Brief Summary:
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as irofulven, use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die.
PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well irofulven works in treating patients with recurrent or metastatic gastric cancer.
Detailed Description:
OBJECTIVES:
* Determine the response rate of patients with recurrent or metastatic gastric cancer treated with irofulven.
* Determine the toxicity profile of this drug in these patients.
* Determine the overall survival of patients treated with this drug.
OUTLINE: This is a non-randomized, open-label, multicenter study.
Patients receive irofulven IV over 30 minutes on days 1 and 8. Courses repeat every 3 weeks in the absence of disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or static disease after 4 courses in the absence of clinical benefit.
Patients are followed for survival.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 20-35 patients will be accrued for this study within 5-9 months.
