A Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Caelyx in Combination With Carboplatin in Patients With Ovarian Cancer Recurrent Within Six to Twelve Months After Initial Carboplatin and Paclitaxel Chemotherapy (P03625)

Summary

Doxorubicin has been used to treat ovarian cancer as part of different combination therapies, but high cumulative doses should be avoided because of the risk of cardiotoxicity. Pegylated Liposomal Doxorubicin (Caelyx) has been developed to reduce the risk of cardiotoxicity. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Caelyx in combination with carboplatin in women with recurrent ovarian cancer.
