BMS-247550 in Treating Patients With Advanced Soft Tissue Sarcoma

Recurrent Adult Soft Tissue Sarcoma Clinical Trial

Official title: A Phase II Study of Epothilone B Analog (BMS-247550) in Advanced Soft Tissue Sarcomas

Status Terminated

Clinical Trial Summary

Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of BMS-247550 in treating patients who have advanced soft tissue sarcoma. Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die.

Clinical Trial Description

OBJECTIVES:

I. Determine the confirmed response rate of patients with advanced soft tissue sarcoma treated with BMS-247550.

II. Determine the overall survival and progression-free survival of patients treated with this drug.

III. Determine the toxicity of this drug in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Patients receive BMS-247550 IV over 1 hour on day 1. Treatment repeats every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients achieving complete response receive 2 additional courses.

Patients are followed every 3 months for 1 year, every 4 months for 1 year, and then every 6 months for 3 years.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 14-29 patients will be accrued for this study within 8 months. ;
