Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This study is for patients with advanced ovarian cancer that has reappeared after treatment with conventional therapy. The purpose of this study is to determine if the combination of docetaxel and gemcitabine will be effective in reducing or eliminating the tumor(s) in patients with ovarian cancer. Docetaxel is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of breast and lung cancer; gemcitabine is approved by the FDA for the treatment of pancreatic and lung cancer. Neither docetaxel nor gemcitabine are approved for the treatment of ovarian cancer. Both drugs have been shown to decrease the size of ovarian cancer tumors.

- description
- Patients will receive Docetaxel 75mg/m2 IV over 15-30 minutes on day 1 followed by Gemcitabine 800 mg/m2 IV over 30 minutes on Days 1 and 8. Cycles will be repeated every 3 weeks.

Primary outcomes (1)
- measure
- Tumor Response Type: CR, PR, SD or PD
- timeFrame
- 6 months after enrollment of last participant
- description
- Tumor response will be based on the RECIST v1.0 criteria. CR (complete response)= disappearance of all target lesions, PR (partial response)= greater or equal to 30% decrease in sum of longest diameter of target lesions, SD (stable disease)= \<30% decrease or \<20% increase, PD (progressive disease)= greater or equal to 20% increase in longest diameter of target lesions. For patients with an elevated CA-125 as the only evidence of disease, a PR was defined as a decrease of 50% or more lasting at least 8 weeks (Rustin et al. JCO 14:1545-51, 1996). Disease assessment performed every 2 cycles (1 cycle = 21 days). Responders included CR and PR.

Inclusion Criteria: * Histologically proven diagnosis of epithelial ovarian ca * Must have platinum-resistant disease. (Defined as progression during the most recent platinum-based chemotx or relapse \< 6 months after the most recent platinum-based chemotx regimen.) * Measurable or evaluable disease. (Patients whose dz is manifested only as an elevated CA-125 \[greater than or equal to 100\] are eligible. If an elevated CA-125 is the only manifestation of dz, it must be confirmed on 2 separate times, at least 2 weeks apart. Patients with positive cytology only are not eligible.) * Greater than or equal to 18 years of age * GOG performance status less than or equal to 2 * AGC/ANC greater than or equal to 1.5; platelets greater than or equal to 100,000; hemoglobin (Hgb) greater than or equal to 8.0. * Creatinine less than or equal to 2.0 * Total bilirubin less than or equal to upper limit of normal (uln) * SGOT and/or SGPT less than or equal to 2.5 x uln if alkaline phosphatase less than or equal to uln, or alkaline phosphatase less than or equal to 4 x uln if transaminases are less than or equal to uln. (If both SGOT/SGPT \>1.5 x uln and alkaline phosphatase \> 2.5 x uln, patient is not eligible.) * Fully recovered from acute toxicities secondary to prior treatment (tx) * Signed informed consent Exclusion Criteria: * Prior treatment with gemcitabine or docetaxel * Underlying medical, psychiatric, or social conditions that would preclude patient from receiving treatment * Peripheral neuropathy greater than or equal to Grade 2 * No prior tx with cisplatin or carboplatin
