Abstract： Objective To evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of the combination of oxaliplatin,ifosfamide and epirubicin(IAP)in treatment of recurrent or platinum-resistant ovarian cancer patients.Methods A total of 25 patients received the combined chemotherapy of ifosfamide(3-4 g/m2),epirubicin(50-60 mg/m2)and oxaliplatin(130 mg/m2).The cycles were repeated every 21 days.The efficacy and toxicity were evaluated in 21 patients who received more than 2 cycles of IAP chemotherapy.Results The overall response rate was 71%,with a complete response in 10(48%),partial response in 5(24%),stable disease in one(5%),and disease progression in 5(24%).The median progression-free and overall survival time were 11(1 to 33)months and 31(1 to 71)months.While overall response rate was 60%in 10 patients with primary platinum resistant,and 88%in 8 patients with secondary platinumresistant.Grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ myelosuppression rate wss 30%.The most common non-hematologic toxicity was perineurotoxicity(38%).Conclusions The combination of oxaliplatin,ifasfamide and epirubicin appears to be effective for recurrent or platinum-resistant ovarian cancer patients as salvage chemotherapy and the toxicity is also tolerable.However,it needs to be evaluated by multiple clinical trials.
