Trial Information

A Limited Access Phase II Trial Of Capecitabine In Advanced, Persistent Or Recurrent Squamous Cell Carcinoma Of The Cervix


OBJECTIVES:

- Determine the activity of capecitabine in patients with advanced, persistent, or
recurrent squamous cell carcinoma of the cervix.

- Determine the toxicity profile of this drug in this patient population.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Patients receive oral capecitabine twice daily on days 1-14. Courses repeat every 21 days in
the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

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

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 28-62 patients will be accrued for this study within 9-20
months.
