SWOG-S9912
S9912, NCT00003896

Objectives

  1. Determine the efficacy of intraperitoneal (IP) cisplatin, IP and IV paclitaxel, and IV doxorubicin HCl liposome, in terms of progression-free survival and overall survival, in patients with optimally debulked stage III ovarian epithelial, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer.
  2. Determine the feasibility of and toxic effects associated with this regimen in these patients.

Entry Criteria

Disease Characteristics:

  • Histologically confirmed stage III ovarian epithelial, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal carcinoma
    • Tumor involves one or both ovaries with microscopically confirmed peritoneal metastasis outside the pelvis and/or regional lymph node metastasis
    • No tumors of borderline or low malignant potential only
    • Mixed Mullerian tumors allowed


  • Must have optimal disease defined as no residual lesions after resection or residual disease such that no single lesion measures greater than 1 cm in diameter


  • Must have undergone staging exploratory laparotomy with tumor debulking within the past 70 days


Prior/Concurrent Therapy:

Biologic therapy:

  • No prior immunotherapy for ovarian cancer

Chemotherapy:

  • No prior chemotherapy for ovarian cancer

Endocrine therapy:

  • Not specified

Radiotherapy:

  • No prior pelvic radiotherapy for ovarian cancer

Surgery:

  • See Disease Characteristics
  • Recovered from all reversible surgery-related toxic effects

Other:

  • No other concurrent antitumor treatment
  • No concurrent antibiotics for infection of undetermined etiology

Patient Characteristics:

Age:

  • Not specified

Performance status:

  • SWOG 0-1

Life expectancy:

  • Not specified

Hematopoietic:

  • Granulocyte count ≥ 1,500/mm3
  • Platelet count ≥ 100,000/mm3

Hepatic:

  • Bilirubin ≤ 2 times upper limit of normal (ULN)
  • SGOT or SGPT ≤ 2 times ULN

Renal:

  • Creatinine clearance ≥ 50 mL/min

Cardiovascular:

  • No congestive heart failure
  • No cardiac arrhythmia
  • No myocardial infarction or unstable angina within the past 6 months
  • Patients with a history of myocardial disease must not have ischemia or pathologic arrhythmias and must have an ejection fraction > 50% by MUGA

Other:

  • Not pregnant or nursing
  • Fertile patients must use effective contraception
  • No active or uncontrolled infection
  • No concurrent fever
  • No grade 2 or greater sensory neuropathy
  • No severe gastrointestinal symptoms (i.e., partial obstruction) and/or bleeding, diarrhea, or abdominal tenderness suggestive of peritoneal irritation or infection
  • No erythema or tenderness of abdominal incision or port site suggestive of underlying infection
  • No other malignancy within the past five years except adequately treated basal cell or squamous cell skin cancer or carcinoma in situ of the cervix

Expected Enrollment

62

A total of 62 patients will be accrued for this study within 4 years.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome(s)

Progression-free survival

Outline

This is a multicenter study.

Patients receive paclitaxel IV over 3 hours on day 1, intraperitoneal (IP) cisplatin over 30-60 minutes on day 2, IP paclitaxel over 30-60 minutes on day 8, and doxorubicin HCl liposome IV over 1 hour on day 8. Patients not able to tolerate IP infusion receive paclitaxel IV and cisplatin IV on day 1 only. Treatment repeats every 28 days for 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Patients are followed every 6 months for 2 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.
