ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:	NCT00064324

Purpose

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy such as perifosine use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die.

PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of perifosine in treating patients who have advanced soft tissue sarcoma.

Study Start Date:

June 2003

Detailed Description:

OBJECTIVES:

Determine the 6-month progression-free rate, time to progression, and survival of patients with advanced soft tissue sarcoma treated with perifosine.
Determine the objective tumor response status and duration of response in patients treated with this drug.
Determine the pharmacokinetics of this drug in these patients.
Determine the patterns of treatment failure and adverse event rate in patients treated with this drug.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Patients receive a loading dose of oral perifosine every 6 hours for a total of 4 doses on day 1 and once daily on days 2-28 of course 1 only. For all subsequent courses, patients receive oral perifosine once daily on days 1-28. Courses repeat every 4 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Patients are followed every 3 months for 5 years.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 17-46 patients will be accrued for this study within 9-12 months.
