  Purpose

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 consisting of liposomal doxorubicin, paclitaxel, and carboplatin in treating patients who have untreated ovarian, peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer.


Condition Intervention Phase
Fallopian Tube Cancer
Ovarian Cancer
Peritoneal Cavity Cancer
Drug: carboplatin
Drug: paclitaxel
Drug: pegylated liposomal doxorubicin hydrochloride
Phase I

Study Type: Interventional
Study Design: Treatment
Official Title: A Phase I Study of Paclitaxel, Carboplatin, and Increasing Doses of Doxil in Untreated Ovarian, Peritoneal, and Tubal Carcinoma

Estimated Enrollment: 48
Study Start Date: March 1999
Primary Completion Date: January 2007 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Detailed Description:

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine the maximum tolerated dose of doxorubicin HCl liposome when administered with paclitaxel and carboplatin in patients with previously untreated ovarian epithelial, peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer.
  • Determine the toxicity of this treatment regimen in these patients.
  • Evaluate measurable disease in patients treated with this regimen.

OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study of doxorubicin HCl liposome (LipoDox).

Patients receive LipoDox IV on day 1, carboplatin IV over 3 hours on days 1 and 22, and paclitaxel IV over 1 hour on days 1, 8, 15, 22, 29, and 36. Treatment repeats every 42 days for 4 courses in the absence of unacceptable toxicity or disease progression.

Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of LipoDox 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. An additional cohort of 12 patients receives LipoDox at the MTD with carboplatin and paclitaxel as above.

Patients are followed every 3 months for 2 years, every 6 months for 3 years, and then annually thereafter.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: Approximately 48 patients will be accrued for this study within 2 years.
