We are not physicians. Always consult your dr. about Temozolomide in Treating Patients With Mycosis Fungoides or Sezary Syndrome conditions. Clinical Trials Search.org is a site dedicated to listing clinical research studies in human subjects. Temozolomide in Treating Patients With Mycosis Fungoides or Sezary Syndrome Clinical research trials and Temozolomide in Treating Patients With Mycosis Fungoides or Sezary Syndrome health trials happen in many of localities throughout the U.S.. A clinical trial or clinical study is a research project with human volunteer subjects. Clinical drug trials and pharmaceutical clinical trials typically measure the effectualness of new drugs. The function of the studies / projects is to resolve particular human medical questions. Clinical trials are a popular manner for mDs, government agencies, and private sector corporations to discover remedies for all varieties of circumstances, like Temozolomide in Treating Patients With Mycosis Fungoides or Sezary Syndrome. Temozolomide in Treating Patients With Mycosis Fungoides or Sezary Syndrome Clinical Trials and other clinical trials allow volunteers to obtain healthcare treatment options before they are available to the masses. Some times the participants undergo professional assistance for free of charge, and occasionally they are paid for their time. Sometimes there is a cost for a Temozolomide in Treating Patients With Mycosis Fungoides or Sezary Syndrome clinical trial.

Temozolomide in Treating Patients With Mycosis Fungoides or Sezary Syndrome
For Condition: Cutaneous T-Cell Lymphoma,mycosis fungoides and Sezary syndrome
Status: Recruiting
Sponsor(s): Robert H. Lurie Cancer Center , National Cancer Institute (NCI)
Synopsis: RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of temozolomide in treating patients who have mycosis fungoides or Sezary syndrome that has not responded to previous treatment.
Details: OBJECTIVES: - Determine the response rate to temozolomide in patients with relapsed mycosis fungoides or Sezary syndrome. - Determine the toxic effects of this drug in these patients. - Correlate pretreatment AGT activity in tumor cells with response to this drug in these patients. OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients receive oral temozolomide once daily on days 1-5. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity for a maximum of 1 year. Patients are followed every 3 months. PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 12-37 patients will be accrued for this study within 2 years.
Eligibility:
Study Type: Interventional, Treatment
