Clinical Trial Summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die.

PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of sarCNU in treating patients who have recurrent or metastatic colorectal cancer.

Description:

OBJECTIVES:

• Determine the efficacy of SarCNU in patients with recurrent or metastatic colorectal cancer.

• Determine the qualitative and quantitative toxicity of this drug in these patients.

• Determine the time to progression and survival of patients treated with this drug.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Patients receive oral SarCNU on days 1, 5, and 9. Treatment repeats every 6 weeks for up to 4 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients who achieve complete response (CR) receive 2 additional courses beyond documentation of CR. Patients who achieve partial response (PR) receive 4 additional courses beyond documentation of PR.

Patients are followed at 4 weeks and then every 3 months thereafter.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 15-30 patients will be accrued for this study within 6-8 months.
