Letrozole in Uterine Leiomyosarcoma

This is a clinical trial to test letrozole in patients with uterine leiomyosarcoma. The main question is will treatment with letrozole extend progression-free survival in patients. Patients will receive 2/5 mg of letrozole daily.

Inclusion Criteria:Patient must have histologically confirmed uterine leiomyosarcoma with disease limited to the uterus (FIGO stage 1 or 2).Tumors must express ER positivity by immunohistochemistry (ER expression greater than or equal to 10% by immunohistochemistry).Must have completed hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oopherectomy no more than 12 weeks from initiation of therapyAll patients must have no measurable disease within 6 weeks of initiation of therapy. Measurable disease is defined by RECIST version 1.1.Patient must be able to swallow oral medications.Patient must have an ECOG performance status of 0 to 2.Patients must have adequate organ and marrow function as defined belowNOTE:Institutional/laboratory upper limit of normal = ULN Institutional/laboratory lower limit of normal = LLNBone marrow function:Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) greater than or equal to 1500/mclPlatelets greater than or equal to 100,000 cells/mclHemoglobin greater than or equal to 8 g/dL (Patients may receive erythrocyte transfusions to achieve this hemoglobin level at the discretion of the investigator. Initial treatment must not begin earlier than the day after erythrocyte transfusion).Renal function:Creatinine less than or equal to 1.5 x ULNHepatic function:Bilirubin less than or equal to 1.5 x ULN (Patients with Gilbert's syndrome with a total bilirubin ≤2 times ULN and direct bilirubin within normal limits are permitted).ALT (alanine aminotransferase) and AST (aspartate aminotransferase) less than or equal to 3 x ULNAlkaline phosphatase less than or equal to 2.5 x ULNAlbumin greater than or equal to 2.8 g/dLPatients must have signed an approved informed consent and authorization permitting release of personal health information.Patients must be at least 18 years of age.Exclusion Criteria:Patients who have a history of taking any aromatase inhibitor.Patients who do not have pure uterine sarcomas (i.e., no mixed malignant mullerian tumors).Patients with active or uncontrolled systemic infectionPatients with concomitant invasive malignancy or a history of other invasive malignancies, with the exception of non-melanoma skin cancer, are excluded if there is any evidence of other malignancy being present within the past two years. Patients are also excluded if their previous cancer treatment contraindicates this protocol.Patients who are pregnant or breast-feeding.Patients who are currently part of or have participated in any clinical investigation with an investigational drug within 30 days prior to dosing.Patients with any other severe concurrent disease, which would make the patient inappropriate for entry into this study, including significant hepatic, renal, or gastrointestinal diseases.Patients with history of uncontrolled cardiac disease; i.e., uncontrolled hypertension, unstable angina, recent myocardial infarction (within prior 6 months), uncontrolled congestive heart failure, and cardiomyopathy with an ejection fraction under 40%.Patients currently receiving chemotherapy or radiation therapy.Patients with duodenal stent or other GI disorder/defect that would interfere with absorption of oral medicationPatients deemed otherwise clinically unfit for clinical trial per investigators discretion
