A Phase II Evaluation of SU5416 (NSC 696819) in Persistent or Recurrent Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Cervix

OBJECTIVES:

• Determine the antitumor cytostatic activity of SU5416, in terms of 6-month progression-free survival and time to progression, in patients with persistent or recurrent cervical squamous cell carcinoma.
• Determine the nature and degree of toxicity of this drug in these patients.
• Correlate surrogate endpoint molecular and imaging markers with clinical outcome in patients treated with this drug.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Patients receive SU5416 IV over 1 hour on days 1 and 4. Treatment repeats weekly in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Patients are followed every 3 months for 2 years, every 6 months for 3 years, and then annually thereafter.
