Brief Title: Comparison of Paclitaxel/Carboplatin and Lonafarnib to Paclitaxel/Carboplatin for First-line Treatment of Ovarian Cancer
Official Title: An Open-label, Multicenter, Randomized Phase II Study to Compare the Effects of Paclitaxel/Carboplatin and Lonafarnib to Those of Paclitaxel/Carboplatin for First-line Treatment of Patients With Epithelial Ovarian Cancer FIGO Stages IIB-IV
Study ID: NCT00281515
Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of Paclitaxel/Carboplatin and Lonafarnib to those of Paclitaxel/Carboplatin in primary treatment of patients with epithelial ovarian cancer.
Detailed Description: Today the standard therapy for patients with advanced ovarian carcinoma is paclitaxel and carboplatin. Lonafarnib is a farnesyl transferase inhibitor (FTI) that is active against a broad spectrum of tumor cell lines in vitro and tumor xenografts in nude mice. Lonafarnib has single-agent antitumor activity as well as enhanced activity in combination with taxanes in a number of tumor cell lines and in vivo models.
