Trial Information

Phase II Study of Prolonged Oral VP-16 for Advanced Ovarian Epithelial and Cervical Cancer


OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the efficacy of prolonged oral etoposide (VP-16) in patients with
advanced ovarian epithelial or cervical cancer. II. Evaluate the frequency and severity of
observed adverse effects in this patient population treated with prolonged oral VP-16.

OUTLINE: Patients receive etoposide by mouth once daily on days 1-21 every 4 weeks. Patients
with responding disease continue treatment for up to 12 months in the absence of disease
progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients with stable disease continue treatment for up
to 6 months in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: If 4-6 responses are observed in the first 25 patients, an additional 15
patients will be entered. The estimated duration of the study is 8 months.
