Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Patients with advanced ovarian cancer (FIGO stage III C) and highly disseminated tumor will be randomized into two arms: primary debulking surgery followed by adjuvant chemotherapy vs. neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by interval debulking surgery (IDS). The primary end point is the evaluation and comparison of the surgical complications of primary surgery and IDS and the evaluation of the progression free survival (PFS)

Study Design

Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

Patients will be randomly assigned (1:1 ratio) to undergo either PDS followed by systemic adjuvant chemotherapy, or NACT followed by IDS. Random assignment will be centralised at the Institutional clinical trial center using a block-randomisation computer-generated list (maximum allowable percentage deviation = 10%). Allocation will be concealed to patients and investigators. Patients and investigators will not be masked to group assignment.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Primary debulking surgery

All patients with suspicion of advanced ovarian carcinoma (FIGO stage IIIC) will undergo to a diagnostic laparoscopy in order to obtain a laparoscopic score (PIV) based on seven parameters: omental cake, peritoneal and diaphragmatic extensive carcinosis, mesenteric retraction, bowel and stomach infiltration, spleen and/or liver superficial metastasis, as previously published (Fagotti et al, American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 2008) Patients with PIV ≥ 8 and ≤ 12 randomized in this group will be submitted to an attempt of primary debulking surgery in order to obtain RT \< 1 cm, followed by adjuvant chemotherapy.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Primary Debulking Surgery + Adjuvant Chemotherapy

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Patients with suspected advanced ovarian cancer (FIGO stage IIIC) will undergo to diagnostic laparoscopy. Omental cake, diaphragmatic or peritoneal extensive carcinomatosis, tumor diffusion to the small and large curvature of the stomach, large and/or small bowel mesentery disease, spleen and/or liver metastases will be investigated in order to obtain a laparoscopic score. Then, an attempt of laparotomic cytoreduction will be performed: total hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, radical omentectomy, appendectomy, pelvic and paraaortic lymphadenectomy, eventual bowel resection, eventual bladder resection, eventual splenectomy, eventual parietal and diaphragmatic peritonectomy, eventual gastric resection, eventual hepatic resection, eventual pancreas resection, eventual cholecystectomy.

Interval debulking surgery

All patients with suspicion of advanced ovarian carcinoma (FIGO stage IIIC) will undergo to a diagnostic laparoscopy in order to obtain a laparoscopic score (PIV) based on seven parameters: omental cake, peritoneal and diaphragmatic extensive carcinosis, mesenteric retraction, bowel and stomach infiltration, spleen and/or liver superficial metastasis, as previously published (Fagotti et al, American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 2008) Patients with PIV ≥ 8 and ≤ 12 randomized in this group will be submitted only to diagnostic laparoscopy followed by neoadjuvant chemotherapy and subsequent Interval Debulking Surgery, followed by further cycles of chemotherapy.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Neoadjuvant chemotherapy + Interval Debulking Surgery

Intervention Type DRUG

Patients with suspected advanced ovarian cancer (FIGO stage IIIC) will undergo only to diagnostic laparoscopy. Omental cake, diaphragmatic or peritoneal extensive carcinomatosis, tumor diffusion to the small and large curvature of the stomach, large and/or small bowel mesentery disease, spleen and/or liver metastases will be investigated in order to obtain a laparoscopic score. After neoadjuvant chemotherapy interval debulking surgery will be performed: total hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, radical omentectomy, appendectomy, pelvic and paraaortic lymphadenectomy, eventual bowel resection, eventual bladder resection, eventual splenectomy, eventual parietal and diaphragmatic peritonectomy, eventual gastric resection, eventual hepatic resection, eventual pancreas resection, eventual cholecystectomy.
