Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?

This trial is for people with ovarian cancer that came back within a year after platinum-based chemo. They should be fairly active (ECOG ≤2), have good organ and bone marrow function, and able to consent. It's not for those allergic to the drugs being tested, with uncontrolled sickness, heart failure, trouble absorbing food, taking certain other meds or any experimental cancer treatments.

What Are the Treatments Tested in This Trial?

Interventions

• Lapatinib
• Paclitaxel

Trial Overview The study tests increasing doses of Lapatinib combined with Paclitaxel in patients whose ovarian cancer resisted platinum chemotherapy. The goal is to find the safest dose level that can be used in future phase II trials.

How Is the Trial Designed?

Group I: Lapatinib - Group 3 Experimental Treatment 1 Intervention

Patients in this group will receive Lapatinib (2000mg PO BID) and Paclitaxel (80mg/m2).

Group II: Lapatinib - Group 2 Experimental Treatment 1 Intervention

Patients in this group will receive Lapatinib (1500mg PO BID) and Paclitaxel (80mg/m2).

Group III: Lapatinib - Group 1 Experimental Treatment 1 Intervention

Patients in this group will receive Lapatinib (750mg PO BID) and Paclitaxel (80mg/m2).

Lapatinib is already approved in United States, European Union for the following indications:
