Scientific titleA GCIG Intergroup multicentre factorial trial of open label carboplatin and paclitaxel +/- bevacizumab compared with oxaliplatin and capecitabine +/- bevacizumab as first line chemotherapy in patients with mucinous Epithelial Ovarian Cancer (mEOC)
Study acronymmEOC
Study objectivesCurrent hypothesis as of 08/03/2011:
This trial aims to determine whether a combination of oxaliplatin + capecitabine improves overall survival compared to conventional treatment with carboplatin + paclitaxel in patients with advanced mucinous carcinoma of the ovary, and to determine if the addition of bevacizumab improves the overall survival of patients.

The two chemotherapy regimens will also be compared in terms of:
1. Progression free survival
2. Response rate
3. Toxicity
4. Quality of life

Previous hypothesis:
This trial aims to determine whether a combination of oxaliplatin + capecitabine improves overall survival compared to conventional treatment with carboplatin + paclitaxel in patients with advanced mucinous carcinoma of the ovary.
Ethics approval(s)North West London Research Ethics Committee 2, 29/10/2008, ref: 08/H0720/106
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedMucinous carcinoma of the ovary
InterventionThis is a phase III, multicentre, randomised controlled trial. This trial is not blinded due to different timings of administration of drugs between treatment arms.

Control arm: 6 cycles of chemotherapy with the following:
1. Carboplatin AUC 5 or AUC 6, intravenous (IV), given on day 1 (dose depends on method used to measure/ estimate glomerular filtration rate [GFR])
2. Paclitaxel 175 mg/m^2, IV, given on day 1

Research arm: 6 cycles of chemotherapy with the following:
1. Oxaliplatin 130 mg/m^2, IV, given on day 1
2. Capecitabine 850 mg/m^2 given twice per day, oral tablets, on the first 14 days of every 21 day cycle (total daily dose 1,700 mg/m^2)

Added 08/03/2011:
Bevacizumab 15 mg/kg IV given every 3 weeks for 5 or 6 cycles of chemotherapy. Followed by 12 cycles of Bevacizumab along given on day 1 every 3 weeks.

The total duration of follow-up is 5 years. Patients are seen every 3 months in years 1 and 2, and every 6 months in years 3-5. Computerised tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans are carried out 5 times in Year 1, every 6 months in year 2, and annually in years 3-5.
