Brief Title: Efficacy of Platinum-based Chemotherapy in Platinum-resistant Ovarian Cancer) (EPITOC)
Official Title: Randomized Phase II/III Trial to Assess the Efficacy of Platinum-based Chemotherapy vs Standard Non-platinum Therapy in Patients With Platinum-resistant Recurrent Ovarian Cancer (ROC)
Study ID: NCT04055038
Brief Summary: This is a phase II/III randomized controlled trial to evaluate efficacy of platinum-based chemotherapy vs conventionally prescribed non-platinum monochemotherapy in patients with platinum-resistant ovarian cancer
Detailed Description: Recurrent ovarian cancer (ROC) is usually subdivided to platinum-sensitive (platinum-free interval \[PFI\] ≥6 mo.) and platinum-resistant ovarian cancer \[PROC\] (PFI \<6 mo.) subtypes. Prognosis for the latter group is dismal and current guidelines recommend treating these patients with non-platinum based chemotherapy. However, the evidence behind this is quite unconvincing and according to recent data patients with non-platinum refractory platinum-resistant ovarian cancer could derive benefit from platinum rechallenge. This trial is designed for head-to-head comparison of platinum and non-platinum therapy efficacy in treatment of platinum-resistant ovarian cancer.
