Brief Title: Clinical Benefit of Topoisomerase Downregulation
Official Title: Clinical Benefit of Topoisomerase Downregulation: A Phase I Pilot Study
Study ID: NCT00250094
Brief Summary: 1.1 To determine the regulation of topoisomerase I and II following alternating prolonged exposure to topotecan and etoposide (VP-16) 1.2 To determine the time to progression and the objective response rate of this treatment in patients with incurable ovarian cancer.
Detailed Description: The rationale to study the downregulation of topoisomerase enzyme in ovarian cancer in relationship to the cell cycle distribution of the cancer cells after a prolonged continuous exposure to topo I and II poisons is to better understand the relationship between cell cycle and topo poisoning, which may lead to better clinical trial designs.
