How Platinol Affects Patients

Cisplatin is a type of medicine used to treat cancer. It works by attacking the DNA in cells and stopping them from dividing and replicating. Cisplatin adds extra molecules to the DNA which stops it from being used correctly and causes it to be coded incorrectly, leading to cell death. It is not specific to any part of the cell cycle and works in three different ways to achieve the same result.

How Platinol works in the body

Alkylating agents fight cancer by blocking DNA and RNA production. They do this by attaching alkyl groups to DNA bases, causing them to fragment and preventing synthesis. They also form bonds between atoms in the DNA which stop it from being separated and used. Lastly, they make it so the nucleotides don't match properly, which causes mutations in the DNA.

When to interrupt dosage

The measure of Platinol is contingent upon the diagnosed affliction, including Refractory to Standard Therapies, Advanced Ovarian Cancer and Neoplasm Metastasis. The amount of dosage also differs according to the technique of delivery (e.g. Injection, solution or Solution) specified in the table below.

Patients will be registered prior to, during or at the completion of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (Paclitaxel 175 mg/m2 IV over 3 hours and Carboplatin AUC 6 IV on Day 1 every 21 days for 3-4 cycles). Registered patients who progress during neoadjuvant chemotherapy will not be eligible for iCRS and will be removed from the study. Following completion of neoadjuvant chemotherapy, interval cytoreductive surgery (iCRS) will be performed in the usual fashion in both arms. Patients will be randomized at the time of iCRS (iCRS must achieve no gross residual disease or no disease \>1.0 cm in largest diameter) to receive HIPEC or no HIPEC. Patients randomized to HIPEC (Arm A) will receive a single dose of cisplatin (100mg/m2 IP over 90 minutes at 42 C) as HIPEC. After postoperative recovery patients will receive standard post-operative platinum-based combination chemotherapy. Patients randomized to surgery only (Arm B) will receive postoperative standard chemotherapy after recovery from surgery. Both groups will receive an additional 2-3 cycles of platinum-based combination chemotherapy per institutional standard (Paclitaxel 175 mg/m2 IV over 3 hours and Carboplatin AUC 6 IV on Day 1 every 21 days for 2-3 cycles) for a maximum total of 6 cycles of chemotherapy (neoadjuvant plus post-operative cycles) followed by niraparib individualized dosing until progression or 36 months (if no evidence of disease).
