Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • To assess the response rate of carboplatin in combination with pemetrexed in patients with recurrent platinum-sensitive epithelial ovarian cancer, fallopian tube cancer or peritoneal cancer.

    This study has now been published: Matulonis U.A.,Horowitz N, Campos S, Lee H., Lee J., Krasner C., Berlin S., Roche M., Duska L, Pereira L, Kendall D, Penson R. Phase II Study of Carboplatin and Pemetrexed for the Treatment of Platinum-Sensitive Recurrent Ovarian Cancer. J Clin Oncol. 2008:26(35):5761-6

    2 years

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • To assess time to progression, progression-free survival, and overall survival in this patient population

  • to assess toxicities of treatment with combination carboplatin and pemetrexed.

You may qualify if:

  • Diagnosis of platinum-sensitive recurrence of epithelial ovarian cancer, primary peritoneal cancer, or fallopian tube cancer
  • The following histologic subtypes are eligible: papillary serous, endometrioid, mucinous, clear cell, adenocarcinomas, transitional, and mixtures of the above.
  • At least one measurable lesion according to RECIST criteria via CT or MRI scan
  • Received a platinum-containing regimen at initial diagnosis
  • ECOG performance status of 0,1 or 2

  • Prior malignancy except adequately treated carcinoma in situ of the uterine cervix, incidental stage I endometrial cancer, basal cell or squamous cell skin cancer or breast cancer (invasive or ductal carcinoma in situ) of which the patient has been disease-free for at least five years
  • Routine prophylactic use of G-CSF or GM-CSF or blood transfusions within 2 weeks
  • Clinically significant cardiac disease as defined by: history of unstable angina within 6 months; history of symptomatic ventricular arrhythmias; history of congestive heart failure; history of myocardial infarction within 6 months
  • Uncontrolled hypercalcemia or diabetes mellitus
  • Any signs of intestinal obstruction with bowel function and/or nutrition
  • Grade 2 or greater peripheral neuropathy
  • Participation in an investigational study within three weeks
  • History of anaphylactic shock to prior platinum chemotherapy
