ABSTRACT

PURPOSE OF INVESTIGATION: To determine the effect of imatinib on progression-free survival in patients with epithelial ovarian cancer in second or greater complete clinical remission (CCR). METHODS: 35 patients were enrolled between 10/2002 and 1/2005. Eligible patients received imatinib at 400 mg daily orally. RESULTS: One patient withdrew consent, and two patients received protocol therapy in first remission and were excluded. Five patients were removed for possibly related toxicity. No associations were seen between PDGF-R staining and PFS. CONCLUSIONS: Treatment with imatinib for patients with ovarian cancer in second CCR or greater did not prolong the PFS beyond the historical estimate.
