SU5416 in Treating Patients With Metastatic or Locally Recurrent Colorectal Cancer
Summary
Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of SU5416 in treating patients who have metastatic or locally recurrent colorectal cancer. SU5416 may stop the growth of colorectal cancer by stopping blood flow to the tumor.
Description
OBJECTIVES:
I. Determine the objective response rate and disease stabilization rates of patients with previously treated metastatic or locally recurrent colorectal cancer treated with SU5416.
II. Determine the median and overall survival and time to progression in this patient population receiving this treatment.
III. Determine the toxicity of SU5416 in these patients.
OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.
Patient receive SU5416 IV over 60 minutes twice weekly for 4 weeks. Treatment continues for a minimum of 2 courses in the absence of unacceptable toxicity or disease progression.
Patients are followed every 2 weeks for 4 weeks.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 17-37 patients will be accrued for this study within 12-18 months.

Medical and Biotech [MESH] Definitions
Colorectal Neoplasms
Tumors or cancer of the COLON or the RECTUM or both. Risk factors for colorectal cancer include chronic ULCERATIVE COLITIS; FAMILIAL POLYPOSIS COLI; exposure to ASBESTOS; and irradiation of the CERVIX UTERI.
Genes, Mcc
Tumor suppressor genes located in the 5q21 region on the long arm of human chromosome 5. The mutation of these genes is associated with the formation of colorectal cancer (MCC stands for mutated in colorectal cancer).
Genes, Dcc
Tumor suppressor genes located in the 18q21-qter region of human chromosome 18. The absence of these genes is associated with the formation of colorectal cancer (DCC stands for deleted in colorectal cancer). The products of these genes show significant homology to neural cell adhesion molecules and other related cell surface glycoproteins.
Colorectal Neoplasms, Hereditary Nonpolyposis
A group of autosomal-dominant inherited diseases in which COLON CANCER arises in discrete adenomas. Unlike FAMILIAL POLYPOSIS COLI with hundreds of polyps, hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal neoplasms occur much later, in the fourth and fifth decades. HNPCC has been associated with germline mutations in mismatch repair (MMR) genes. It has been subdivided into Lynch syndrome I or site-specific colonic cancer, and LYNCH SYNDROME II which includes extracolonic cancer.
Tumor Suppressor Protein P53
Nuclear phosphoprotein encoded by the p53 gene (GENES, P53) whose normal function is to control CELL PROLIFERATION and APOPTOSIS. A mutant or absent p53 protein has been found in LEUKEMIA; OSTEOSARCOMA; LUNG CANCER; and COLORECTAL CANCER.
