Gemcitabine and Cisplatin in Treating Patients With Refractory or Recurrent Cancer of the Cervix

April 10, 2013 updated by: Gynecologic Oncology Group

A Phase II Evaluation Of Gemcitabine And Cisplatin In Persistent Or Recurrent Squamous Cell Carcinoma Of The Cervix

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 II trial to study the effectiveness of combining gemcitabine and cisplatin in treating patients who have refractory or recurrent cancer of the cervix.

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine the antitumor activity of gemcitabine and cisplatin in patients with refractory or recurrent squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix.
  • Determine the nature and degree of toxicity of this regimen in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Patients receive cisplatin IV and gemcitabine IV over 1 hour on days 1 and 8. Treatment continues every 28 days 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 28-69 patients will be accrued for this study.
