Brief Summary: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of thalidomide in treating patients who have recurrent or persistent cancer of the uterus Thalidomide may stop the growth of cancer by stopping blood flow to the tumor
Detailed Description: PRIMARY OBJECTIVES
I Determine the antitumor cytostatic activity of thalidomide as measured by the probability of progression-free survival PFS for at least 6 months in patients with recurrent or persistent uterine leiomyosarcoma
II Determine the nature and degree of the toxicity of this drug in these patients
III Determine the partial and complete response rates in patients treated with this drug
IV Determine the duration of PFS and overall survival of patients treated with this drug
V Determine the effect of this drug on initial performance status in these patients
VI Determine the effects of this drug at 4 weeks on endogenous angiogenesis factors vascular endothelial growth factor and basic fibroblast growth factor in plasma and urine of these patients
VII Assess the association of endogenous angiogenesis factors with clinical outcome PFS in patients treated with this drug
OUTLINE This is a multicenter study
Patients receive oral thalidomide once daily on days 1-28 Courses repeat every 4 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
