A Controlled Study of the Effectiveness of Oregovomab (Antibody) Plus Chemotherapy in Advanced Ovarian Cancer

This is a Phase 2 randomized study with two treatment arms to compare the effectiveness of oregovomab (a murine monoclonal antibody directed against cancer antigen 125 (CA125)) when combined with first-line chemotherapy (carboplatin and paclitaxel) to first-line chemotherapy (carboplatin and paclitaxel alone) in female patients with advanced ovarian cancer.

Stanford is currently not accepting patients for this trial.

   upper limit normal (ULN), CTCAE v3.0 grade 1

   - have adequate Hepatic function: bilirubin less than or equal to 1.5 x ULN (CTCAE v3.0
   grade 1). SGOT and alkaline phosphatase less than or equal to 2.5 x ULN (CTCAE v3.0
