Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages Any age
  • Women only
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child, Adult, Older adult

All patients must have biopsy proven ovarian cancer as determined by evaluation in the Laboratory of Pathology, NCI.

Germ cell and borderline histologies are specifically excluded.

Patients must have FIGO stage III and IV disease, or FIGO Stage IIC disease with poorly differentiated histology, and will undergo attempted surgical debulking prior to the initiation of chemotherapy.

Prior chemotherapy or radiation therapy will make a patient ineligible.

Performance status: less than or equal to ECOG 2.

Patients must have the following end organ function:

No brain involvement.

No history of myocardial infarction, cardiac arrhythmias requiring

therapy, right bundle branch block with left anterior hemiblock, and left bundle branch block.

Renal function: creatinine clearance greater than or equal to 60 cc/min; patients with ureteral obstruction must have this corrected prior to starting therapy.

Hepatic function: normal coagulation parameters, serum transaminases within 3 times upper limit of normal.

Neurologic function: no preexisting dysfunction greater than grade 1 (exclusive of mild vibratory delay).

No recent history of active GI bleeding.

Hematologic parameters prior to starting cycle 1 of therapy: total granulocyte count greater than 2000 and platelet count greater than 100,000.

Patients may not have had prior history of invasive malignancy with the exception of nonmelanoma skin cancer curatively treated.

Patients must be able to give written informed consent and express a willingness to meet all of the expected requirements of the protocol.

Patients must be able to begin therapy within 8 weeks of staging laparotomy and should have a central venous catheter placed for infusion of chemotherapy.

All patients must be registered by calling the Orkand Corporation at 402-1732 between the hours of 8:30 AM and 5:00 PM; eligibility criteria will be queried.

About this study

This is a Phase I study which addresses the feasibility and toxicity of adding taxol to the two drug combination which now comprises the standard of care in newly diagnosed advanced stage ovarian cancer, cisplatin and cyclophosphamide. These drugs will be given in a dose intensive fashion with the colony-stimulating factor, G-CSF. Newly diagnosed patients with ovarian cancer will be treated with this regimen to determine the optimal dose of this combination. The pharmacokinetics of taxol and cisplatin DNA-adducts will be studied as well.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing taxol in people with Ovarian Neoplasms, run by National Cancer Institute (NCI) at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Mar 2008. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 4 Mar 2008.
