Brief Title: Pemetrexed Disodium in Treating Patients With Persistent or Recurrent Endometrial Cancer
Official Title: A Phase II Evaluation Of Pemetrexed (ALIMTA, LY231514, IND #40061) In The Treatment Of Recurrent Or Persistent Endometrial Carcinoma
Study ID: NCT00087100
Brief Summary: RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy such as pemetrexed disodium work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well pemetrexed disodium works in treating patients with persistent or recurrent endometrial cancer.
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES: * Determine the antitumor activity of pemetrexed disodium in patients with persistent or recurrent endometrial adenocarcinoma that failed higher priority treatment protocols. * Determine the nature and degree of toxicity of this drug in these patients. OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients receive pemetrexed disodium IV over 10 minutes on day 1. Courses repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Beginning 7 days before and continuing until 3 weeks after the last dose of pemetrexed disodium, patients also receive oral folic acid daily and cyanocobalamin (vitamin B_12) intramuscularly every 9 weeks. Patients are followed every 3 months for 2 years and then every 6 months for 3 years. PROJECTED ACCRUAL: Approximately 19-51 patients will be accrued for this study within 1-3.4 years.
