Sarcoma
About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Sarcoma focused on measuring recurrent adult soft tissue sarcoma, stage III adult soft tissue sarcoma, stage IV adult soft tissue sarcoma, metastatic osteosarcoma, recurrent osteosarcoma, metastatic Ewing sarcoma/peripheral primitive neuroectodermal tumor, recurrent Ewing sarcoma/peripheral primitive neuroectodermal tumor, Ewing sarcoma of bone
Eligibility Criteria
DISEASE CHARACTERISTICS:
Diagnosis of 1 of the following:
Primary soft tissue sarcoma at high-risk* for recurrence, meeting any of the following criteria:
- Previously untreated locally advanced, nonmetastatic disease
- Advanced (metastatic) disease not amenable to standard or higher priority investigational neoadjuvant therapies
Recurrent bone sarcoma (e.g., osteogenic sarcoma, Ewing sarcoma, or peripheral neuroectodermal tumor)
- Must have advanced locally recurrent or metastatic disease NOTE: *High-risk is defined as high-grade, deep to fascia, and > 5 cm in greatest dimension
- Measurable or nonmeasurable disease is not required
- Pre-chemotherapy consultation with surgery and radiation oncology is required for formulation of loco-regional therapy
- No gastrointestinal stromal cell sarcoma
- No alveolar soft part sarcoma
No symptomatic brain metastases
- No requirement for anticonvulsant or corticosteroid therapy
PATIENT CHARACTERISTICS:
- Karnofsky performance status 70-100%
- Life expectancy ≥ 2 months
- Absolute neutrophil count ≥ 2,000/mm^3
- Platelet count > 120,000/mm^3
- Creatinine clearance > 50 mL/min
- Serum bilirubin ≤ 1.5 mg/dL
- SGOT or SGPT ≤ 2.5 times upper limit of normal
- Serum albumin ≥ 2.5 mg/dL
- LVEF ≥ 50% by MUGA scan
- Not pregnant or nursing
- Fertile patients must use effective contraception
- No concurrent nonmalignant illness (e.g., cardiovascular, pulmonary, or CNS disease) that is poorly controlled with currently available treatment or is of such severity that the investigators deem it unwise for the patient to enter the study
PRIOR CONCURRENT THERAPY:
- See Disease Characteristics
- No prior chemotherapy for recurrent (local or metastatic) soft tissue sarcoma
- Prior chemotherapy for recurrent bone sarcoma allowed provided the total dose of doxorubicin hydrochloride is ≤ 300 mg/m^2
- No prior radiotherapy to > 25% of bone marrow
- At least 3 weeks since prior radiotherapy or chemotherapy
