Caelyx Biweekly in Heavily Pretreated Patients With Relapsed Ovarian Cancer
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (PLD) formulation has been approved for the treatment of recurrent ovarian cancer (ROC). Toxic skin reactions were reported as being the dose-limiting toxicity and have an impact on patients' quality of life (QoL). The primary aim of this study was to optimise the toxicity profile by choosing a biweekly schedule of PLD Furthermore, QoL was investigated. Secondary objective of this study was to evaluate the response rates of this new regimen.
