High-dose carboplatin with diethyldithiocarbamate chemoprotection in treatment of women with relapsed ovarian cancer.

Diethyldithiocarbamate (DDTC) has been found to protect the bone marrow, kidneys, and gastrointestinal tract from the toxic effects of cisplatin and carboplatin (CBDCA) in animal models. In an attempt to minimize the toxic effects of high-dose CBDCA (800 mg/m2), a pilot study was undertaken in which women with relapsed or refractory epithelial ovarian cancer were treated with high-dose CBDCA, which was followed 3 hours later with DDTC (4 g/m2). There were four partial responses and no complete response in 21 patients who could be evaluated (overall response rate, 19%). Significant toxic effects, including three treatment-related deaths, were associated with the regimen. This study suggests that while high-dose CBDCA plus DDTC may be active in relapsed or refractory ovarian cancer, it is associated with clinically significant hematologic and autonomic toxic effects.[1]
