Brief Summary

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

RATIONALE: Pemetrexed disodium may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well pemetrexed disodium works in treating patients with recurrent and unresectable or metastatic chondrosarcoma.

Detailed Description

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

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

* Determine the response rate (confirmed and unconfirmed complete response and partial response) in patients with recurrent and unresectable or metastatic chondrosarcoma treated with pemetrexed disodium.

Secondary

* Determine the toxicity of this drug in these patients.
* Correlate, preliminarily, response rates with deletions of methylthioadenosine phosphorylase (MTAP), as analyzed by fluorescence in-situ hybridization (FISH), in patients treated with this drug.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to prior chemotherapy (yes vs no).

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 the first dose of pemetrexed disodium and continuing until 21 days after the completion of pemetrexed disodium, patients receive cyanocobalamin (vitamin B\_12) intramuscularly once every 63 days and oral folic acid once daily.

NOTE: \*The duration of course 1 is 28 days; the duration of all subsequent courses is 21 days.

Patients achieving a complete response (CR) receive 2 additional courses beyond CR. Patients achieving a confirmed partial response (PR) that is resectable, proceed to surgical resection and then receive 2 additional courses of therapy after recovering from surgery. Patients achieving a confirmed PR that is not resectable continue treatment in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed every 3 months until disease progression and then every 6 months for up to 5 years.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 40-75 patients (20-40 in the previously treated stratum and 20-35 in the previously untreated stratum) will be accrued for this study within 20-37.5 months.
