Trial Information

Evaluation of Doxil in the Treatment of Recurrent or Advanced Leiomyosarcoma of the Uterus


OBJECTIVES: I. Estimate the antitumor activity of doxorubicin HCl liposome in patients with
recurrent or advanced uterine sarcoma. II. Determine the nature and degree of toxicity of
this drug in this patient population.

OUTLINE: Patients receive doxorubicin HCl liposome IV over 1 hour. Treatment continues every
4 weeks in the absence of unacceptable toxicity or disease progression. Patients are
followed every 3 months for 2 years and then every 6 months for 3 years.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 20-30 patients will be accrued for this study within 1-1.5
years.
