The therapeutic effects of adriamycin and of melphalan in patients with advanced carcinoma of the ovary were tested in a prospective randomized study. Complete and partial remission occurred in eight of 19 patients treated with adriamycin and in four of 20 patients given melphalan. The difference, however, is not statistically significant. The median duration of complete and partial remissions was slightly longer after treatment with melphalan than with adriamycin. The number of cycles required to produce the initial regression state was less in the patients in the group given adriamycin as compared with those in the group treated with melphalan. No cross resistance was observed between the two drugs. These data indicate that, in patients with carcinoma of the ovary, the therapeutic efficacy of adriamycin is competitive with that of the most effective conventional agents, such as melphalan.
