Twenty patients with stage III or IV ovarian carcinoma refractory to chlorambucil were treated with IV cisplatin, adriamycin and cyclophosphamide. Two patients achieved CR and four PR, giving an overall response rate of 30%. All patients have since died at 0-18 (median 8) months. Use of this region was associated with marked toxicity, including three drug-related deaths. Second-time drug combinations should be regarded as experimental, and they should probably only be used in selected patients outside of clinical trials.
