EXPERIMENTALFollowing 3 or 4 cycles of systemic neoadjuvant chemotherapy and complete interval CC-0 surgery, patients in the study will receive 4 cycles of 21 days every 3 weeks of the regimen studied by Armstrong 8 and modified by GEICO 18: IV paclitaxel 175 mg /m2 (day 1) + IP cisplatin 100 mg/m2 (day 2) + IP paclitaxel 60 mg/m2 (day 8).
Interventions
Following 3 or 4 cycles of systemic neoadjuvant chemotherapy and complete interval CC-0 surgery, patients in the study will receive 4 cycles of 21 days every 3 weeks of the regimen studied by Armstrong 8 and modified by GEICO 18: IV paclitaxel 175 mg /m2 (day 1) + IP cisplatin 100 mg/m2 (day 2) + IP paclitaxel 60 mg/m2 (day 8).
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Women aged 18-70 years with a histologically proven diagnosis of FIGO stage IIIB-C/IV epithelial ovarian cancer (high-grade serous epithelial carcinoma)
- Absence of extraperitoneal disease.
- Good performance status: Karnofsky score \>70 or Performance status \<= 2
- Adequate liver function, defined as bilirubin \<0.15 times the upper limit of normal (ULN), aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase \<= 2.5 times ULN, and alkaline phosphatase \<= 3 times ULN.
- Adequate renal function, defined as serum creatinine \<= 1.5 times ULN
- Acceptable bone marrow function, defined as neutrophils \>1.5 x 106 L-1, hemoglobin \>10 g/dL-1, and platelets \>100.0 x 109 L-1
- Absence of cardiac, pulmonary, hepatic, renal, or neurological disease that contraindicates major surgery.
- Negative serum and urine pregnancy test results for women of childbearing potential at the screening visit.
- Administration of neoadjuvant chemotherapy with a total of 3 or 4 systemic cycles.
- Surgery with complete CC0 cytoreduction without digestive anastomoses.
- Patients who have signed the written IC.
You may not qualify if:
- Disease progression during systemic treatment with neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
- Extraperitoneal disease (including retroperitoneal lymph node metastases)
- Inability to achieve complete cytoreduction (CC-0) during preoperative (imaging) or intraoperative evaluation.
- Performance of at least one digestive anastomosis of any type. Active infection of any origin
- Allogeneic transplant, or prior bone marrow transplant, or high-dose chemotherapy with bone marrow or stem cell rescue.
- Participation in a clinical trial with an investigational drug within the last 30 days.
- Pregnant or breastfeeding women, where pregnancy is defined as the state of a woman after conception and until the end of pregnancy, confirmed by a positive human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) test result, or who plan to become pregnant or breastfeed during study treatment or within 30 days of the end of treatment with the study drug.
- Patients with a history of allergic reactions or hypersensitivity to drugs chemically related to cisplatin and paclitaxel.
- Failure to sign written informed consent.
