Brief Summary: RATIONALE It is not yet known if treatment for recurrent ovarian epithelial fallopian tube or primary peritoneal cancer is more effective if it is begun when blood levels of CA 125 become elevated rather than waiting for other indicators of disease recurrence

PURPOSE This randomized phase III trial is studying early chemotherapy based on blood levels of CA 125 alone to see how well it works compared to chemotherapy based on conventional clinical indicators in patients with recurrent ovarian epithelial fallopian tube or primary peritoneal cancer
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Compare the benefit of early chemotherapy based on CA 125 level only vs chemotherapy based on conventional clinical indicators in patients with relapsed ovarian epithelial fallopian tube or primary peritoneal cancer
Compare the overall survival of patients treated with these regimens
Compare the quality of life of patients treated with these regimens

OUTLINE This is a randomized multicenter study Patients whose CA 125 levels rise to more than two times the upper limit of normal are randomized to one of two treatment arms

Arm I The clinician is informed of the initial rise in CA 125 level A confirmatory test is performed immediately Within 4 weeks of the initial CA 125 elevation patients with a second confirmed elevation receive treatment for recurrent disease according to standard local practice Patients with a normal CA 125 on the confirmatory test receive no treatment until clinically indicated
Arm II The clinician is blinded to the CA 125 results Patients undergo normal monitoring When clinically indicated patients commence treatment according to standard local practice

Quality of life is assessed at baseline at each follow-up visit and if treatment is instituted before each chemotherapy course

Patients are followed every 3 months

PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 1400 patients will be accrued for this study
