Trial Information

A Phase II Study of Continuous 21 Day Infusion of Topotecan (NSC # 609699) in Children With Relapsed Solid Tumors


OBJECTIVES:

I. Determine the response rate in children with recurrent or refractory brain tumors,
sarcomas, or neuroblastomas treated with topotecan. (Brain tumor and neuroblastoma strata
closed to accrual effective 07/02/2001) II. Assess the toxicity of this regimen in a larger
group of patients treated at the currently defined maximum tolerated dose.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Patients receive topotecan IV continuously on days 1-21. Treatment continues at least every
4 weeks in the absence of unacceptable toxicity or disease progression.

Patients are followed every 3 months.
