Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

Patients who have this kind of cancer are often treated with several drugs. Carboplatin is one that seems to work for many treatment cycles. Even though it may work against the cancer, the patient can become allergic to it. If that happens, they would have to stop taking the drug. The standard way to give carboplatin is by vein over 30 minutes. Some people have been given carboplatin over 3 hours rather than 30 minutes and had fewer allergies than expected.

The purpose of this study is to:

Find out if giving carboplatin over three hours can prevent the allergy.

See if medicine given before the carboplatin can help reduce the risk of allergic reactions.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Standard 30-minute infusion

This is a non-blinded randomized study comparing standard 30-minute infusion carboplatin to extended 3-hour infusion carboplatin in women with recurrent, ovary, fallopian tube, and primary peritoneal cancer who will be treated with a carboplatin containing chemotherapy regimen.

Drug: carboplatin
Carboplatin Standard 30-minute infusion. All patients will receive identical chemotherapy premedications including dexamethasone 20mg the night before and morning of infusion, montelukast 10mg once daily for three days prior to carboplatin infusion, and ranitidine 50mg (or famotidine 20mg IV)IV and diphenhydramine 50mg IV before carboplatin infusion.

Experimental: extended 3-hour infusion

This is a non-blinded randomized study comparing standard 30-minute infusion carboplatin to extended 3-hour infusion carboplatin in women with recurrent, ovary, fallopian tube, and primary peritoneal cancer who will be treated with a carboplatincontaining chemotherapy regimen.

Drug: carboplatin
Extended 3-hour infusion carboplatin. All patients will receive identical chemotherapy premedications including dexamethasone 20mg the night before and morning of infusion, montelukast 10mg once daily for three days prior to carboplatin infusion, and ranitidine 50mg IV (or famotidine 20mg IV) and diphenhydramine 50mg IV before carboplatin infusion.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Number of Participants With and Without Hypersensitivity Reaction [2 years]

    The primary objective of this study is to determine if patients have lower rates of hypersensitivity reactions by comparing the number of participants with and without hypersensitivity reaction

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. The Number of People With Successful Planned Treatment Completion of Carboplatin in Each Group [2 years]

  2. Perform a Cost-identification Analysis of Extended Infusion Carboplatin to Estimate the Cost Per Hypersensitivity Reaction Prevented. [2 years]

  3. The Odds Ratio for the Relationship of Baseline Variables to the Carboplatin Hypersensitivity Rate [2 years]

    Perform exploratory analyses to correlate hypersensitivity rate to history of atopy, prior drug allergies, number of lifetime platinum cycles, duration since last platinum, and concomitant chemotherapy agent.
