Objective. Previously, we reported the use of three sequential doublets (Triple Doublets) in the treatment of women with newly diagnosed and advanced stage mullerian malignancies. The surgically defined negative second look operation (SLO) rate to Triple Doublets was 38%. Modifications were made to this treatment regimen that were predicted to reduce toxicity and possibly increase efficacy.Methods. Open label two-cohort study. Patients with a new diagnosis of Stages II-IV mullerian malignancy were eligible. After cytoreductive surgery, patients were treated with three sequential doublets including 3 cycles of carboplatin and gemcitabine, and 3 cycles of carboplatin and paclitaxel, and 3 cycles of doxorubicin and topotecan. After therapy, all women were clinically staged and evaluated at SLO if clinical staging was negative for residual disease. Primary endpoints were toxicity and negative SLO rate with rates of 60% and 40% defined a priori in optimally cytoreduced (cohort 1) and suboptimally cytoreduced or Stage IV (cohort 2), respectively.Results. Eighty-five eligible patients were enrolled with a median age of 52 years. Forty-seven and thirty-eight women were in cohorts 1 and 2, respectively. 723 cycles of chemotherapy were delivered with no toxic deaths. Grades 3 and 4 toxicities included neutropenia in 75% of patients and thrombocytopenia in 65% of patients during at least one cycle of therapy. Fever and neutropenia were seen in 3.5% of patients. All Grades 3 and 4 non-hematologic toxicities were seen at a frequency of < 10%. Seventy women underwent SLO with a negative SLO rate of 53% with an additional 9% having microscopically positive procedures. Negative SLO rate was 74% in cohort 1 and 36% in cohort 2.Conclusions. Treatment with the modified triple doublet regimen is tolerable with an encouraging pathologic CR rate. (c) 2006 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
