Brief summary

This study will characterize FDG-PET (18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose-Positron Emission Tomography) as an early response marker in recurrent, platinum-sensitive ovarian cancer treated with platinum-based therapy.

Interventions

PROCEDUREComparator: 18-F-FDG PET/CT and Volumetric CT

Patients will receive standard-of-care therapy (carboplatin or cisplatin monotherapy, or a two-drug combination where one is platinum). FDG-PET/CT scans will be performed at baseline following enrollment, after Cycles 1 and 2 of chemotherapy, and if patients are progression-free at the end of Cycle 6. Volumetric CT scans will be performed at baseline following enrollment, after Cycles 1 and 2 of chemotherapy, after Cycle 3 of chemotherapy (optional), and if patients are progression-free at the end of Cycle 6 and at 40 weeks after Cycle 1 dosing.
