Nab-paclitaxel Versus Sb-taxanes As First-Line Treatment in Advanced Ovarian Cancer

The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of nab-paclitaxel with solvent-based taxanes as first-line treatment for patients with advanced primary epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC), primary peritoneal carcinoma or fallopian tube carcinoma.

One of the major challenges related to solvent-based taxanes administration in clinical practice is the high rate of hypersensitivity reactions (HSRs). Nab-paclitaxel has showed its considerable survival and low toxicity profiles in first-line treatment for several solid tumors and is recommended as a treatment for recurrent epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). We focus on clinical efficacy and safety outcomes of nab-paclitaxel in current clinical studies of primary EOC treatment and aim to explore the potential feasibility of nab-paclitaxel as the first-line treatment for EOC, primary peritoneal carcinoma or fallopian tube carcinoma.
