Abstract

The clinical impact of ET-743 (trabectedin; Yondelis) in women with leiomyosarcoma and Undifferentiated uterine sarcoma in patients previously treated with chemotherapy is investigated. Current data show a clinical benefit in 2/5 patients, of which I had a partial remission during 9 months. Pooling the treatment outcomes with literature data, a response in 5 (38%) of 13 patients and a clinical benefit in 7 (54%) of 13 patients for all high-grade uterine sarcomas is calculated. When only uterine leiomyosarcomas are concerned, response rate is 5 (45%) of I I patients with a clinical benefit in 7 (64%) of I I patients. These results on the Use of ET-743 in uterine sarcoma patients support the conductance of larger trials
