Trial Design

3Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Arm III (observation)Experimental Treatment3 Interventions
Patients receive no further anticancer treatment until evidence of disease progression.
Group II: Arm I (paclitaxel poliglumex)Experimental Treatment3 Interventions
Patients receive polyglutamate paclitaxel IV over 10-20 minutes on day 1.Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 12 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Group III: Arm II (paclitaxel)Active Control3 Interventions
Patients receive paclitaxel IV over 3 hours on day 1. Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 12 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
