Trial Information

A Phase II Study of Arsenic Trioxide (NSC #706363) in Patients With Advanced Cervical Carcinoma


OBJECTIVES:

- Evaluate the efficacy of arsenic trioxide in patients with stage IVB or recurrent
cervical carcinoma.

- Determine the safety of this treatment in these patients.

OUTLINE: Patients receive arsenic trioxide IV over 1-4 hours on days 1-5. Courses repeat
every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 12-37 patients will be accrued for this study over 10-19
months.
