Adjuvant Doxorubicin and Trabectedin for the Treatment of Patients with Uterine Leiomyosarcoma

Trial Status: active

This phase II trial tests how well adjuvant doxorubicin and trabectedin works in treating patients with uterine leiomyosarcoma. Doxorubicin is in a class of medications called anthracyclines. Doxorubicin damages the cell’s deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and may kill cancer cells. It also blocks a certain enzyme needed for cell division and DNA repair. Chemotherapy drugs, such as trabectedin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving doxorubicin and trabectedin may work better in treating patients with uterine leiomyosarcoma.
