The ICON3 trial compared the efficacy of:

  • an experimental treatment of carboplatin and paclitaxel, with
  • control treatment of either single agent carboplatin or CAP (cyclophosphamide, cisplatin and doxorubicin)

2074 patients with ovarian carcinoma were randomised to experimental treatment or control. The type of control treatment was decided upon by clinician and patient before randomisation. The primary endpoint was overall survival. Analysis was by intention to treat.
