Summary

In patient with a platinum sensitive ovarian cancer recurrence is demonstrated that the re-challenge with a compound of platinum-based, or a treatment with carboplatin in combination with paclitaxel , determines a rate of clinical response similar to the primary treatment, which is all the more important as the longer the time to progression from the primary therapy.In the clinical setting there are many studies that have shown activity of oxaliplatin and docetaxel in patients with advanced ovarian cancer. Two recent studies have shown clinical efficacy of the combination carboplatin / docetaxel in the first line oxaliplatin / paclitaxel to recurrence of disease, confirming the data already obtained from studies of activity in a single agent.In surgery it has been demonstrated in a meta-analysis including approximately 7000 patients in advanced stages of disease, that the extent of cytoreduction is the most powerful determinant of survival.The role of secondary surgical cytoreduction in case of recurrent disease has yet to be determined because of the lack of prospective randomized clinical studies that may highlight the superiority of such aggressive treatment.The combination of aggressive cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal intraoperative chemotherapy (CHIP) used in recent clinical studies showed a prolonged time to progression and disease-free survival in patients with ovarian cancer. However, these studies were conducted on groups of patients with very different among themselves and with other drugs, it is difficult to draw definitive conclusions.Given the activities of oxaliplatin and docetaxel and their non-cross-resistance we designed a Phase 2 clinical trial on treatment of patients with recurrent ovarian cancer, platinum-sensitive, treated with surgical cytoreduction with hyperthermic oxaliplatin-based intraoperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy and following consolidation treatment with oxaliplatin and docetaxel systemically every 21 days.

Conditions

  • Ovarian Epithelial Cancer Recurrent

Interventions

PROCEDURE

HIPEC

surgery plus HIPEC with the closed technique(perfusion of the abdominal cavity with a solution containing oxaliplatin 460 mg/m2 in 2L/m2 heated saline at 42°C).The global temperature will be measured by thermometer inserted into the esophagus and rectum. A Swan-Ganz catheter will be kept in place during the HIPEC for monitoring cardiovascular function.
