Study Overview

Brief Summary

RATIONALE: Bortezomib may stop the growth of cancer by blocking the enzymes necessary for tumor cell growth.

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

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine the response rate in patients with advanced or metastatic sarcoma treated with bortezomib.
  • Correlate levels of cyclins D1, E, p21 (WAF1), p27 (Kip1), mdm^2, p53, and Ki67 with response in patients treated with this drug.

OUTLINE: This is an open-label, multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to disease (stratum I: soft tissue sarcoma not specified in stratum II, osteogenic sarcoma arising from soft tissues, or gastrointestinal stromal tumor vs stratum II: Ewing's sarcoma of soft tissue or bone, rhabdomyosarcoma, or osteogenic sarcoma of bone). (Stratum I closed to accrual as of 10/17/03.)

Patients receive bortezomib IV over 3-5 seconds on days 1, 4, 8, and 11. Courses repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Patients are followed every 3 months for 1 year.
