Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of BIBF 1120 [up to 126 days]
- Incidence and intensity of adverse events according to the CTCAE (Common terminology criteria for adverse events Version) version 3.0 with increasing doses of BIBF 1120 [up to 9 months]
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Objective tumour response after treatment with BIBF 1120 in combination with carboplatin and paclitaxel in evaluable patients [up to 9 months]
- Cancer antigen 125 (CA-125) response [Day 1 of each treatment period]
- Time to tumour progression (time from treatment start to the time of documented tumour progression) [up to 9 months]
