Brief Summary: RATIONALE Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die Combining more than one drug may kill more tumor cells

PURPOSE Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of platinum-based chemotherapy with or without paclitaxel in treating patients with relapsed ovarian epithelial cancer
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Compare survival of patients with relapsed ovarian epithelial or peritoneal cancer treated with paclitaxel and either carboplatin or cisplatin vs conventional platinum-based chemotherapy
Compare the quality of life and health economics of these regimens in these patients

OUTLINE This is a randomized study Patients are randomized to one of two treatment arms

Arm I Patients receive platinum-based chemotherapy that is familiar to the oncologist and used routinely by the center comprising either cisplatin or carboplatin alone or cisplatin in combination with other drugs
Arm II Patients receive paclitaxel IV over 3 hours followed by either carboplatin or cisplatin

Treatment for both arms continues every 3 weeks for up to 6 courses in the absence of unacceptable toxicity

Quality of life is assessed

Patients are followed at 6 months every 3 months for 2 years every 6 months for 3 years and then annually thereafter

PROJECTED ACCRUAL A maximum of 800 patients will be accrued for this study
