A Phase III Randomized Trial of Intravenous Paclitaxel and Cisplatin Versus Intravenous Paclitaxel, Intraperitoneal Cisplatin and Intraperitoneal Paclitaxel in Patients With Optimal Stage III Epithelial Ovarian Carcinoma or Primary Peritoneal Carcinoma
In Brief
A Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating cisplatin, paclitaxel, and 1 other intervention for Ovarian Cancer and Primary Peritoneal Cavity Cancer. Completed, enrolled 384 participants across 67 sites in 2 countries.
Detailed Summary
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug and giving drugs in different ways may kill more tumor cells. It is not yet known whether intravenous two-drug combination chemotherapy is more effective than intravenous and intraperitoneal infusions of three-drug combination chemotherapy for treating primary peritoneal or stage III epithelial ovarian cancer. PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of intravenous two-drug combination chemotherapy with intravenous and intraperitoneal three-drug combination chemotherapy in treating patients who have primary peritoneal or stage III epithelial ovarian cancer.
