abstract: Health-related quality of life in recurrent platinum-sensitive ovarian cancer—results from the CALYPSO trial

Background: In the CALYPSO trial, carboplatin–pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (CD) demonstrated superior therapeutic index versus carboplatin–paclitaxel (CP) in patients with recurrent ovarian cancer. This paper reports the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) findings.

Conclusions: These patient-reported outcomes confirm the overall lower toxicity of CD versus CP. The improved disease-related outcomes achieved with CD were not at the expense of QoL.
