N-acetylcysteine Given IV With Cisplatin and Paclitaxel in Patients With Ovarian Cancer

OBJECTIVES: PRIMARY: To determine the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) and assess the toxicity of IV NAC in conjunction with IP cisplatin and IV/IP paclitaxel in subjects with stage 3 or 4 epithelial ovarian cancer that has been surgically debulked SECONDARY: * To describe tumor response in subjects receiving treatment for previously debulked stage 3 or 4 epithelial ovarian cancer with IP cisplatin, IV/IP paclitaxel , and IV NAC. * To describe the incidence and severity of nephrotoxicity (Creatinine Clearance (CrCl)) in subjects undergoing treatment for stage 3 or 4 epithelial ovarian cancer with IP cisplatin, IV paclitaxel and IV NAC and who have had their disease surgically debulked. * To describe the incidence and severity of hearing loss in subjects undergoing treatment for stage 3 or 4 epithelial ovarian cancer with IP cisplatin, IV/IP paclitaxel and IV NAC and who have had their disease surgically debulked. * To describe the incidence and severity of peripheral and autonomic neuropathy in subjects undergoing treatment for stage 3 or 4 epithelial ovarian cancer with IP cisplatin, IV/IP Taxol and IV NAC and who have had their disease surgically debulked. OUTLINE: Subjects will undergo chemotherapy for epithelial ovarian cancer with paclitaxel IV, 135 mg/m2 (Day 1) and IP cisplatin 100 mg/m2 (Day2), followed by Taxol IP, 60 mg/m2 (Day 8) every 3 weeks for 6 courses. Sixty minutes prior to each course of IP cisplatin, IV NAC (starting at 150 mg/kg) will be infused over 30 minutes. A dose escalation schema for NAC will be followed. Toxicity to the therapy will be graded according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events.
