Background: The role of combination chemotherapy regimens in the management of ovarian cancer patients with tumors previously exposed to platinum compounds and paclitaxel has not yet been defined. The present phase II study evaluated the activity and toxicity of a gemcitabine-ifosfamide-cisplatin combination in the aforementioned group of patients. Given the in vitro and in vivo synergism between the three agents, it was believed that using a three-drug combination would overcome tumor resistance to cisplatin.

The role of combination chemotherapy regimens in the management of ovarian cancer patients with tumors resistant to platinum compounds has not yet been defined. This multicenter prospective phase II study evaluated the activity and toxicity of the docetaxel-plus-irinotecan combination in ovarian cancer patients whose tumors were resistant to platinum compounds and who had been exposed to paclitaxel. Treatment consisted of docetaxel 60 mg/m2 i.
