Official Title: Phase II Study Of Weekly Docetaxel In Patients With Advanced Epidermoid Carcinoma Of The Penis

Brief Summary:

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

PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of docetaxel in treating patients who have locally advanced or metastatic penile cancer.


Detailed Summary:

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine the confirmed complete and partial response rate in patients with locally advanced or metastatic epidermoid carcinoma of the penis treated with docetaxel.
  • Determine the progression-free and overall survival of patients treated with this drug.
  • Determine the qualitative and quantitative toxic effects of this drug in these patients.

OUTLINE: Patients receive docetaxel IV over 15-30 minutes on days 1, 8, and 15. Treatment repeats every 4 weeks for up to 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Patients are followed every 3 months for 1 year and then every 6 months for 2 years.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 20-40 patients will be accrued for this study within 3-5.8 years.
