Weekly docetaxel and carboplatin for recurrent ovarian and peritoneal cancer: a phase II trial.

Objective: Results of the ICON4/AGO-OVAR-2.2 trial suggest that a platinum/taxane combination provides a survival benefit in relapsed, platinum-sensitive ovarian cancer compared to platinum alone. The optimal specific combination has yet to be determined.

A phase II trial of daily perillyl alcohol in patients with advanced ovarian cancer: Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Study E2E96.

Objective: This was a phase II study of perillyl alcohol in the treatment of advanced ovarian cancer. The primary endpoint was to evaluate the 6-month progression-free rate of perillyl alcohol as compared with historic controls. Secondary objectives were to evaluate the objective response rate, time to progression and survival, dropout rate, and number of cycles administered; define the qualitative nature of acute and chronic toxicities; and evaluate the effect of perillyl alcohol on triglycerides and total, HDL, and LDL cholesterol levels.
