Brief Summary: 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 Colony-stimulating factors such as filgrastim or pegfilgrastim may increase the number of immune cells found in bone marrow or peripheral blood and may help a persons immune system recover from the side effects of chemotherapy This phase II trial is studying how well combination chemotherapy plus filgrastim or pegfilgrastim works in treating patients with recurrent or persistent cancer of the uterus
Detailed Description: PRIMARY OBJECTIVES
I Determine the antitumor activity of docetaxel gemcitabine and filgrastim G-CSF or pegfilgrastim in patients with persistent or recurrent uterine leiomyosarcoma
II Determine the nature and degree of toxicity of this regimen in these patients
OUTLINE
Patients receive gemcitabine IV over 90 minutes on days 1 and 8 docetaxel IV over 1 hour on day 8 and filgrastim G-CSF subcutaneously SC on days 9-15 or pegfilgrastim SC on day 9 only Courses repeat every 3 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity
Patients are followed every 3 months for 2 years every 6 months for 3 years and then annually thereafter
PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 19-51 patients will be accrued for this study within 10-24 months
