A Phase 3, Randomized, Open-Label, Comparative Study of CAELYX Versus Paclitaxel HCl in Patients With Epithelial Ovarian Carcinoma Following Failure of First-Line, Platinum-Based Chemotherapy

The objective of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of CAELYX versus Paclitaxel HCl in patients with epithelial ovarian carcinoma following failure of first-line, platinum-based chemotherapy. The primary endpoint is time to progression (TTP) following treatment with either CAELYX or Paclitaxel HCl; the secondary endpoints are response rates, time to response, duration of response,quality of life assessment, and survival following treatment with either CAELYX or Paclitaxel HCl. Up to a total of 438 protocol-eligible patients with epithelial ovarian carcinoma following failure of first-line, platinum-based chemotherapy will be enrolled in order to obtain 350 evaluable patients.
