Official Title: A Phase II Evaluation Of Irofulven (IND #55804, NSC #683863) In The Treatment Of Recurrent Or Persistent Platinium-Sensitive Ovarian Or Primary Peritoneal Cancer
Study ID: NCT00053365
Brief Summary: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of irofulven in treating patients who have recurrent or persistent ovarian epithelial cancer or primary peritoneal cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die.
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the antitumor activity of irofulven in patients with persistent or recurrent platinum-sensitive ovarian epithelial or primary peritoneal cancer. II. Determine the toxicity of this drug in these patients. OUTLINE: Patients receive irofulven IV over 30 minutes on days 1 and 8. Courses repeat every 21 days in the absence of unacceptable toxicity or disease progression. Patients are followed at approximately 30 days, every 3 months for 2 years, and then every 6 months for 3 years. PROJECTED ACCRUAL: Approximately 22-60 patients will be accrued for this study within at least 6 months.
