Phase 2
Completed
Conditions
Sarcoma
Endometrial Cancer
Registration Number
NCT00053794
Lead Sponsor
NCIC Clinical Trials Group
Brief Summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die.

PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of perifosine in treating patients who have metastatic or locally advanced soft tissue sarcoma.

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES:

* Determine the efficacy of perifosine, in terms of response rate and duration of response, in patients with untreated metastatic or locally advanced soft tissue sarcoma.

* Determine the toxicity of this drug in these patients.

* Determine the early progression rate in patients treated with this drug.

OUTLINE: This is a non-randomized, non-blinded, multicenter study.

Patients receive a loading dose of oral perifosine twice on day 1 and then once daily on days 2-21 for the first course. For all subsequent courses, patients receive a loading dose of oral perifosine once on day 1 and then once daily on days 2-21. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Patients are followed for 1 month. Patients with stable or responsive disease are followed every 3 months thereafter.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 15-30 patients will be accrued for this study within 12-18 months.
