NCI-V91-0058, NCT00002474

Objectives

  1. Determine the response rate, duration of response, and overall survival of patients with refractory or relapsed ovarian epithelial cancer treated with high-dose cyclophosphamide, carboplatin, and mitoxantrone followed by autologous bone marrow transplantation.
  2. Determine the nonhematopoietic toxicity of this regimen in these patients.

Entry Criteria

  • Autologous bone marrow harvest of greater than 1.2 x 10 to the eighth nucleated cells/kg required before study entry


  • No evidence of tumor at marrow harvest sites by bilateral bone marrow aspirates and biopsies, pelvic x-ray, and bone scan


  • CNS involvement allowed

Outline

Autologous bone marrow is harvested before study entry. Patients receive high-dose cyclophosphamide IV over 1 hour and mitoxantrone IV over 15 minutes on days -8, -6, and -4 and carboplatin IV continuously on days -8 to -3 in the absence of unacceptable toxicity. Bone marrow is reinfused on day 0 beginning at least 60 hours after completion of carboplatin infusion.

Patients are followed for survival.

Note: The purpose of most clinical trials listed in this database is to test new cancer treatments, or new methods of diagnosing, screening, or preventing cancer. Because all potentially harmful side effects are not known before a trial is conducted, dose and schedule modifications may be required for participants if they develop side effects from the treatment or test. The therapy or test described in this clinical trial is intended for use by clinical oncologists in carefully structured settings, and may not prove to be more effective than standard treatment. A responsible investigator associated with this clinical trial should be consulted before using this protocol.
