Phase III Study of Pentosanpolysulfate (PPS) in Treatment of GI Tract Sequelae of Radiotherapy
OBJECTIVES: I. Evaluate the efficacy of pentosan polysulfate in patients with
gastrointestinal tract sequelae after radiotherapy to the abdomen and pelvis. II. Determine
the toxic effects of this drug in these patients. III. Determine the effect of this drug on
symptoms and quality of life of these patients.
OUTLINE: This is a randomized study. Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms. Arm
I: Patients receive oral pentosan polysulfate three times a day for 2-6 months. Arm II:
Patients receive oral placebo three times a day for 2-6 months. Both arms: Patients may
receive retreatment for two months if symptoms return and last for at least 2 weeks. Quality
of life is assessed before treatment, and at each follow up visit. Patients are followed
every 2 months for 6 months, then every 3 months for 18 months, then annually for 3 years.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 174 patients will be accrued for this study within 3 years.
