Brief Summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel, carboplatin, and cisplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) and giving them in different ways may kill more tumor cells. It is not yet known which combination chemotherapy regimen is more effective in treating patients with ovarian epithelial cancer, primary peritoneal cancer, and fallopian tube cancer.

PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is comparing the side effects of three combination chemotherapy regimens and to see how well they work in treating patients with stage IIB, stage IIC, stage III, or stage IV ovarian epithelial cancer, primary peritoneal cancer, or fallopian tube cancer.

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

* To compare the efficacy of the selected IP chemotherapy regimen (Arm 3: IV paclitaxel and IP carboplatin plus day 8 IP paclitaxel) versus IV carboplatin plus paclitaxel (Arm 1) in patients with epithelial ovarian cancer optimally debulked at surgery following neoadjuvant intravenous chemotherapy. Nine month progressive rate post randomization is the primary endpoint for assessment of efficacy.

Secondary

* To compare IP plus IV chemotherapy versus IV carboplatin plus paclitaxel with respect to progression free survival and overall survival.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to cooperative group, residual disease (observable \[e.g., macroscopic\] disease that is evident at end of delayed primary debulking surgery vs no evidence of observable disease at end of delayed primary debulking surgery), reason for delayed primary debulking surgery at initial diagnosis (nonresectable disease vs other reasons), and timing of intraperitoneal catheter insertion (intra-operative catheter insertion vs post-operative insertion).

* Phase II: Patients are randomized to 1 of 3 treatment groups.

* ARM 1: Paclitaxel 135 mg/m2 intravenous day 1 plus Carboplatin AUC 5 if measured GFR or AUC6 if estimated GFR intravenous day 1; Paclitaxel 60 mg/m2 intravenous day 8. Cycles given Q 21 days x 3 cycles

* ARM 2: Paclitaxel 135 mg/m2 intravenous day 1 plus Cisplatin 75 mg/m2 intraperitoneal day 1; Paclitaxel 60 mg/m2 intraperitoneal day 8. Cycles given Q 21 days x 3 cycles (Phase II cisplatin arm closed to accrual on 2014-Feb-03)

* ARM 3: Paclitaxel 135 mg/m2 intravenous day 1 plus Carboplatin AUC 5 if measured GFR or AUC6 if estimated GFR intraperitoneal day 1; Paclitaxel 60 mg/m2 intraperitoneal day 8. Cycles given Q 21 days x 3 cycles.

Patients also receive carboplatin IP on day 1. Treatment repeats every 21 days for 3 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

* Expanded Phase II: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment groups.

* Arm I: Patients receive paclitaxel and carboplatin as in phase II, arm I.

* Arm III: Patients receive paclitaxel and cisplatin as in phase II, arm II or paclitaxel and carboplatin as in phase II, arm III.

Patients complete quality of life questionnaires EORTC QLQ-C30, ovarian cancer module (EORTC QLQ-OV28), and FACT/GOG-Ntx at baseline, on day 1 of courses 2 and 3, at 3, 6 and 12 months after completion of study treatment, and then annually until disease progression, death, or initiation of second-line therapy.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed at 6 weeks, every 3 months for 2 years, every 6 months for 2 years, and then annually until progression, death, or initiation of second-line therapy.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
9-month Progression Rate Post-randomization9 months

It is defined as proportion of patients who had progressed at or before 9 months after randomization, i.e., the time from the randomization to the date when the first observation of disease progression (earliest of the date when the first CA 125 meets progression definition and the date of first objective relapse or progression, defined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0), as a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, or a measurable increase in a non-target lesion, or the appearance of new lesions, recorded) has been documented or when death due to any cause has been observed was less than or equal to 9 months.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Overall SurvivalDuring the study with median follow-up of 33 months

Time from the day of randomization to death from any cause.

Progression Free SurvivalDuring the study with median follow-up of 33 months

Time from the day of randomization until the time when first observation of disease progression (earliest of the dates of first CA125 which meets progression definition and first objective relapse or progression defined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0), as a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, or a measurable increase in a non-target lesion, or the appearance of new lesions, has been documented or when death due to any cause has been observed.
