EORTC 55971 trial Stage IIIc/IV ovarian, Fallopian tube, peritoneal ca
(n=718)
RANDOMISE
Primary Debulking Surgery
3 cycles platinum-based chemo
Optional interval surgery
≥ 3 cycles platinum-based chemo
Primary Chemotherapy
3 cycles platinum-based chemo
Interval debulking if no PD
≥ 3 cycles platinum-based chemo
• Primary end-point: Overall survival• Secondary end-points: PFS, QoL, complications
EORTC 55971 trial
Eligibility
• Biopsy-proven ovarian cancer OR• Suggestive FNA, with pelvic mass, met >2cm outside pelvis (or proof of stage IV disease) and CA125:CEA ratio >25• WHO PS 0 - 2• Fit for either primary surgery or primary chemotherapy
Recruitment
• 718 patients randomised Sept 1998 - Dec 2006• 498 events reached August 2008• Median follow-up 4.8 years
