May 24, 2013 updated by: Gynecologic Oncology Group

A Limited Access Phase II Trial Of Capecitabine In Advanced, 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.

PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of capecitabine in treating patients who have advanced, persistent, or recurrent cervical cancer.

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine the activity of capecitabine in patients with advanced, persistent, or recurrent squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix.
  • Determine the toxicity profile of this drug in this patient population.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Patients receive oral capecitabine twice daily on days 1-14. Courses repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

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

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 28-62 patients will be accrued for this study within 9-20 months.
