Trial Information

Phase II Study of Paclitaxel for Ovarian Stromal Tumors as First-Line or Second-Line Therapy


OBJECTIVES:

- Determine the clinical response to paclitaxel in patients with ovarian stromal cancer.

- Determine toxicity of this drug in these patients.

- Determine the value of inhibin for predicting response in these patients when treated
with this regimen.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to prior treatment
(yes vs no).

Patients receive paclitaxel IV over 3 hours on day 1. Treatment continues every 21 days in
the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

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

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 45 patients will be accrued for this study.
