EVALUATION OF PACLITAXEL (TAXOL) IN PERSISTENT OR RECURRENT NON-SQUAMOUS CELL CARCINOMA OF THE CERVIX AND VAGINA


OBJECTIVES: I. Estimate the frequency and duration of objective response, duration of
progression-free interval, and survival of patients treated with paclitaxel for advanced,
persistent, or recurrent clear cell adenocarcinoma of the vagina and cervix who have failed
higher priority treatment protocols. II. Determine the frequency and severity of observed
adverse effects on this study.

OUTLINE: Single-Agent Chemotherapy. Paclitaxel, TAX, NSC-673089.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: 25 evaluable patients per histologic stratum will be accrued over 10-12
months for the nonsquamous cell carcinoma stratum and over 23 months for the clear cell
adenocarcinoma stratum. If more than 3 patients in a given stratum respond, an additional 25
patients will be accrued to that stratum. As of 07/95, the study is open only to patients
with clear cell adenocarcinoma of the vagina or cervix.
