OV-10

Randomized intergroup trial of cisplatin-paclitaxel versus cisplatin-cyclophosphamide in women with advanced epithelial ovarian cancer: three-year results

Phase 3N = 680

Population
Women with advanced epithelial ovarian cancer, with broader selection criteria than GOG-111
Design
Randomised phase III intergroup trial of European and Canadian investigators, planned as a confirmatory trial after GOG-111. 680 patients were recruited with broader selection criteria than GOG-111; paclitaxel was given as a 3-hour infusion instead of a 24-hour infusion. Progression-free survival was the primary end point. Median follow-up 38.5 months; 48% of the cyclophosphamide arm crossed over to paclitaxel at first progression (JNCI abstract).
Primary endpoint
PFS
Arms
  • Cisplatin plus cyclophosphamide (control): Cisplatin-cyclophosphamide (doses not given in the abstract)
  • Cisplatin plus paclitaxel (experimental): Cisplatin-paclitaxel, paclitaxel as a 3-hour infusion (doses not given in the abstract)
