Trial Information

Evaluation of Gemcitabine in Persistent or Recurrent Non-Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Cervix


OBJECTIVES:

- Determine the antitumor activity of gemcitabine in patients with persistent or
recurrent nonsquamous cell carcinoma of the cervix who failed higher priority treatment
protocols.

- Determine the toxicity of this regimen in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Patients receive gemcitabine IV over 30 minutes weekly for 3 weeks. Courses repeat every 4
weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Patients are followed every 3 months for 2 years and then every 6 months for 3 years.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: Approximately 15-37 patients will be accrued for this study within 1
year.
