Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Histologically/cytologically confirmed diagnosis of ovarian carcinoma of epithelial origin, primary tubal or peritoneal carcinoma;
  • Progressive or recurrent disease
  • The following patient types based upon the disease measurability may enroll in this study and will be considered for efficacy evaluation.
  • Patients may have measurable disease strictly following the RECIST guidelines. CA125 levels must be obtained according to the Rustin guidelines to enable a complete evaluation of response/progressive disease according to the GCIG guidelines. Patients may enter with a solitary measurable lesion which has not been confirmed by histology/cytology. These patients will be considered evaluable for response according to a modified RECIST which will not require the histological/cytological confirmation of the lesion. CA125 levels must be obtained according to the Rustin guidelines to enable a complete evaluation of progressive disease according to the GCIG guidelines. Patients with non-measurable disease will be considered evaluable for response provided CA125 data has been collected according to the Rustin guidelines and a complete evaluation of response/progressive disease according to the GCIG guidelines maybe conducted.
  • Numbers of prior chemotherapy(s): maximum 2 prior chemotherapies. Reintroduction of a platinum at relapse, after an initial response lasting \> 6 months is considered 1 chemotherapy regimen only.
  • ECOG performance status grade 0 or 1

  • Life expectancy of at least 3 months
  • Prior anthracycline limited to doxorubicin equivalent of 280mg/m2 with progression free interval of at least 12 months for patients who have been pre-treated with CAELYX
