Résumé
PURPOSE: A multicentric, phase II study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the combination paclitaxel and oxaliplatin in patients with platinum-sensitive recurrent ovarian cancer. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Patients received 175 mg/m(2) paclitaxel (over 3 h) followed by 130 mg/m(2) oxaliplatin (over 2 h) every 21 days for up to nine cycles without hydration or primary granulocyte colony-stimulating factor prophylaxis. Patients had to have an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0-2 and to have received no more than one prior cisplatin- and/or carboplatin-containing chemotherapy regimen with a platinum-progression-free interval > or =6 months. RESULTS: Of the 105 patients enrolled and treated, 98 were eligible. An overall response rate of 81% (79 of 98 patients) (95% confidence interval 71% to 88%) was observed according to RECIST criteria (third party reviewed), and 88% (86 of 98) when this was complemented with CA-125 response. With a median follow up of 43.6 months (range 30.2-64.2) the median progression-free survival was 10.2 months (range 0.3-21.4) and the overall survival 32.4 months. Seven hundred and eight cycles were administered (median seven per patient; range one to nine). A total of 67% of patients experienced National Cancer Institute Common Toxicity Criteria grade 3-4 neutropenia, including 8% with concomitant febrile episode, without treatment-related deaths. Ninety-three per cent of patients experienced neuropathy of grade 1 or more, including 25% with cumulative reversible peripheral neuropathy of grade 3-4. Oxaliplatin doses were reduced in 30 patients due to neurotoxicity. CONCLUSIONS: The oxaliplatin/paclitaxel combination can be administered in an outpatient setting every 3 weeks without specific measures. The high level of activity and its duration observed warrants further evaluation of this combination in pretreated platinum-sensitive advanced ovarian cancer patients.
