Trial Information

A Phase II Study of Single Agent Depsipeptide (FK228) in Metastatic or Unresectable Soft Tissue Sarcomas


PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To estimate the response rates of metastatic or unresectable soft tissue sarcomas to
single-agent depsipeptide.

II. To estimate the time to progression of metastatic or unresectable soft tissue sarcomas
to single-agent depsipeptide.

III. To evaluate the scope and extent of acute toxicities associated with single-agent
depsipeptide when given to patients with soft tissue sarcomas.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Patients receive depsipeptide (romidepsin) intravenously (IV) over 4 hours on days 1, 8, and
15. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable
toxicity. Patients achieving a complete response (CR) receive 6 additional courses beyond
documentation of CR.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 2 months.


Inclusion Criteria:

not limited to, the following histologies:
