Carboplatin is an organoplatinum antineoplastic alkylating agent used in the treatment of advanced ovarian carcinoma. Early clinical studies of carboplatin were performed in 1982. Carboplatin was developed as an analog of cisplatin with reduced nephrotoxicity and vomiting.
Carboplatin was granted FDA approval on 3 March 1989.
Carboplatin is indicated in combination with an established combination of chemotherapeutic agents for the initial treatment of advanced ovarian carcinoma. Carboplatin is also indicated for the palliative treatment of ovarian carcinoma, recurrent after prior chemotherapy.
