Study Overview

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to see if mifepristone prevents worsening of your cancer. Mifepristone is an antiprogesterone agent, a drug which blocks female hormones, that is commonly used for the termination of pregnancies. It has not been approved by the Food and Drug Administration for use in the treatment of cancer. It is unlicensed in the United States for your condition. However, previous work has indicated that mifepristone may be useful due to how it works. It is being made available for use in the United States for compassionate use through the Feminist Majority Foundation.

Detailed Description

This is a compassionate use of mifepristone treatment for patients with conditions that could respond to an antiprogesterone agent, including:

  • Meningioma.
  • Breast cancer
  • Colon Cancer
  • Endometrial Stromal Sarcoma
  • Bilateral Chronic Central Serous Retinopathy
  • Cushing's Syndrome
  • Metastatic Adrenocortical Cancer
  • Ovarian Cancer
  • Other conditions as determined by the attending physicians

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Duration of Response

Time Frame: 5 years

The time from the date of response (not the beginning of treatment unless there is stable disease) to disease progression. Response and progression are evaluated according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) (version 1.0). Target lesions are assessed by computerized tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI): Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), \>=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; Stable Disease (SD), neither sufficient decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions to qualify for Progressive Disease; Progressive Disease (PD), 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, or a measurable increase in a non-target lesion, or the appearance of new lesions

Secondary Outcomes

  • Toxicity Associated With Adrenal Insufficiency(Up to 8 weeks after the end of study treatment or until any adverse events are resolved (whichever is longest))
