    Abstract:
    Twenty-five patients with previously untreated adenocarcinoma of the ovary (International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics, stages II, III, and IV) were placed on a six-drug trial (CHAMP-5) for 18 months. This trial consisted of 28-day cycles of hexamethylmelamine, doxorubicin, and cisplatin alternating with hexamethylmelamine, cyclophosphamide, methotrexate, and 5-FU. After a minimum follow-up of 31 months, 14 (56%) of the 25 evaluable patients achieved complete or partial response and nine (36%) achieved complete pathologic response. Although CHAMP-5 is effective in the treatment of ovarian cancer, the results in these patients are not substantially different from those achieved with hexamethylmelamine, doxorubicin, and cisplatin alone.
