Brief Summary  

This is a randomized, multi-centre, open-label, two treatment, two-period, single-dose, crossover, bioequivalence study of Doxorubicin Hydrochloride Liposome Injection 2mg/mL (50 mg/m2 dose) of Alembic Pharmaceuticals Limited, India and PrTaro-DOXOrubicin Liposomal 2mg/mL (Pegylated Liposomal Doxorubicin Hydrochloride) (50 mg/m2 dose for Injection) of Taro Pharmaceuticals Inc, 130 East Drive, Brampton, Ontario, Canada, L6T 1C1 in a patient with advanced ovarian cancer under standard diet (non-high-fat) conditions. Enough number of eligible consenting ovarian cancer patients whose disease has progressed or recurred after platinum-based chemotherapy and who are already receiving or scheduled to start therapy on doxorubicin hydrochloride (liposomal) shall be recruited to complete the study with at least eighteen (18) evaluable patients. All the subjects will be on overnight fasting of at least 10 hours before breakfast. All patients will be provided with a standard (non-high-fat) breakfast during the study and the treatment will be initiated at least 2 hours after completion of breakfast.

A gap of 28 days will be maintained between 2 periods of the study as per the dosing recommendation of the product.
