A Phase II Study of Intravenous DX-8951f Administered Daily for Five Days Every Three Weeks to Patients With Advanced or Recurrent Squamous Cell Cancer of the Cervix


OBJECTIVES:

- Determine the antitumor activity of DX-8951f in women with advanced or recurrent
squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix.

- Evaluate the quantitative and qualitative toxic effects of this regimen in these
patients.

- Evaluate the pharmacokinetics of this regimen in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Patients receive DX-8951f IV over 30 minutes daily for 5 days. Courses repeat every 21 days
in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Patients are followed every 3 months until death.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: Approximately 37 patients will be accrued for this study.
