Given the high rate of recurrence of ovarian cancer, the search for new therapeutic strategies are topical issue. According to various studies the effectiveness of drug treatment relapse depends on the platinum-free interval, increasing in proportion to its duration. If therapy is platinum-resistant recurrent ovarian cancer is a standard approach, the treatment of platinum-sensitive recurrent algorithm is not fully defined. Comparison of platinum and non-platinum combinations revealed the advantage of combined platinum- treatment for patients with platinum-free interval of more than 6 months without an increase in life expectancy. Non-platinum combination of trabectedin with pegylated liposomal doxorubicin has shown comparable efficacy with an advantage in overall survival in patients with platinum-free interval of 6–12 months. A platinum-free interval prolongation by the use of non-platinum mode increases the efficiency of subsequent platinum-based therapy, increasing the life expectancy of patients . Currently under study molecular markers and prognostic factors allowing to define a group of patients who have the greatest benefit from the use trabectedin with pegylated liposomal doxorubicin as second-line chemotherapy.

Ovarian cancer relapses have been traditionally classified according to the platinum-free interval, leading to an arbitrary categorization of possible scenarios and treatment options. Its relevance in assessing treatment strategies has been revised in the last several years, as the panorama is constantly changing in the era of personalized medicine and targeted therapies. Factors to be considered while defining the best management of recurrent disease, and, consequently, the available treatment alternatives are increasing. Platinum remains one of the milestones of ovarian cancer treatment, but for some patients it might not be an ideal choice for several reasons other than limited platinum sensitivity. This review aims to analyze the scenarios in which platinum is not considered suitable in the management of patients with recurrent ovarian cancer, and the currently available alternatives.
