Anthracyclines and platinum derivates are active drugs for advanced endometrial carcinoma (AEC), but new schedules with higher efficacy and better tolerability are needed. A phase II study was conducted to describe activity and tolerability of carboplatin (C)+pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (PLD) in patients with AEC. Patients with chemonaive AEC, PS < or = 2, aged < 75 years, with at least one measurable lesion were eligible. Treatment was C (area under curve 5)+PLD (40 mg m(-2)) on day 1 every 4 weeks, up to six cycles. Forty-two patients were needed in a single-stage design, with at least 13 objective responses to define the treatment active. Forty-two patients were enrolled. Median age was 64 years (31-74). A total of 64% of patients were recurrent while 36% were advanced. Three complete (7%) and 22 partial responses (52%) were observed, for an overall response rate of 59.5% (95% exact CI: 43.3-74.3). One death potentially related to treatment was recorded (death at home for unknown reasons after 6th cycle). Other relevant toxicities (% of patients) were grade 3/4 neutropaenia 33%/14%, febrile neutropaenia 5%, grade 3/4 thrombocytopaenia 17%/5%, grade 3/4 anaemia 31%/2%. Skin toxicity was mild: grade 1 14%, grade 2 10%, grade 3 5%. Hair loss: complete 5%, partial 12%. The combination of carboplatin and PLD shows good activity and favourable toxicity as first-line chemotherapy of patients with AEC, deserving further studies in this setting.
