EU-20332, NCT00075543

Objectives

Primary

  1. Determine the maximum tolerated dose of docetaxel and oxaliplatin in patients with stage III or IV ovarian epithelial cancer.
  2. Determine the toxicity of this regimen in these patients.

Secondary

  1. Determine the tolerance profile of patients treated with this regimen.
  2. Determine a recommended phase III dose of this regimen in these patients.
  3. Determine the efficacy of this regimen, in terms of objective response rate and radiological and biological response rate (CA 125), in these patients.
  4. Determine the complete pathological response in patients treated with this regimen as first-line therapy.
  5. Determine the duration of the objective response in patients treated with this regimen.
  6. Determine the time to progression in patients treated with this regimen.

Outline

This is a dose-escalation, multicenter study.

Patients receive docetaxel IV over 1 hour and oxaliplatin IV over 2 hours on day 1. Treatment repeats every 3 weeks for 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Patients are followed monthly for 3 months.

Trial Start Date 2003-07-11

Note: The purpose of most clinical trials listed in this database is to test new cancer treatments, or new methods of diagnosing, screening, or preventing cancer. Because all potentially harmful side effects are not known before a trial is conducted, dose and schedule modifications may be required for participants if they develop side effects from the treatment or test. The therapy or test described in this clinical trial is intended for use by clinical oncologists in carefully structured settings, and may not prove to be more effective than standard treatment. A responsible investigator associated with this clinical trial should be consulted before using this protocol.
