Trial Information

Phase II Trial of Thalidomide in Patients With Ovarian Cancer


OBJECTIVES:

- Determine the time to progression of disease in patients with platinum-refractory or
resistant ovarian epithelial carcinoma treated with thalidomide.

- Evaluate the quality of life of patients treated with this regimen.

OUTLINE: Patients receive oral thalidomide once daily. Treatment continues in the absence of
disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Quality of life is assessed at baseline and then every 4 weeks.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 45 patients will be accrued for this study within 9-15 months.
