PURPOSE: Topotecan is an active second-line treatment for advanced ovarian cancer. Its efficacy as consolidation treatment after first-line standard chemotherapy is unknown. PATIENTS AND METHODS: To investigate whether topotecan (1.5 mg/m(2) on days 1 through 5, four cycles, every 3 weeks) prolonged progression-free survival (PFS) for patients responding to standard carboplatin (area under the curve 5) and paclitaxel (175 mg/m(2) administered as a 3-hour infusion in six cycles; CP), a multicenter phase III study was performed with an 80\% power to detect a 50\% prolongation of median PFS. Patients were registered at diagnosis and randomized after the end of CP. RESULTS: Two hundred seventy-three patients were randomly assigned (topotecan, n = 137; observation, n = 136), with a median age of 56 years. Stage at diagnosis was advanced in three fourths of patients (stage III in 65\% of patients; stage IV in 10\%); after primary surgery, 46\% had no residual disease and 20\% were optimally debulked. After CP, 87\% reached a clinical complete response, and 13\% achieved a partial response. Neutropenia (grade 3/4 in 58\% of the patients) and thrombocytopenia (grade 3 in 21\%; grade 4 in 3\%) were the most frequent toxicities attributed to topotecan. There was no statistically significant difference in PFS between the arms (P =.83; log-rank test): median PFS was 18.2 months in the topotecan arm and 28.4 in the control arm. Hazard ratio of progression for patients receiving topotecan was 1.18 (95\% CI, 0.86 to 1.63) after adjustment for residual disease, interval debulking surgery, and response to CP.

Abstract

PURPOSE: Topotecan is an active second-line treatment for advanced ovarian cancer. Its efficacy as consolidation treatment after first-line standard chemotherapy is unknown. PATIENTS AND METHODS: To investigate whether topotecan (1.5 mg/m(2) on days 1 through 5, four cycles, every 3 weeks) prolonged progression-free survival (PFS) for patients responding to standard carboplatin (area under the curve 5) and paclitaxel (175 mg/m(2) administered as a 3-hour infusion in six cycles; CP), a multicenter phase III study was performed with an 80\% power to detect a 50\% prolongation of median PFS. Patients were registered at diagnosis and randomized after the end of CP. RESULTS: Two hundred seventy-three patients were randomly assigned (topotecan, n = 137; observation, n = 136), with a median age of 56 years. Stage at diagnosis was advanced in three fourths of patients (stage III in 65\% of patients; stage IV in 10\%); after primary surgery, 46\% had no residual disease and 20\% were optimally debulked. After CP, 87\% reached a clinical complete response, and 13\% achieved a partial response. Neutropenia (grade 3/4 in 58\% of the patients) and thrombocytopenia (grade 3 in 21\%; grade 4 in 3\%) were the most frequent toxicities attributed to topotecan. There was no statistically significant difference in PFS between the arms (P =.83; log-rank test): median PFS was 18.2 months in the topotecan arm and 28.4 in the control arm. Hazard ratio of progression for patients receiving topotecan was 1.18 (95\% CI, 0.86 to 1.63) after adjustment for residual disease, interval debulking surgery, and response to CP.
