Overview
Brief Summary
The ultimate clinical aim of this proposed phase I trial is to evaluate the toxicity and determine the recommended phase II dose of combining the effect of LDFWART following administration of docetaxel for 6 cycles in patients with recurrent platinum-resistant ovarian cancer.

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •Patients must have platinum-resistant disease relapsing within 6 months or less from the date of their last cycle of initial adjuvant chemotherapy recurrent adenocarcinoma from a primary ovarian, tubal, or peritoneal cancer following first-line chemotherapy for metastatic disease. There is no limit on prior number of chemotherapy regimens. Patients who have received prior systemic docetaxel and platinum-based chemotherapy are eligible
- •1.1 Patients must have ≥ 1cm measurable disease on imaging studies independent of patients having an optional surgical salvage procedure.
- •Patients must have a life expectancy of at least 6 months.
- •Patients must have Karnofsky performance status of ≥ 60 or Gynecology Oncology (GOG) performance status of ≤ 2 (see www.GOG.org website).
- •Age 18 - 80 years old
- •Patients must have an adequate bone marrow, renal, and hepatic function:
- •5.1 WBC: ≥ 3,000 /mcl
- •5.2 ANC: ≥ 1,500 /mcl
- •5.3 Platelets: ≥ 100,000 /mcl
- •5.4 Creatinine: \< 2.0 mg/dcl
Exclusion Criteria
- •Patients who have received prior radiotherapy to the chest, whole abdomen, or lower extremities above the knees.
- •Patients who have received prior radiation therapy to the head, neck, or lower extremities below the knees if greater than 3 years prior to study entry.
- •Evidence of extra-abdominal extension of disease (such as groin nodes, lung, supraclavicular nodes, and pleural fluid).
- •Patients may not be receiving any other investigational agents within 4 weeks preceding the start of study treatment) or chemotherapy for at least 3 weeks preceding the start of study treatment.
- •Patients who have been diagnosed with another prior malignant tumor within 3 years of study entry, excluding non-melanoma skin cancer and carcinoma in situ of the cervix.
- •Patients with prior history of a severe hypersensitivity reaction to paclitaxel (polysorbate 80-Cremophor).
- •Patients with current history of uncontrolled hypertension, angina pectoris, heart failure, cardiac dysrhythmias, pericardial disease, cardiomyopathy, or active infection.
- •Presence of any medical condition that in the opinion of the investigator deems the patient unable to participate.
- •Females of child-bearing potential. It is expected that ovarian cancer patients would have had a hysterectomy and/or oophorectomy as part of the original standard of care.
- •Patients that are \< 18 yrs. of age or \> 80 yrs. of age.
Arms & Interventions
LDFWART + Docetaxel
This study has 6 treatment cycles given at 3 weeks intervals ± 3 days. A cycle is defined as 1 treatment of morning Docetaxel and afternoon Low Dose Fractionated Whole Abdominal Radiation Therapy (LDFWART). The first day of the first treatment is designated "study day 1".
Intervention: Low Dose Fractionated Whole Abdominal Radiation Therapy
