Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes

Efficacy of the Combination Carboplatin plus Celecoxib in Heavily Pre-treated Recurrent Ovarian Cancer Patients

The tumor response rate by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria and duration of response, progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), toxicity assessment, and quality of life (QoL) measures with carboplatin-celcoxib in heavly pretreated recurrent ovarian cancer patients.

Time frame: 48 months

Secondary Outcomes

The modulation of angiogenesis-related molecules with the combination celecoxib plus carboplatin in patients with recurrent, heavily pre-treated OC

Serum levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and endostatin evaluated in a preliminary series of 11 patients at baseline and after 1 month of carboplatin-celecoxib

Time frame: 12 months
