NCT00003549 | Completed Phase 2 DMC

• 3 other identifiers: CDR0000066606U10CA032102S9716
• Study Type: interventional
• Target: 80
• Locations: 1 country
• Sites: 84

Brief Summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combining cyclophosphamide, methotrexate, and fluorouracil in treating patients with Merkel cell cancer.

Conditions

Neuroendocrine Carcinoma of the Skin

Keywords

stage II neuroendocrine carcinoma of the skin; stage III neuroendocrine carcinoma of the skin; recurrent neuroendocrine carcinoma of the skin

Interventions

CMF regimen DRUG

cyclophosphamide DRUG

fluorouracil DRUG

methotrexate DRUG
