Phase II randomized study of trabectedin given as two different every 3 weeks dose schedules (1.5 mg/m2 24 h or 1.3 mg/m2 3 h) to patients with relapsed, platinum-sensitive, advanced ovarian cancer

TLDR
Both every-3-weeks trabectedin regimes were active and reasonably well tolerated in AOC platinum-sensitive patients and deserves to be further evaluated in relapsed AOC.

Recurrent Epithelial Ovarian Carcinoma: A Randomized Phase III Study of Pegylated Liposomal Doxorubicin Versus Topotecan

TL;DR: The comparable efficacy, favorable safety profile, and convenient dosing support the role of PLD as a valuable treatment option in patients with epithelial ovarian carcinoma that recurred after or didn't respond to first-line, platinum-based chemotherapy.

Second-line platinum therapy in patients with ovarian cancer previously treated with cisplatin.

TL;DR: Primary responses to cisplatin/carboplatin-based treatment are common in patients with ovarian cancer who have previously responded to the agents and increase in frequency with greater distance from the initial therapy.

European-Canadian randomized trial of paclitaxel in relapsed ovarian cancer: high-dose versus low-dose and long versus short infusion.

TL;DR: In this article, the dose-response relationship of Taxol in relapsed ovarian cancer and the safety of a short infusion given with pre-medication was investigated in a bifactorial design.

Long-term survival advantage for women treated with pegylated liposomal doxorubicin compared with topotecan in a phase 3 randomized study of recurrent and refractory epithelial ovarian cancer

TL;DR: Long-term follow-up demonstrates that treatment with pegylated liposomal doxorubicin significantly prolongs survival compared with topotecan in patients with recurrent and refractory epithelial ovarian cancer.
