About this trial
ACTOv will compare standard 3-weekly carboplatin (AUC5), to carboplatin delivered according to an AT regimen. The AT regimen will modify carboplatin dose according to changes in the clinical-standard serum biomarker CA125 as a proxy measure of total tumour burden and an individual patient's response to the most recent chemotherapy treatment. AT could prolong sensitivity to carboplatin and extend tumour control, while simultaneously reducing chemotherapy dose and drug-induced toxicity. Carboplatin is a low cost and low toxicity drug that has an enduring and central role in ovarian cancer treatment.

Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Modified Progression Free Survival (mPFS)
Measured from the date of randomisation to the date of objective progression (investigator assessed using RECIST v1.1) but comparing CT scans to the baseline CT rather than the radiological nadir), clinical progression or death from any cause (in the absence of progression)
Secondary outcomes
Acceptability (1/2)
the number of eligible patients approached who accept randomisation and continue to receive treatment
Acceptability (2/2)
the proportion of eligible patients approached who accept randomisation and continue to receive treatment
Deliverability (1/2)
the number of treatment cycles that are delivered as per protocol, described by trial arm
Deliverability (2/2)
the proportion of treatment cycles that are delivered as per protocol, described by trial arm
