But the prognosis remains poor. Several chemotherapy regimens could be selected for patientswith recrudescent cancer. However, the standard second chemotherapy regimen remains a subject of debate. Thepurpose of our study is to carry out a systematic review and network meta-analysis to compare the efficacy andsafety of different regimens for recurrent platinum-resistant ovarian cancer based on existing randomized controlledtrials (RCTs). Methods and analysis: Medline, EMBASE, Cochrane Library and Cochrane Library databases,Science Citation Index Expanded, Conference Proceedings Citation Index-Science and ClinicalTrials.gov will besystematically searched for eligible studies. Randomized controlled trials (RCT) on chemotherapy, immune therapy,biological therapy, targeted therapy for recurrent platinum-resistant ovarian cancer with multiple outcome measureswill be included. The Cochrane Risk of Bias Tool will be used to assess the quality of included studies. The primaryoutcomes are overall survival and median survival time. The secondary outcomes include the safety and side effectsof these regimens. Direct meta-analysis and network meta-analysis (NMA) will be conducted to compare differentregimens. Conclusion: The results of this network meta-analysis will provide direct and indirect evidence oftreatments for recurrent platinum-resistant ovarian cancer, and it may provide a ranking of the chemotherapyregimens for patients and gynecological oncologists to help them select the best option.展开更多
