Brief Summary: RATIONALE PEG-interferon alfa-2b may interfere with the growth of cancer cells
PURPOSE This randomized phase III trial is studying the side effects and best dose of PEG-interferon alfa-2b and to see how well it works in treating patients with ovarian epithelial peritoneal or fallopian tube cancer that is resistant to platinum-based chemotherapy
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES
Determine the optimum biologic dose of PEG-interferon alfa-2b in patients with platinum-resistant ovarian epithelial peritoneal or fallopian tube cancer Determine the safety and tolerability of this drug in these patients
OUTLINE This is a randomized study Patients are randomized to 1 of 3 different treatment arms
Arm I Patients receive PEG-interferon alfa-2b PEG IFN-α subcutaneously SC on days 1 8 15 and 22 Arm II Patients receive PEG IFN-α SC at a higher dose than in arm I on days 1 8 15 and 22 Arm III Patients receive PEG IFN-α SC at a higher dose than in arm II on days 1 8 15 and 22
In all arms treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 12 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity
Patients are followed for at least 28 days after study treatment
PROJECTED ACCRUAL A maximum of 75 patients will be accrued for this study within 19 months
