Chloroquinoxaline Sulfonamide in Treating Patients With Stage IV Colorectal Cancer

January 30, 2013 updated by: Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center

A Phase II Study of Chloroquinoxaline Sulfonamide (CQS) in Colorectal Cancer Stage IV

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 chloroquinoxaline sulfonamide in treating patients who have stage IV colorectal cancer.

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES: I. Assess the antitumor activity and toxicities of chloroquinoxaline sulfonamide in patients with stage IV colorectal cancer.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients receive chloroquinoxaline sulfonamide IV over 1 hour weekly for 4 consecutive weeks. Treatment continues every 6 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients are followed for at least 30 days.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 16-25 patients will be accrued for this study within 8 months.
