Carboplatin-based combinations are established in platinum-sensitive recurrent ovarian cancer. To improve the therapeutic index, new platinum-based combinations are required. Pemetrexed is a multi-targeted antifolate inhibiting thymidylate synthase. The aim of this study was to determine the maximally tolerated dose (MTD) and dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) and to characterize toxicities of the combination of pemetrexed (Pem) and carboplatin (Cb).
