Authors' objectives:

To review the available scientific evidence on the efficacy, safety and efficacy of trabectedin in combination with PLD in patients with platinum-sensitive relapsed ovarian cancer.

Authors' recommendations: The greatest benefits of trabectedin in relapsed ovarian cancer are observed in partially platinum- sensitive patients in whom an improvement in progression-free survival has been observed when therapy is combined with PLD. The combination is generally well tolerated but it has been related to a higher rate of severe haematological and cardiac adverse events than PLD therapy alone.
