5538 Background: Development of new regimen is required to overcome platinum resistant ovarian cancer. Irinotecan and gemcitabine have a synergistic effect to inhibit the growth of ovarian cancer cell line in vitro. The objective is to evaluate the feasibility of combination chemotherapy with irinotecan and gemcitabine for taxane/platinum resistant recurrent ovarian, fallopian tube or peritoneal cancer and to determine the recommended dose. Methods: Nine patients with measurable disease (age range 51-70 years) were enrolled. Patients were treated with irinotecan and gemcitabine on days 1 and 8 every 3 weeks with starting dose of level 1. Dose levels included irinotecan/gemcitabine: 65/650 (level 0), 80/800 (level 1), 100/1000 (level 2), mg/m2 respectively. Level 2 is defined as the maximum dose as used in other malignancies. Dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) was assessed during the first cycle; toxicities were monitored throughout the treatment according to the CTCAE v4.0. Treatment continued until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Results: In level 1 (n = 6), grade 3/4 neutropenia was observed in 5 patients. Grade 3 nausea and vomiting was observed in 1, grade 3 diarrhea in 1. One patient of level 1 experienced DLTs. In level 2 (n = 3), grade 3/4 neutropenia are observed in 3, anemia in 1, and thrombocytopenia in one patient. Other toxicities were mild. Three patients who received level 2 did not show DLT. The objective response was CR/PR/SD/PD, 0/2/5/2. Conclusions: The dose level of irinotecan 100 mg/m2 and gemcitabine 1000 mg/m2 on day 1 and 8 every 3 weeks is recommended for a phase II study. Clinical trial information: UMIN000005926.
