Brief summary
Single -arm, multicenter phase-II trial for catumaxomab and chemotherapy in patients with recurrent ovarian cancer to investigate the feasibility and clinical activity of initial intraperitoneal catumaxomab followed by chemotherapy regimes.
Interventions
Catumaxomab dosing comprises the following four intraperitoneal (i.p.) infusions via an i.p.-port or an indwelling catheter: 1. 10 µg on day 0 2. 20 µg on day 3 3. 50 µg on day 7 4. 150 µg on day 10

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* Histologically or cytologically confirmed epithelial ovarian cancer, primary peritoneal carcinomatosis or fallopian tube cancer * Recurrent ovarian cancer disease * Signs for progression either measurable disease according to RECIST or CA 125 increase according the GCIG-criteria or clinical symptoms of tumor progression according to RECIST * Radiologically and cytologically confirmed malignant ascites possible to puncture * Life expectancy ≥ 12 weeks * Age ≥ 18 years * ECOG performance status at least 1 * No prior operation or, in case of prior operation, the patient must be recovered therefrom.

Exclusion criteria
* known brain metastases * Concomitant cancer, chemo- or radiotherapy (except for local radiation therapy for bone marrow metastases) * Any investigational product within 2 weeks prior to first administration of catumaxomab * In cases of previous exposure to investigational product, cancer-, chemo-, immune- or radiotherapy (except for local radiation therapy for bone marrow metastasis): not sufficiently recovered from previous treatment (toxicity present) based on adequate laboratory values and general status according to other in-/
