Clinical Trial Summary

RATIONALE: Some tumors need growth factors produced by the body to keep growing. Suramin may interfere with the growth factor and stop the tumor from growing.

PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of suramin in treating patients with stage III or stage IV adrenocortical cancer.


Clinical Trial Description

OBJECTIVES: I. Assess the response of patients with adrenocortical carcinoma treated with suramin. II. Evaluate the qualitative and quantitative toxic effects of this therapy.

OUTLINE: Patients are described according to stage, performance status, prior radiotherapy, prior surgery, and prior mitotane therapy. Patients receive suramin IV for 5 days in the first week, then twice a week for 2 weeks, and then weekly for a total of 12 weeks. Hydrocortisone is taken PO twice daily. Following a 12 week rest, patients receive a second course; those with stable or responding disease continue treatment for a maximum of four courses.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A maximum of 40 patients will be accrued at a rate of 6-7 per year. ;
