简要总结
This is a randomized, placebo controlled; parallel study that will be conducted on 66 female patients with advanced epithelial ovarian carcinoma (stage III and stage IV) to compare effect of adding Itraconazole to paclitaxel and carboplatin versus placebo to paclitaxel and carboplatin as regard overall response rate (ORR) and Disease control rate (DCR) and Quality of life (QOL) and the change in the serum concentrations of the biological markers.
详细描述
This is a randomized, placebo controlled; parallel study that will be conducted on 66 female patients with advanced epithelial ovarian carcinoma (stage III and stage IV). The staging of the disease will be done according to 8th edition of American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC), TNM staging. The patients will be recruited from Oncology Department, Tanta University Hospital. The patients will receive a combination of paclitaxel and carboplatin chemotherapy with or without itraconazole. Randomization will be carried out based on hospital admission days where the patients will be randomized into the following two groups to compare effect of adding Itraconazole to paclitaxel and carboplatin versus placebo to paclitaxel and carboplatin.

研究组 & 干预措施
Group I Placebo group
Group I (Placebo group; n=33) which will be treated with chemotherapy which includes paclitaxel 60 mg/m2 IV over 1 hour followed by carboplatin area under the curve 2 (AUC 2) IV over 30 minutes Day 1, 8, and 15 which will be repeated every 21 days for 6 cycles 12 plus 4 placebo capsules for 5 days (two days before chemotherapy, the day of chemotherapy after receiving it, and two days after chemotherapy).
干预措施: Placebo (Drug)
Group II Itraconazole group
Group II: (Itraconazole group; n=33) which will be treated with chemotherapy which includes paclitaxel 60 mg/m2 IV over 1 hour followed by carboplatin AUC 2 IV over 30 minutes Day 1, 8, and 15 repeated every 21 days for 6 cycles 12 plus oral itraconazole 400 mg (4 capsules, each of 100 mg) for 5 days (two days before chemotherapy, the day of chemotherapy after receiving it, and two days after chemotherapy).
干预措施: Itraconazole capsule (Drug)
