Overview
Brief Summary
Most patients with advanced ovarian cancer suffered recurrences. Therefore, adjuvant therapy is recommended for all patients with advanced ovarian cancer.
Traditionally, intravenous paclitaxel + carboplatin has been the standard adjuvant therapy.
Recently, intraperitoneal combination chemotherapy has been reported to be effective in ovarian cancer.
We attempted to evaluate the efficacy and feasibility of standard intravenous paclitaxel + carboplatin plus intraperitoneal paclitaxel chemotherapy.
Detailed Description
Epithelial ovarian cancer is the leading cause of death from gynecologic malignancies worldwide. The recommended treatment includes primary surgery for diagnosis, staging, and cytoreduction, followed by chemotherapy. Epithelial ovarian cancer is more sensitive to cytotoxic drugs than other solid tumors, most patients with advanced ovarian cancer are recommended treatment with postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy. The recommended initial chemotherapy is generally platinum and taxane combination given by intravenous infusion every 3 weeks for 6 courses. This treatment resulted in complete remission in about 50% of ovarian cancer patients and pathologic complete response in 25\~30% of patients. However most patients with advanced ovarian cancer suffered recurrences after primary treatment, median progression free survival is 15.5-22months, and median overall survival is about 31-44months. As residual ovarian cancer after surgery and initial recurrences are primarily confined to the abdomen, intraperitoneal administration of chemotherapy was proposed several decades ago. In 2006, Armstrong, et al., reported improvement of overall survival in ovarian cancer patient with optimal surgical debulking followed intraperitoneal paclitaxel + cisplatin chemotherapy. The National Cancer Institute (NCI) of the United States recommended to consider intraperitoneal chemotherapy in optimally debulking patients. In Korea, however, there are few studies about postoperative adjuvant intraperitoneal chemotherapy in optimally debulked (residual mass \<1cm) advanced ovarian cancer patients. Therefore the investigators tend to evaluate the efficacy and feasibility of postoperative adjuvant intraperitoneal chemotherapy.

Arms & Interventions
IP Chemotherapy
Patients with optimally debulked advanced (stage 3 or 4) epithelial ovarian cancer; IV Paclitaxel 175mg/m2 + IV Carboplatin (AUC4.5) AT DAY 1; IP Paclitaxel 60 mg/m2 at day 8; every 21 days, 6 cycles
Intervention: IP chemotherapy
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
2 year progression-free survival rate.
Time Frame: 2 Year after initial surgery
The time from randomization to the time of disease progression as determined by the investigator or death from any cause. Progression is diagnosed by imaging or serial tumor marker elevation.
Secondary Outcomes
- Median overall survival(From entry into the study to 5 year after treatment or until half of participants are dead)
- 5 year progression-free survival rate(5 year after initial surgery)
- 5 year overall survival rate(5 year after initial surgery)
