Phase II CT-2103/Carboplatin in Ovarian Cancer

September 18, 2008 updated by: CTI BioPharma

CT-2103/Carboplatin for Patients With Newly Diagnosed Stage III or IV Ovarian or Primary Peritoneal Cancer: A Phase 2 Study

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of CT-2103 (poly(L)glutamate-paclitaxel) in combination with carboplatin for the treatment of patients with Stage III or IV ovarian or primary peritoneal cancer.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

CT-2103 is a pharmaceutical that links paclitaxel, the active ingredient in Taxol(R), to a biodegradable polyglutamate polymer. The objective of this trial is to evaluate the toxicity, estimate the response rate, progression-free survival and overall survival in patients with newly diagnosed stage III or IV ovarian or primary peritoneal carcinoma treated with CT-2103 in combination with carboplatin.
