Phase 2
Completed
Conditions
Gestational Trophoblastic Tumor
Registration Number
NCT00003688
Lead Sponsor
Gynecologic Oncology 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 dactinomycin in treating patients who have persistent or recurrent gestational trophoblastic neoplasia.

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES:

* Determine the efficacy of dactinomycin in patients with persistent or recurrent low-risk gestational trophoblastic neoplasia.

* Determine the toxicity of this drug in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Patients receive dactinomycin IV over 15 minutes on day 1. Treatment repeats every 2 weeks in the absence of unacceptable toxicity. Patients who achieve normal beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) receive 2 additional courses after attaining normal beta-HCG.

Patients are followed every 2 weeks for 2 months and then monthly for 10 months.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 15-35 patients will be accrued for this study within 18-42 months.
