Not yet recruiting
Conditions
Platinum Resistant, Platinum Refractory And Advanced Ovarian Cancer
Registration Number

Brief Summary

(1)  Epithelial ovarian cancer(EOC) is second most common gynecological cancer and is leading causes of death

(2)  With modern surgical interventionsand chemotherapy, most patients attain complete remission. However, majority(70-80%) of them eventually relapse and die of the disease.

(3)  In our resourcelimited setting, an oral therapy in advanced cases of carcinoma ovary is anattractive, feasible and affordable option, especially in the group of patientswho do not desire intravenous therapy.

(4)  There is emerging data aboutanti-angiogenic agents in this disease.

(5)  There is minimaldata from India and in international literature regarding the role ofantiangiogenic agents in metronomic therapy in recurrent and platinumrefractory advanced carcinoma ovary.

Weplan to explore the role of an oral metronomic regime consisting of ananti-angiogenic agent (pazopanib), etoposide and cyclophosphomide in advancedrelapsed/refractory carcinoma ovary —
