A Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Caelyx in Combination With Carboplatin in Patients With Ovarian Cancer Recurrent Within Six to Twelve Months After Initial Carboplatin and Paclitaxel Chemotherapy (P03625)

Doxorubicin has been used to treat ovarian cancer as part of different combination therapies, but high cumulative doses should be avoided because of the risk of cardiotoxicity. Pegylated Liposomal Doxorubicin (Caelyx) has been developed to reduce the risk of cardiotoxicity. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Caelyx in combination with carboplatin in women with recurrent ovarian cancer.

Treatment and study plan

Pegylated liposomal doxorubicin

Drug

Subjects will receive Caleyx 30 mg/m2 intravenously on Day 1 of each 4-week cycle, during 6 cycles. Patients still achieving clinical benefit after a total of 6 cycles may continue therapy.

Other names: SCH 200746

carboplatin

Drug

Subjects will receive carboplatin dosed to target AUC of 5 mg/mL.min, intravenously, on Day 1 of each 4-week cycle, after the Caelyx infusion, during 6 cycles. Patients still achieving clinical benefit after a total of 6 cycles may continue therapy.

Primary outcomes

  1. Complete response rate, according to RECIST criteria; Partial response rate, according to RECIST criteria

    Time frame: Complete or partial response: re-evaluation 4 weeks later to confirm response; Upon completion of chemotherapy: follow-up every 2 months until documentation of progressive disease; All patients will be followed for a minimum of one year for survival

Secondary outcomes

  1. Safety and tolerability; Duration of response; CA-125 response; Time to progression; Overall survival

    Time frame: All patients will be followed for a minimum of one year for survival
