Objective: This Phase II study was carried out to investigate the efficacy, safety and pharmacokinetics of topotecan in Japanese patients with relapsed ovarian carcinoma.Methods: Patients with relapsed ovarian carcinoma after having received one regimen containing platinum-based chemotherapy were eligible for this study. Topotecan was administered at 1.2 mg/m(2)/day for five consecutive days, repeated every 3 weeks.Results: Seventy-two patients were enrolled in the study. The response rate was 28.2% (95% confidence interval, 18.1-40.1%). Signs of myelosuppression, such as neutropenia (Grade 3, 12.5%; Grade 4, 83.3%), thrombocytopenia (Grade 3, 36.2%; Grade 4, 4.2%) and decreased hemoglobin (Grade 3, 36.1%; Grade 4, 11.1%), were the most common hematological toxicities. Grade 3 febrile neutropenia occurred in 5 (6.9%) patients. There was little intraindividual or interindividual variability in the pharmacokinetics of topotecan.Conclusions: Topotecan at 1.2 mg/m(2)/day is an effective and tolerable therapeutic option for Japanese patients with relapsed ovarian carcinoma.
