RATIONALE: Pirfenidone may prevent or lessen fibrosis caused by radiation therapy.
PURPOSE: Pilot trial to study the effectiveness of pirfenidone in preventing or lessening fibrosis in patients who have undergone radiation therapy for cancer.
OBJECTIVES:
OUTLINE: Patients receive oral pirfenidone 3 times daily. Treatment continues for up to 2 years in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Principal functional abilities are assessed at baseline, every 3 months, and at termination of therapy.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 10-25 patients will be accrued for this study within 1 year.
