phase i/ii open-label, dose escalation study to determine the maximum tolerated dose and to evaluate the safety profile of lenalidomide (revlimid® cc-5013) with liposomal doxorubicin in subjects with advanced ovarian and primary peritoneal carcinoma

Conditions: Ovarian Cancer

Summary: phase i will determine the mtd and evaluated the safety profile of oral lenalidomide on days 1-21 when given with liposomal doxorubicin on day 1 of every 28 day cycle phase ii will commence once the mtd is established, additional subjects will be enrolled and receive oral lenalidomide on days 1-21 with liposomal doxorubicinon day 1 in 28 day cycles until disease progression is documented.
