OBJECTIVE: To assess the safety and efficacy of pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (PLD), carboplatin, plus bevacizumab in patients with ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer. METHODS: Patients with platinum-sensitive, recurrent disease received PLD 30 mg/m(2) and carboplatin area under the curve (AUC) 5 on Day 1 plus bevacizumab 10mg/kg on Days 1 and 15 of every 28-day cycle, for a maximum of 10 cycles. The primary endpoint was objective response rate (ORR) [complete+partial response]; additional endpoints were safety, duration of response, progression-free survival (PFS), and time to progression (TTP). RESULTS: Of the 54 patients enrolled, 15 (27.8%) completed the study treatment as planned. Intent-to-treat (all enrolled patients) ORR was 72.2% (95% CI: 58.4, 83.5). Median duration of response was 11.9 months (95% CI: 9.3, not estimable) and median TTP was 13.9 months (95% CI: 11.4, 16.0). PFS was virtually the same as TTP. Three (5.6%) patients discontinued therapy due to disease progression, and another 3 (5.6%) patients discontinued therapy due to serious adverse events (Grade 4 thrombocytopenia, Grade 3 small/large intestinal obstruction/small intestinal perforation, and Grade 3 abdominal abscess). Fifty (92.6%) patients had ≥1 adverse event of interest, most commonly neutropenia (42.6%), hypertension (37.0%), stomatitis (37.0%), proteinuria (37.0%), and palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia (27.8%). No appreciable decreases in left-ventricular ejection fraction were observed. CONCLUSION: Most patients responded to PLD, carboplatin, and bevacizumab combination therapy. The safety profile was consistent with the known toxicities of these agents. These findings present a potential treatment option for women with ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer.
