Brief Summary: Troglitazone may help liposarcoma cells develop into normal cells This was a single arm open-label study with a two-stage design to evaluate troglitazone in patients with liposarcoma stratified by histologic subtype
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES
I To evaluate the clinical activity of troglitazone in patients with malignant liposarcoma stratified by histologic subtype
II To perform correlative imaging biological and biochemical testing of patients in order to define the degree to which in vivo terminal differentiation may be promoted by this therapeutic intervention
III To evaluate the tolerance and safety of troglitazone in this patient population
PROJECTED ACCRUAL
Initially 14 patients of each of the 5 histologic subtypes of liposarcoma will be accrued If 1 or more patients show evidence of biological response an additional 16 patients of each subtype will be accrued for a total of 30 patients per subtype If 4 or more of 30 patients achieve biological response then troglitazone will be deemed promising in that histologic subtype
