Brief Summary: RATIONALE Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die Colony-stimulating factors such as filgrastim 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

PURPOSE Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combining gemcitabine docetaxel and filgrastim in treating patients who have recurrent or persistent leiomyosarcoma or soft tissue sarcoma that cannot be removed by surgery
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Evaluate the activity of gemcitabine plus docetaxel administered with filgrastim G-CSF support in terms of disease response in patients with recurrent or persistent unresectable leiomyosarcoma or other soft tissue sarcoma
Determine the tolerability of this regimen in these patients
Correlate response with tumor expression of the apoptosis-regulating proteins bax bcl-2 and survivin in these patients

OUTLINE Patients are stratified according to prior radiotherapy to the pelvis yes vs no

Patients receive gemcitabine IV over 90 minutes on days 1 and 8 followed by docetaxel IV over 1 hour on day 8 and filgrastim G-CSF subcutaneously on days 9-15 Treatment repeats every 3 weeks for 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity Patients with a partial response may receive 2 additional courses of therapy

Patients are followed every 3 months for 1 year or until disease progression

PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 38-82 patients 19-43 with uterine leiomyosarcoma and 19-39 with other soft tissue sarcoma will be accrued for this study
