About this study

Official title: National, Randomized, Phase II Study Comparing Efficacy of Weekly Administration of Paclitaxel in Monotherapy or in Combination With Topotecan or Carboplatin in Patients With Epithelial Ovarian Cancer in Early Relapse

This study will look at the efficacy and safety of weekly administration of paclitaxel (Taxol®) in monotherapy compared to paclitaxel in combination with topotecan or carboplatin in patients with ovarian cancer in early relapse.

Read the detailed description

The main purpose of this research study is to find out if treatment of early relapse of ovarian or fallopian tube or peritoneal cancer with paclitaxel (Taxol*) weekly administered, in lower doses in combination with topotecan (Hycamtin*) or carboplatin will improve efficacy compared to weekly administration of paclitaxel in monotherapy. Tolerance in the three groups will be compared.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Paclitaxel, Topotecan and Carboplatin in people with Ovarian Cancer and Fallopian Tube Cancer, run by ARCAGY/ GINECO GROUP at 1 site in France.

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

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 8 inclusion and 12 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Feb 2011. 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 France. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Progression-free survival of patients in the three groups. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

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 25 Feb 2011.
