Liposomal Doxorubicin in Treating Patients With Advanced or Recurrent Endometrial Cancer

June 7, 2013 updated by: Gynecologic Oncology Group

Evaluation of Doxil as First-Line Therapy of Advanced or Recurrent Endometrial Carcinoma

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 liposomal doxorubicin in treating women who have recurrent, stage III, or stage IV endometrial cancer.

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine the antitumor activity and safety of doxorubicin HCl liposome in patients with advanced or recurrent endometrial cancer.
  • Determine the response rate, response duration, and overall survival of these patients treated with this regimen.

OUTLINE: Patients receive doxorubicin HCl liposome IV over 1 hour. Courses repeat every 4 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Patients are followed every 3 months for 2 years and then every 6 months for 3 years.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 19-51 patients will be accrued for this study.
