February 24, 2011 updated by: ARCAGY/ GINECO GROUP

National, Randomized, Phase II Study Comparing Efficacy of Weekly Administration of Paclitaxel in Monotherapy or in Combination With Topotecan or Carboplatin in Patients With Epithelial Ovarian Cancer in Early Relapse

This study will look at the efficacy and safety of weekly administration of paclitaxel (Taxol®) in monotherapy compared to paclitaxel in combination with topotecan or carboplatin in patients with ovarian cancer in early relapse.

Detailed Description

The main purpose of this research study is to find out if treatment of early relapse of ovarian or fallopian tube or peritoneal cancer with paclitaxel (Taxol*) weekly administered, in lower doses in combination with topotecan (Hycamtin*) or carboplatin will improve efficacy compared to weekly administration of paclitaxel in monotherapy. Tolerance in the three groups will be compared.
