Summary:
The main purpose of this study is to see if BIBF 1120 can increase the number of women with
bevacizumab resistant, persistent, or recurrent epithelial ovarian cancer who do not
progress for at least six months.
Description:
Ovarian cancer patients with platinum-resistant and refractory disease have the lowest
response rates to relapse chemotherapy: various chemotherapeutic agents, such as paclitaxel,
liposomal doxorubicin, topotecan, docetaxel, platinum, etoposide, ifosfamide, gemcitabine,
and vinorelbine are available but result in response rates of 7-40%. Unfortunately, relapse
therapy is not curative and treatment is only palliative. Recently two phase II trials
demonstrated that anti-angiogenic therapy with bevacizumab alone or in combination with
chemotherapy in women with recurrent disease had response rates ranging from 16-24% with an
acceptable toxicity profile. However, resistance can develop to VEGF inhibition. Therefore
other novel anti-angiogenic agents, such as BIBF 1120, should be evaluated in the treatment
of ovarian cancer.

- Prior therapy
- Patients must have had one prior platinum-based chemotherapeutic regimen for management of primary disease containing carboplatin, cisplatin, or another organoplatinum compound. This initial treatment may have included intraperitoneal therapy, high-dose therapy, consolidation, non-cytotoxic agents or extended therapy administered after surgical or non-surgical assessment.
- Allowed, to receive, but are not required to receive, 1 additional cytotoxic regimen for management of recurrent or persistent disease according to the following:
- Patients who have received only one prior cytotoxic regimen (platinum-based regimen for management of primary disease), must have a platinum-free interval of less than 12 months, or have progressed during platinum-based therapy, or have persistent disease after a platinum-based therapy.
- Patients must NOT have received any non-cytotoxic therapy for management of recurrent or persistent disease other than bevacizumab. Patients are allowed to receive, but are not required to receive, biologic (non-cytotoxic) therapy as part of their primary treatment regimen.
- Must have adequate:
- Bone marrow function: Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) = 1,500/mcl, equivalent to (CTCAE v4.0) grade 1. Platelets = 100,000/mcl. Hemoglobin (Hb) = 9.0 g/dL
- Renal function: creatinine = 1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN)
- Hepatic function: Bilirubin should be w/in normal limits (CTCAE v4.0, grade 1). ALT/AST, should be = 1.5 x ULN (CTCAE v4.0, grade 1). For patients w/ liver metastases, ALT/AST should be = 2.5 x ULN; Alkaline phosphatase should be = 2.5 x ULN (CTCAE v4.0, grade 1)
- Neurologic function: Neuropathy = CTCAE v4.0, grade 1
- Blood coagulation parameters: PT w/ international normalized ratio (INR) < 1.5 x ULN & a PTT < 1.5 x ULN (or an in-range PTT if on a stable dose of therapeutic heparin). Low molecular weight heparin (enoxaparin or alternative anticoagulants (other than warfarin)) are acceptable.
