Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
chemotherapy with Carboplatin plus pegylated Liposomal Doxorubicin (CLD): pegylated Liposomal Doxorubicin was administered as an intravenous infusion of 90 min at a dose of 45 mg/m2 followed by an intravenous infusion of 1 hour of Carboplatin at Area Under the Curve (AUC) 5, on day 1. Cycles were repeated every 28 days. Premedication included 20 mg dexamethasone, 4mg dyphenidramine, 150 mg ranitidine administered intravenously immediatelly prior to pegylated Liposomal Doxorubicin administration. The dose of carboplatin based on AUC was calculated by the estimated creatinine clearance using Calvert’s formula. Six cycles of chemotherapy were administered unless evidence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity occurred.

Treatment: Drugs
Comparator / control treatment
chemotherapy with Carboplatin plus Paclitaxel (CP):Paclitaxel was administered at 175 mg/m2 as a 3hr intravenous infusion followed by an 1hour intravenous infusion of Carboplatin at an AUC5, on day 1. Cycles were repeated every 21 days. All patients received standard premedication of dexamethasone, dyphenhydramine and ranitidine prior to paclitaxel (20 mg dexamethasone, 4mg dyphenidramine, 150 mg ranitidine were administered orally 12 hours prior to paclitaxel and the same doses intravenously again immediatelly prior to paclitaxel administration). Patients in the intervention group received the above premedication only immediately prior to liposomal doxorubicin intravenously . The dose of carboplatin based on AUC was calculated by the estimated creatinine clearance using Calvert’s formula. Six cycles of chemotherapy were administered unless evidence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity occurred.

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 238008 0
response was assessed clinically, and by imaging of measurable disease sites, ie by Computerised Tomography (CT) scans of chest, abdomen/pelvis as indicated and tumour marker measurements. Standard World Health Organisation (WHO) criteria were applied for assessment of response, as these were commonly used prior to the broad introduction of Response Criteria In Solid Tumours (RECIST) criteria, by our group and others, and at the time when this study was initiated. For patients without measurable disease, response was determined based on repetitive Cancer Antigen-125 (CA125) measurements using the algorithm proposed by Rustin and according to CA-125 Rustin's criteria.
Timepoint [1] 238008 0
response was assessed at the completion of every second cycle, i.e at the beggining of cycle 3, at the beggining of cycle 5 and then after completion of cycle 6.
Secondary outcome [1] 242147 0
Toxicity criteria were those adopted by the World Health Organization.
Timepoint [1] 242147 0
toxicity was assessed on day 1 of each cycle, detailing toxicity-related events of each previously completed cycle

Summary
Brief summary
Platinum-based combinations are standard 2nd-line treatment for platinum-sensitive ovarian cancer. This randomized phase II study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a carboplatin-based combination with pegylated LD versus the standard combination of carboplatin with paclitaxel in patients with ovarian cancer relapsing at least 6 months after 1st-line platinum-based therapy. It is hypothesised that the combination of carboplatin-pegylated LD will be at least as effective with a more favourable toxicity profile than the standard combination with paclitaxel.
