Combination Chemotherapy in Treating Patients With Stage III or Stage IV Ovarian Epithelial or Primary Peritoneal Cancer Clinical Trials Info presented on Clinical Trials Search isn't intended to be a substitute for certified health advice, travels to or treatment by using a genuine physician. We are not physicians. Always consult your dr. on Combination Chemotherapy in Treating Patients With Stage III or Stage IV Ovarian Epithelial or Primary Peritoneal Cancer conditions. Clinical Trials Search.org is a site committed to listing clinical research studies in human subjects. Combination Chemotherapy in Treating Patients With Stage III or Stage IV Ovarian Epithelial or Primary Peritoneal Cancer Clinical research trials and Combination Chemotherapy in Treating Patients With Stage III or Stage IV Ovarian Epithelial or Primary Peritoneal Cancer health trials occur in hundreds of cities throughout the U.S.A.. A clinical trial or clinical study is a research project with human volunteer subjects. Clinical drug trials and pharmaceutical clinical trials typically assess the effectivity of new drugs. The propose of the studies / undertakings is to resolve certain human health questions. Clinical trials are a popular means for physicians, government agencies, and private sector companies to locate treatments for all sorts of conditions, including Combination Chemotherapy in Treating Patients With Stage III or Stage IV Ovarian Epithelial or Primary Peritoneal Cancer. Combination Chemotherapy in Treating Patients With Stage III or Stage IV Ovarian Epithelial or Primary Peritoneal Cancer Clinical Trials and other clinical trials permit volunteers to acquire medical treatment choices before they are available to the masses. Some times the test subjects obtain professional assistance for free, and every now and again they are compensated for their time. Sometimes there is a cost for a Combination Chemotherapy in Treating Patients With Stage III or Stage IV Ovarian Epithelial or Primary Peritoneal Cancer clinical trial. Participants oftentimes recieve the most expert healthcare available for their Combination Chemotherapy in Treating Patients With Stage III or Stage IV Ovarian Epithelial or Primary Peritoneal Cancer condition. Hazards are a reality, however, and can include extra or frequent physician visits, health risks (potentially life-endangering), and/or the treatment being uneffective. Trials are federally governed with rigorous guidelines to protect clinical trials subjects.

Combination Chemotherapy in Treating Patients With Stage III or Stage IV Ovarian Epithelial or Primary Peritoneal Cancer



Combination Chemotherapy in Treating Patients With Stage III or Stage IV Ovarian Epithelial or Primary Peritoneal Cancer

For Condition: ovarian mucinous cystadenocarcinoma,stage 4 ovarian epithelial cancer,ovarian mixed epithelial carcinoma,ovarian endometrioid adenocarcinoma,ovarian serous cystadenocarcinoma,peritoneal cavity cancer,stage 3 ovarian epithelial cancer,ovarian undifferentiated adenocarcinoma,ovarian clear cell cystadenocarcinoma,Brenner Tumor

Synopsis: 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 may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy in treating patients who have stage III or stage IV ovarian epithelial or primary peritoneal cancer.
Details: OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the feasibility of administering multiple courses of carboplatin and topotecan without excessive dose modification or course delay in patients with previously untreated ovarian epithelial or primary peritoneal carcinoma. II. Describe the response rate and progression-free interval in these patients with this treatment regimen. III. Determine pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic parameters related to the sequence of carboplatin and topetecan administration in these patients. PROTOCOL OUTLINE: Patients are assigned to one of three treatment regimens. Regimen I: Patients receive carboplatin IV over 30 minutes on day 1 followed by topotecan IV over 30 minutes on days 1-3. Treatment continues every 21 days for 4 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients then receive paclitaxel IV over 3 hours followed by carboplatin IV over 30 minutes on day 1. Treatment continues every 21 days for 4 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Regimen II: Patients receive topotecan IV over 30 minutes on days 1-3 followed by carboplatin IV over 30 minutes on day 3. Treatment continues every 21 days for 4 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients then receive paclitaxel IV over 3 hours followed by carboplatin IV over 30 minutes on day 1. Treatment continues every 21 days for 4 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Regimen III: Patients receive topotecan IV over 30 minutes on days 1-5 followed by carboplatin IV over 30 minutes on day 5. Treatment continues every 21 days for 4 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients then receive paclitaxel IV over 3 hours followed by carboplatin IV over 30 minutes on day 1. Treatment continues every 21 days for 4 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients are followed at 1 month and then every 3 months for 1 year. PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 15-80 patients will be accrued for this study within 2 years.
