💬In plain words
What the trial is, and whether it could suit you
Women with history of tumor response insufficient to allow complete cytoreductive surgery after three cycles of previous neoadjuvant systemic carboplatin-paclitaxel chemotherapy will be prospectively recruited in this trial. After signed consent and if unresectability is confirmed, patients will undergo three cycles of doxorubicin-cisplatin PIPAC chemotherapy associated with systemic carboplatin-paclitaxel chemotherapy (alternating PIPAC and intravenous chemotherapy sessions over 3 cycles of 4 weeks).
Since the 7th amendment of the study, sodium thiosulfate as nephrtoxicity prevention has been administered concurrently with each PIPAC chemotherapy
The primary objective of the study is to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MDT).
During cycle 1, limiting dose toxicity must be collected as soon as it is known.
Each patients will be treated at the dose recommended by the CRM (Continua
