Stratified Evaluation of PDS and NACT-IDS in Ovarian Cancer (FOCUS)
Epithelial Ovarian Cancer, Fallopian Tube Cancer, Primary Peritoneal Carcinoma
About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Epithelial Ovarian Cancer
Eligibility Criteria
For Part 1:
Inclusion Criteria:
- Females aged ≥ 18 years.
Pathologic confirmed stage IIIC and IV epithelial ovarian cancer, fallopian tube cancer or primary peritoneal carcinoma (diagnosis by biopsy or core needle biopsy*, laparoscopic biopsy is not recommended). * If core needle biopsy could not be performed, patients should satisfy the following conditions:
- the patient has a pelvic mass, and
- omental cake or other metastasis larger than 2 cm in the upper abdomen, or pathologic confirmed extra-abdominal metastasis (FIGO IV), and
- preoperative CA125/CEA ratio > 25. If CA125/CEA ratio ≤ 25, imaging or endoscopy is obligatory to exclude a primary gastric, colon, or breast carcinoma.
- cPCI score ≤ 8.
- Performance status (ECOG 0-2).
- Good ASA score (1/2).
Adequate bone marrow, renal and hepatic function to receive chemotherapy and subsequent surgery:
- white blood cells >3,000/µL, absolute neutrophil count ≥1,500/µL, platelets ≥100,000/µL, hemoglobin ≥9 g/dL,
- serum creatinine <1.25 x upper normal limit (UNL) or creatinine clearance ≥60 mL/min according to Cockroft-Gault formula or to local lab measurement,
- serum bilirubin <1.25 x UNL, AST(SGOT) and ALT(SGPT) <2.5 x UNL.
- Comply with the study protocol and follow-up.
- Patients who have given their written informed consent.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Non-epithelial ovarian malignancies and borderline tumors.
- Low grade ovarian cancer.
- Mucinous ovarian cancer.
- cPCI score > 8.
- Synchronous or metachronous (within 5 years) malignancy other than carcinoma in situ or breast carcinoma (without any signs of relapse or activity).
- Any other concurrent medical conditions contraindicating surgery or chemotherapy that could compromise the adherence to the protocol.
- Other conditions, such as religious, psychological and other factors, that could interfere with provision of informed consent, compliance to study procedures, or follow-up.
For Part 2:
Inclusion Criteria:
- Females aged ≥ 18 years, and < 70 years.
- Pathologic confirmed stage IIIC and IV epithelial ovarian cancer, fallopian tube cancer or primary peritoneal carcinoma.
- cPCI score ≥ 10.
- For FIGO IVB patients, abdominal lesions should be confined to one lobe of liver parenchyma metastasis or splenic metastasis. All extra-abdominal metastases should be resectable, such as inguinal lymph nodes, solitary supraclavicular, retrocrural or paracardial nodes.
- Good performance status (ECOG 0-1).
- Good ASA score (1/2).
- Adequate bone marrow, renal and hepatic function to receive chemotherapy and subsequent surgery.
- Comply with the study protocol and follow-up.
- Patients who have given their written informed consent.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Non-epithelial ovarian malignancies and borderline tumors.
- Low grade ovarian cancer.
- Mucinous ovarian cancer.
- Clear cell carcinoma.
- cPCI score < 8.
- Lung metastasis, diffused pleural metastasis, bone metastasis, metastasis of mediastinal lymph node, internal mammary node, or multiple extra-peritoneal lymph nodes.
- Synchronous or metachronous (within 5 years) malignancy other than carcinoma in situ or breast carcinoma (without any signs of relapse or activity).
- Any other concurrent medical conditions contraindicating surgery or chemotherapy that could compromise the adherence to the protocol.
- Other conditions, such as religious, psychological and other factors, that could interfere with provision of informed consent, compliance to study procedures, or follow-up.

Primary debulking surgery with a maximal cytoreduction of complete gross resection within 3 weeks after biopsy, followed by at least 6 cycles of adjuvant chemotherapy and maintenance therapy for patients with gBRCA/sBRCA mutation, CR/PR after platinum-based therapy.
Neoadjuvant chemotherapy with 3 cycles of chemotherapy, then followed by interval debulking surgery. The maximal time interval between course 3 chemotherapy and IDS is 6 weeks. And then 3 cycles of adjuvant chemotherapy and maintenance therapy for patients with gBRCA/sBRCA mutation, CR/PR after platinum-based therapy.
