Safety Study Involving Oxaliplatin With Docetaxel for Recurrent Ovarian,Primary Peritoneal, and Fallopian Tube Cancer

The purpose of this study is to determine the safest and maximum tolerated dosing regimens for intraperitoneal oxaliplatin with intravenous docetaxel and intravenous oxaliplatin with intraperitoneal docetaxel for recurrent ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer.

This is a non-randomized, open-label Phase I trial in patients with previously treated, recurrent ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer. Patients may have either platinum -sensitive (relapse \> 12 months from primary therapy) or platinum-resistant (relapse ≤ 12 months from primary therapy) disease.

Up to 20 patients will be enrolled into each of the following arms:

* Arm 1 patients will receive intravenous docetaxel at standard dosing of 75 mg/m2 over 1 hour on day #1 followed by intraperitoneal oxaliplatin on day #2 until maximum tolerated dose is achieved.
* Arm 2 patients will receive intravenous oxaliplatin at standard dosing of 75 mg/m2 over 1 hour on day #1 followed by intraperitoneal docetaxel on day #2 until maximum tolerated dose is achieved.

Treatment will be repeated every 3 weeks until disease progression, intolerable toxicity.

* Subjects may not have had \> 3 prior regimens and must not have had a platinum or taxane agent within the past 6 months. Last chemotherapy must have been \> 4 weeks prior to enrollment. Subjects may not have had prior whole abdomen or pelvic radiation. Patients may not have had \> 6 cycles of an alkylating agent or \> 450 mg/m2 of doxorubicin.
* ECOG Performance Score of ≤2 (Appendix A)
* Adequate bone marrow as evidenced by:

  * Absolute neutrophil count \> or equal to 1,500/uL
  * Hemoglobin \> or equal to 8 g/dl
  * Platelet count \> or equal to 100,000/uL
* Adequate renal function as evidenced by serum creatinine \< 1.5 mg/dL

* Patients or their legal representatives must be able to read, understand and provide informed consent to participate in the trial.
* Patients of childbearing potential and their partners must agree to use an effective form of contraception during the study and for 90 days following the last dose of study medication (an effective form of contraception is an oral contraceptive or a double barrier method)

Exclusion Criteria:

* Patients with an active infection or with a fever \> 101.30 F within 3 days of the first scheduled day of protocol treatment
* Patients with active extra-abdominal metastases

* Patients who received pelvic or abdominal radiotherapy
* Patients who are receiving concurrent investigational therapy or who have received investigational therapy within 30 days of the first scheduled day of protocol treatment (investigational therapy is defined as treatment for which there is currently no regulatory authority approved indication)
* Peripheral neuropathy ≤ Grade 2
* Patients who are pregnant or lactating
* Any other medical condition, including mental illness or substance abuse, deemed by the Investigator to be likely to interfere with a patient's ability to sign informed consent, cooperate and participate in the study, or interfere with the interpretation of the results.
