简要总结
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more tumor cells.
PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of bryostatin 1 and paclitaxel in treating patients who have locally advanced or metastatic esophageal cancer or stomach cancer.
详细描述
OBJECTIVES:
- Determine the complete and partial response rates in patients with unresectable or metastatic esophageal cancer or carcinoma of the gastroesophageal junction treated with sequential paclitaxel and bryostatin 1.
- Determine the toxicity of this regimen in this patient population.
- Determine the survival of patients after treatment with this regimen.
- Determine the quality of life of patients treated with this regimen.
- Examine pre- and post-treatment tissue biopsies for markers of apoptosis in selected patients.
OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.
Patients receive paclitaxel IV over 1 hour on day 1 and bryostatin 1 IV over 24 hours on day 2 weekly for 2 weeks. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of unacceptable toxicity or disease progression.
Quality of life is assessed at baseline, after courses 1 and 2, and then after every 2 courses thereafter.
