Oxaliplatin was brought into clinical evaluation in ovarian cancer because of the in vitro and in vivo antitumor activity observed in experimental models resistant to cisplatin. As single agent at 130 mg/m2 every 3 weeks, the objective response rates rage from 16% to 29% in patients treated after failure of one or two regimens. As first line, in a randomized trial cyclophosphamide-cisplatin versus cyclophosphamide-oxaliplatine, no significant statistical differences were observed in efficacy parameters (response rate, progression free survival and overall survival). The toxicity profile seemed to favor the oxaliplatin arm. Many associations with other available active drugs as taxanes, gemcitabine and liposomal doxorubicin were performed with promising results.
