ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
This retrospective study is to evaluate the efficacy and toxicity of combination chemotherapy with etoposide and ifosfamide (ETI) in the management of pretreated recurrent or persistent epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC).METHODS:
Patients with recurrent or persistent EOC who had measurable disease and at least one chemotherapy regimen were to receive etoposide at a dose of 100 mg/m²/day intravenous (IV) on days 1 to 3 in combination with ifosfamide 1 g/m²/day IV on days 1 to 5, every 21 days.RESULTS:
From August 2008 to August 2016, 66 patients were treated with ETI regimen. Most patients were heavily pretreated prior to ETI 53 (80.3%) patients had received 3 or more chemotherapy regimens. The response rate (RR) of ETI chemotherapy was 18.2% and median duration of response was 6.8 months (range, 0–30). Median survival of all patients was 5 months at a median follow up of 7.2 months. Platinum-free interval (PFI) more than 6 months prior to ETI has statistically significant correlation with overall survival (OS; 9.2 vs. 5.6 months; P=0.029) and RR (34.5% vs. 5.4%; P < 0.010). However, treatment free interval before ETI, number of prior chemotherapy regimen, and optimality of primary surgery did not show significant difference for RR or OS. Grade 3 or 4 hematologic toxicities were observed in 7 cases (3%) of the 232 cycles of ETI.CONCLUSION:
The ETI combination regimen shows comparatively low toxicity and modest activity in heavily pretreated recurrent or persistent EOC patients with more than 6 months of PFI after last platinum treatment.
