Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

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

PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of paclitaxel in treating patients who have refractory or recurrent endometrial cancer.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

OBJECTIVES:

* Determine the therapeutic activity of paclitaxel in patients with refractory or recurrent endometrial papillary carcinoma.
* Determine the objective response and duration of response in patients treated with this regimen.
* Determine the acute side effects of this regimen in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

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

Patients are followed every 12 weeks.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: Approximately 16-29 patients will be accrued for this study.
