Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy in Ovarian Cancer Key issues in trial design
2
Key Issue #1 What are the most current consensus recommendations on developing large phase III trials in ovarian cancer? What are the most current consensus recommendations on developing large phase III trials in ovarian cancer?
3
3 rd International Ovarian Cancer Consensus Conference 3 rd - 5 th September 2004, Black Forest, Germany 1-A 1:Is there a need to strictly define the extent and type of surgery for patients in first-line trials? Tissue should be obtained for histopathologic diagnosis to confirm the presence of primary ovarian or peritoneal carcinoma. Staging should be performed according to FIGO guidelines. For example, this includes at least lymph node sampling and peritoneal staging in early stage invasive disease (FIGO I – IIA). Up-front maximal surgical effort at cytoreduction with the goal of no residual disease should be undertaken. Level of Acceptance: 13 / 13

3 rd International Ovarian Cancer Consensus Conference 3 rd - 5 th September 2004, Black Forest, Germany 4-A4:Which regimen / kind of regimens can be regarded as standard comparator for future first-line trials? Within a given trial the chemotherapy regimen should be standardized and consistent with respect to drugs, dose, and schedule. The recommended standard comparator for trials on medical treatment in advanced ovarian cancer (FIGO IIB-IV) is carboplatin- paclitaxel The recommended regimen is carboplatin with a dose of AUC 5 - 7.5 and paclitaxel 175 mg/m²/ 3h given every three weeks for 6 courses Level of Acceptance: 13 / 13
