DOXIL for Consolidation Therapy in Ovarian Cancer.

Completed · Phase 2

Conditions studied: Ovarian Neoplasm

In brief

The primary objective for this study is to evaluate the development, frequency and severity of hand foot syndrome (HFS) in ovarian cancer subjects treated with Doxil®, as consolidation therapy, on an every two week schedule. The secondary objective for this study is to assess one-year progression free survival rate (PFS).

• Subjects must not have had other chemotherapy, radiation, hormonal, or biotherapy within four weeks of initiating Doxil therapy.
• Doxil treatment must begin within 6 weeks following last cycle of initial chemotherapy.
• Subjects may have a second look laparoscopy, however, there must be no gross disease present (microscopic disease or pathologically negative).
• Subjects must have adequate renal function: creatinine < 2.5 mg/dL (< 200 mmol/L).
• Subjects must have adequate liver functions: total bilirubin </=1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN), transaminases (AST/ALT) </=2.5 x ULN
• Subjects must have adequate bone marrow function: Platelets >100,000 cells/mm3, Hemoglobin > 9.0g/dL and ANC > 1,500 cells/mm3.
• Subjects must be age 18 or greater.
• Subjects must have signed approved informed consent.
• Subjects must have a Zubrod Performance Status of 0 or 1. (Appendix A)
• With the exception of non-melanoma skin cancer, subjects with other invasive malignancies who had (or have) any evidence of the other cancer present within the last 5 years, or whose previous cancer treatment contraindicates this protocol therapy are excluded.
• Subjects must have no other major systemic medical illness expected to affect survival.
• Subjects with a life expectancy > 12 weeks.
• Subjects must have a MUGA scan or 2-d echocardiogram indicating an ejection fraction (LVEF) of > than 50% within 42 days prior to first dose of study drug. The method used at baseline must be used for final monitoring.

You may not qualify if…

• Prior therapy with Doxil, anthracyclines, or anthracendedione. History of hypersensitivity reactions attributed to a conventional formulation of doxorubicin HCL or the components of Doxil®
