Ovarian, Peritoneal, or Fallopian Tube Cancer conditions. Clinical Trials Search.org is a website devoted to listing clinical research studies in human subjects. Topotecan Plus Etoposide in Treating Patients With Recurrent Ovarian, Peritoneal, or Fallopian Tube Cancer Clinical research trials and Topotecan Plus Etoposide in Treating Patients With Recurrent Ovarian, Peritoneal, or Fallopian Tube Cancer medical trials take place in hundreds of localities across the U.S.. A clinical trial or clinical study is a research project with human volunteer subjects. Clinical drug trials and pharmaceutical clinical trials usually evaluate the effectualness of new does drugs. The purpose of the studies / projects is to solve specific human health questions. Clinical trials are a popular way for physicians, government agencies, and private sector companies to discover treatments for all sorts of conditions, such as Topotecan Plus Etoposide in Treating Patients With Recurrent Ovarian, Peritoneal, or Fallopian Tube Cancer. Topotecan Plus Etoposide in Treating Patients With Recurrent Ovarian, Peritoneal, or Fallopian Tube Cancer Clinical Trials and other clinical trials permit volunteers to access healthcare treatment choices before they are available to the general public. Some times the subjects recieve professional assistance for without cost, and every now and again they are compensated for their time. Sometimes there is a cost for a Topotecan Plus Etoposide in Treating Patients With Recurrent Ovarian, Peritoneal, or Fallopian Tube Cancer clinical trial. Subjects often receive the most expert healthcare possible for their Topotecan Plus Etoposide in Treating Patients With Recurrent Ovarian, Peritoneal, or Fallopian Tube Cancer condition. Risks are a reality, nevertheless, and could include additional or frequent dr. calls, healthcare dangers (perhaps life-jeopardising), and/or the treatment being ineffective. Trials are federally governed with stern guidelines to protect clinical trials subjects.

Topotecan Plus Etoposide in Treating Patients With Recurrent Ovarian, Peritoneal, or Fallopian Tube Cancer



Topotecan Plus Etoposide in Treating Patients With Recurrent Ovarian, Peritoneal, or Fallopian Tube Cancer

For Condition: ovarian clear cell cystadenocarcinoma,Brenner Tumor,ovarian mixed epithelial carcinoma,ovarian mucinous cystadenocarcinoma,ovarian endometrioid adenocarcinoma,peritoneal cavity cancer,ovarian undifferentiated adenocarcinoma,ovarian serous cystadenocarcinoma,Fallopian Tube Cancer,recurrent ovarian epithelial cancer

Sponsor(s): National Cancer Institute (NCI) , Gynecologic Oncology Group
Synopsis: 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 I trial to study the effectiveness of topotecan plus etoposide in treating patients who have recurrent ovarian cancer, peritoneal cancer, or fallopian tube cancer.
Details: OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the maximum tolerated dose of sequential prolonged topotecan and prolonged etoposide as second line therapy in patients with recurrent ovarian epithelial, peritoneal, or tubal cancer. II. Determine the nature and degree of toxicity of this treatment regimen in this patient population. III. Evaluate the response rate and time to disease progression in these patients. PROTOCOL OUTLINE: This is a dose escalation study. Patients receive oral topotecan daily on days 1-5 and oral etoposide daily on days 8-10. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable side effects. Patients achieving partial or complete response or stable disease continue treatment for at least 4-6 courses. Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive topotecan and etoposide on increasing numbers of days until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose at which no greater than 1 of 6 patients experiences dose limiting toxicity. Patients are followed every 3 months or until death. PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 24 patients will be accrued for this study within 12 months.
