Summary

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

PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of 506U78 in treating patients who have recurrent or refractory cutaneous T-cell lymphoma.

Clinical Details

Official title: Phase II Study of 506U78 (NSC #686673) in Patients With Previously Treated Cutaneous T-Cell Lymphoma

Study design: Interventional, Treatment

Detailed description: OBJECTIVES:

* Determine the response rate, failure-free survival, and progression-free survival of patients with recurrent or refractory cutaneous T-cell lymphoma treated with 506U78.

* Determine the toxicity of this drug in these patients

* Study the pharmacokinetics of this drug in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Patients receive 506U78 IV over 2 hours on days 1, 3, and 5. Treatment continues every 28 days for up to 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
