Summary

Background:

* Ixabepilone is a member of the class of drugs called epothilones. These drugs interfere with the ability of cancer cells to replicate.
* Epothilones are similar to taxanes, another class of drugs, which includes the drug Taxol. Taxol is widely used to treat a variety of cancers.
* Ixabepilone can work in cells that are resistant to Taxol.

Objectives:

* To determine whether ixabepilone is effective for treating cervical cancer.

Eligibility:

* Women 18 years of age or older with cervical cancer.

Design:

* Patients receive ixabepilone intravenously (through a vein) over 60 minutes on the first 5 days of each 21-day treatment cycle. Their dosage may be adjusted according to how their bodies respond to the drug.
* The number of cycles each woman receives depends on her response to the treatment.
* Patients have CT (computed tomography) scans and other tests before starting treatment and then every other treatment cycle to determine the response of the tumor to ixabepilone.
* Patients who can undergo a tumor biopsy (surgical removal of a sample of tumor tissue) are asked to have a biopsy done before starting treatment with ixabepilone and again on the fourth or fifth day of treatment. This procedure is optional.
