Carboplatin Plus Docetaxel and Paclitaxel in Treating Patients With Stage III or Stage IV Ovarian Epithelial, Fallopian Tube, or Primary Peritoneal Cavity Carcinoma (Cancer)
This study is currently recruiting participants.
Verified by National Cancer Institute (NCI), January 2009
Sponsors and Collaborators: Gynecologic Oncology Group
National Cancer Institute (NCI)
Information provided by: National Cancer Institute (NCI)
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00085358
  Purpose

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as carboplatin, docetaxel, and paclitaxel, work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug and giving them in different ways may kill more tumor cells.

PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of intraperitoneal infusions of carboplatin when given together with intravenous infusions of either docetaxel or paclitaxel followed by intraperitoneal paclitaxel in treating patients with stage III or stage IV ovarian epithelial, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cavity carcinoma (cancer).

Official Title: A Phase I Trial Of Intravenous Paclitaxel Intraperitoneal Carboplatin And Intraperitoneal Paclitaxel Or Intravenous Docetaxel, Intraperitoneal Carboplatin, Intraperitoneal Paclitaxel In Patients With Previously Untreated Epithelial Ovarian Carcinoma, Fallopian Tube Or Primary Peritoneal Carcinoma

Further study details as provided by National Cancer Institute (NCI):

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of intraperitoneal (IP) carboplatin when given in combination with paclitaxel IV followed by IP paclitaxel as assessed by CTC 3.0 toxicity dose delay or reduction at 30 days [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
  • MTD of docetaxel IV, intraperitoneal (IP) carboplatin when given in combination with IP paclitaxel as assessed by CTC 3.0 toxicity dose delay or reduction at 30 days [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
  • Toxicity of the MTD of these regimens as assessed by CTC 3.0 after 6 courses [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
  • Standardize intraperitoneal catheter placement techniques as assessed by complications or port failures after 6 courses [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Quality of life as assessed by NTX during each course, every 3 months for 1 year after completion of treatment, and at 1 year after completion of treatment [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Estimated Enrollment: 40

Estimated Primary Completion Date: March 2006 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Detailed Description:

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of intraperitoneal (IP) carboplatin when given in combination with IV paclitaxel followed by IP paclitaxel in patients with stage III or IV ovarian epithelial, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cavity carcinoma.
  • Determine the MTD of IP carboplatin and IV docetaxel when given in combination with IP paclitaxel in these patients.
  • Determine the feasibility of treating patients with these regimens.
  • Determine the dose-limiting toxic effects and complications in patients treated with these regimens.
  • Evaluate the neurotoxicity of this regimen at each cycle using the FACT/GOG-NTX4 assessment tool to determine dose reduction in these patients.
  • Evaluate the techniques used for intraperitoneal catheter placement, surgical procedures, and reporting of outcomes in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a 2-part, multicenter, dose-escalation study of intraperitoneal (IP) carboplatin. Patients in the dose-escalation phase are not eligible to enter the feasibility phase.

  • Dose-escalation phase: Patients receive IP carboplatin over 15 minutes and paclitaxel IV over 3 hour on day 1 and IP paclitaxel over 15 minutes on day 8.

Cohorts of 3 patients receive escalating dose of IP 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 of IP carboplatin is determined, the study proceeds to the feasibility phase.

  • Feasibility phase: Patients receive IP carboplatin as in phase I and docetaxel IV over 1 hour on day 1 and IP paclitaxel as in the dose-escalation phase I on day 8.

In both phases, treatment repeats every 21 days for 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Patients are followed every 3 months for 1 year.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 3-40 patients will be accrued for this study (3-20 in the dose-escalation phase and 20 in the feasibility phase).
