Summary: This study aims to test the hypothesis that the artificial prolongation of the platinum-free interval with a non-platinum treatment will improve the effectiveness of overall therapy in patients with ovarian cancer progression occurring 6-12 months after first-line treatment with a platinum-derivative.

Detailed description: Ovarian cancer is the most deadly gynecologic cancer. Though many patients respond well initially to chemotherapy, most of them in time will suffer a relapse. Patients often receive multiple lines of chemotherapy for their recurrences, and the choice of chemotherapy depends largely on the time interval since the last therapy. Patients whose disease recurs longer than 12 months after a platinum containing treatment are considered to be platinum sensitive, and are candidates for retreatment with a platinum regimen. Patients in whom disease recurs less than 6 months after a platinum containing treatment are considered platinum resistant or refractory, and are treated with a non platinum chemotherapy. The option of treatment is less clear for patients whose disease recurs between 6 and 12 months after platinum containing therapy. It is hypothesized that prolonging the interval since last platinum treatment by using a non platinum chemotherapy will result in better outcomes for these patients. This study will evaluate if the experimental sequence of a non platinum based chemotherapy, followed at a later progression by a platinum based chemotherapy is superior, in terms of the effect on overall survival, to the standard inverse sequence of treatment.
