Abstract
There is some evidence from in vitro studies as well as case series that patients with documented platinum resistance will respond to platinum after a nonplatinum drug. In addition, retrospective case studies have demonstrated the difficulty in determining if delaying second platinum is detrimental or beneficial. For that reason, a prospective Italian randomized trial conducted by the Multicenter Italian Trials in Ovarian Cancer (MITO) Group (MITO-8), comparing nonplatinum with platinum-based therapy is being performed to assess the effects of delaying platinum on survival.
