Myocet ® - Carboplatine in Ovarian Cancer in Relapse, Sensitive to the Platinum

Phase Ib / II Trial Evaluating the Association Myocet ® - Carboplatine in Patients Having a Cancer of the Ovary in Relapse, Sensitive to the Platinum

The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy and the safety of the association of carboplatine and liposomal doxorubicin in patient with ovarian cancer in relapse, sensitive to platin.

In front of a shortage of Caelyx, the implementation of an alternative treatment must be considered to treat patients with ovarian cancer in relapse, sensitive to platin: associate the carboplatin with another drug of the family of the doxorubicin: liposomal doxorubicin (Myocet®).

Inclusion Criteria:

• First or second relapse of a carcinoma of the ovary, the fallopian tubes or the peritoneal tissue histological proved.
