Objectives

Primary

  1. Determine the maximum tolerated dose of intraperitoneal carboplatin when administered with paclitaxel in patients with stage II-IV ovarian epithelial, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer who had initial debulking surgery.
  2. Determine the feasibility of this regimen in these patients.

Secondary

  1. Determine the toxicity profile of this regimen in these patients.
  2. Determine the response rate (in patients with measurable disease who are in the expanded cohort) and progression-free survival of patients treated with this regimen.

  • Alkaline phosphatase ≤ 3 times ULN
  • Bilirubin ≤ 1.5 times ULN
  • No acute hepatitis

Renal

  • Creatinine ≤ 2.0 mg/dL

Cardiovascular

  • No unstable angina
  • No myocardial infarction within the past 6 months
  • Cardiac conduction abnormalities (e.g., bundle branch block or heart block) allowed provided the patient's cardiac status has been stable for at least 6 months before study entry

Other

  • No neuropathy (sensory and motor) > grade 1
  • No active infection requiring antibiotics
  • No circumstances that would preclude study participation
  • No other invasive malignancies within the past 5 years except non-melanoma skin cancer or localized breast cancer

Expected Enrollment

64

A total of 3-64 patients (3-24 for dose escalation and 20-40 for feasibility) will be accrued for this study within 15 months.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome(s)

Maximum tolerated dose of intraperitoneal carboplatin when administered with paclitaxel
Feasibility of treatment

Secondary Outcome(s)

Toxicity profile
Response rate (in patients with measurable disease who are in the expanded cohort) and progression-free survival

Outline

This is a multicenter, dose-escalation study of intraperitoneal carboplatin.

Patients receive paclitaxel IV over 3 hours followed by intraperitoneal carboplatin over 15 minutes on day 1. Treatment repeats every 21 days for up to 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of carboplatin until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 3 or 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity. Once the MTD is determined, an additional 20-40 patients are treated at that dose level.

Patients are followed every 3 months for 2 years, every 6 months for 3 years, and then annually thereafter.

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.
