Chemotherapy Toxicity On Quality of Life in Older Patients With Stage I, Stage II, Stage III, or Stage IV Ovarian Epithelial, Primary Peritoneal Cavity, or Fallopian Tube Cancer

Not Recruiting

Trial ID: NCT01366183

Purpose

This trial studies the chemotherapy toxicity on quality of life in older patients with stage I, stage II, stage III, or stage IV ovarian epithelial, primary peritoneal cavity, or fallopian tube cancer. Learning about the side effects of chemotherapy in older patients may help doctors plan better ways to treat cancer.

   - Patients must have received no previous treatment for this malignancy other than
   surgery

   - Patients must be entered within eight weeks of confirmation of disease diagnosis by
   surgery, biopsy, FNA, paracentesis or thoracentesis if there is no primary surgery,
   and within twelve weeks of primary or staging surgery if patient received primary
   surgery

   - Creatinine less than or equal to 1.5 x ULN

   - Patients must have a Gynecologic Oncology Group (GOG) performance status of 0, 1, 2 or
   3

   - Effective XX/XX/2014, only patients 75 years of age or older are eligible for

Exclusion Criteria:

   - Patients who have received previous treatment for this malignancy other than surgery

   - Patients with other invasive malignancies whose previous cancer treatment
   contraindicates this protocol therapy

   - ?Borderline tumors? (tumors of low malignant potential) by surgery or biopsy are
   excluded

   - Patients with medical conditions that in the opinion of the investigator render
   treatment on this protocol unsafe should be excluded
