Trial Information

A Phase II Evaluation Of Capecitabine (NSC #712807) In The Treatment Of Persistent Or Recurrent Non-Squamous Cell Carcinoma Of The Cervix


OBJECTIVES:

- Determine the antitumor activity of capecitabine in patients with persistent or
recurrent non-squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix who have failed higher priority
treatment protocols.

- Determine the nature and degree of toxicity of this drug in these patients.

- Determine whether the mRNA tumor expression levels of thymidylate synthase (TS),
dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD), and thymidine phosphorylase (TP) at baseline are
potential predictors of clinical outcomes (response and survival) in patients treated
with this drug.

- Determine whether the serum level of TP is a potential prognostic indicator of clinical
outcomes (response and survival) in patients treated with this drug.

- Determine whether the TS promoter polymorphism in peripheral blood is a potential
prognostic indicator of clinical outcomes (response and survival) in patients treated
with this drug.

- Determine the associations among the various measures of TS, DPD, and TP and clinical
outcomes (response and survival) in patients treated with this drug.

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 15-37 patients will be accrued for this study within
approximately 5-12 months.
