Ixabepilone in Treating Patients With Advanced Urinary Tract Cancer - Full Text View

Purpose

Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of ixabepilone in treating patients who have progressive or metastatic urinary tract cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die

Secondary Outcome Measures:

Toxicity graded using the NCI CTC version 2.0 [ Time Frame: Up to 30 days after completion of study treatment ]


Enrollment:	45
Study Start Date:	June 2001
Primary Completion Date:	August 2007 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)

Arms	Assigned Interventions
Experimental: Treatment (ixabepilone) Patients receive ixabepilone IV over 3 hours on day 1. Treatment repeats every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.	Drug: ixabepilone Given IV Other Names: BMS-247550 epothilone B lactam Ixempra

Detailed Description:

OBJECTIVES:

I. Determine the response rate of patients with advanced carcinoma of the urothelium treated with ixabepilone.

II. Assess the toxicity of this drug in these patients.

OUTLINE: Patients are stratified according to prior treatment with taxanes (yes vs no).

Patients receive ixabepilone IV over 3 hours on day 1. Treatment repeats every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Patients are followed every 3 months for 2 years and then every 6 months for 1 year.
