Trial Information

A Phase II Study Of Intravenous DX-8951f (EXATECAN MESYLATE) Administered Daily For Five Days Every Three Weeks To Pediatric Patients With Relapsed Or Refractory Rhabdomyosarcoma


OBJECTIVES:

- Determine the objective response rate (complete and partial responses) in pediatric
patients with relapsed or refractory rhabdomyosarcoma treated with exatecan mesylate.

- Determine the time to tumor progression in patients treated with this drug.

- Determine the median survival and survival at 6 and 12 months in patients treated with
this drug.

- Assess pain in patients treated with this drug.

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

- Evaluate the pharmacokinetics of this drug in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is an open-label, nonrandomized, multicenter study.

Patients receive exatecan mesylate IV over 30 minutes on days 1-5. Treatment repeats every 3
weeks for up to 12 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Patients who achieve a complete response (CR) receive 6 additional courses beyond CR.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 13-27 patients will be accrued for this study within 1 year.
