1.Female patient, with histologically or cytologically confirmed advanced / metastatic epithelial ovarian cancer (including primary peritoneal and primary fallopian tube cancer) either :
a.first line platinum-refractory ovarian cancer (progression during first-line platinum-based chemotherapy)
b.first line platinum-resistant ovarian cancer (relapsing within 6 months after the end of first-line chemotherapy);
c.candidate to third line treatment (refractory, resistant, or sensitive to 2nd line platinum-based therapy or patients who progressed after other type of chemotherapy in 2nd line).
2.Patient has recovered of all acute toxic side effects of prior therapy or surgical procedures to grade = 1 Common Toxicity Criteria for Adverse Event (CTCAE v4.03), except for the laboratory values
3.Patient has at least one target lesion that can be measured in one dimension, according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST)
4.ECOG Performance status = 2
5.Patient with adequate organ function
a.Absolute neutrophils count (ANC) = 1.5 x 109/L
b.Haemoglobin = 10 g/dl
c.Platelets (PLT) = 75 x 109/L
d.AST and ALT = 3 x ULN (= 5 x ULN in case of liver metastases)
e.Gamma GT = 2.5 x ULN (= 5 x ULN in case of liver metastases)
f.Bilirubin = 1.5x ULN (= 3xULN in case of liver metastases)
g.Normal Creatinine or if abnormal creatinine, creatinine clearance = 50 mL/min (Cockcroft and Gault formula)
h.Albuminaemia > 1 x LLN
i.Urea = 2 x ULN
j.Proteinuria < 30 mg/dL (1+) on the dipstick. If proteinuria is = 1+ on the dipstick, 24 hours proteinuria must be < 1.5g/24 hours
6.Patient with life expectancy > 3 months
7.Patient weight > 40 kg and BMI > 18 Kg/m2
8.Female patient = 18 years
9.Patient with nutritional risk index (NRI) = 83.5, i.e. with no or moderate malnutrition; NRI is calculated as follows: NRI = 1.519 x serum albumin level + 0.417 x (current weight / basic weight) x 100
- serum albumin in g/L
- basic weight calculation with Lorentz formula for ideal BW for women: (height - 100) - ((height - 150)/2)
10.Female patient of childbearing potential (entering the study after a menstrual period and who have a negative pregnancy test), who agrees to use two methods (one for the patient and one for the partner) of medically acceptable forms of contraception during the study and for 3 months after the last treatment intake. Acceptable forms of contraception include:
• A documented placement of an intrauterine device (IUD) or intrauterine system (IUS) and the use of a barrier method (condom or occlusive cap [diaphragm or cervical/vault caps] used with spermicidal foam/gel/film/cream/suppository);
• Documented tubal ligation (female sterilisation). In addition, a barrier method (condom or occlusive cap [diaphragm or cervical/vault caps] used with spermicidal foam/gel/film/cream/suppository) should also be used;
•Double barrier method: condom and occlusive cap (diaphragm or cervical/vault caps) with spermicidal foam/gel/film/cream/suppository;
•Any other contraceptive method with a documented failure rate of <1% per year;
•Abstinence, when this is in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle of the patient.
11.Patient able and willing to comply with study visits and procedures as per protocol
12.Patient is able to understand, sign, and date the written informed consent form at the screening visit prior to any protocol-specific procedures performed. If the patient is deemed by the treating physician to
1.Patient intolerant to gemcitabine or having received gemcitabine as a second line therapy
2.Patient who has not recovered from any significant treatment toxicities prior to baseline (=Grade 2)
3.Patient presenting with cardiac disorders defined by at least one of the following conditions:
a)Patient with recent cardiac history (within 6 months) of:
-Acute coronary syndrome
-Acute heart failure (class III or IV of the NYHA classification)
-Significant ventricular arrhythmia (persistent ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation, resuscitated sudden death)
b)Patient with cardiac failure class III or IV of the NYHA classification
c)Patient with severe conduction disorders which are not prevented by permanent pacing (atrio-ventricular block 2 and 3, sino-atrial block)
d)Syncope without known aetiology within 3 months
e)Uncontrolled severe hypertension, according to the judgment of the investigator, or symptomatic hypertension
4.Pregnant or nursing female patient
5.Patient with active central nervous system (CNS) metastasis or with history of CNS metastasis
6.Patient treated for a cancer other than epithelial ovarian cancer within 5 years before enrolment, with the exception of basal cell carcinoma or cervical cancer in situ
7.Patient with history of poor compliance or history of drug/alcohol abuse, or excessive alcohol beverage consumption that would interfere with the ability to comply with the study protocol, or current or past psychiatric disease that might interfere with the ability to comply with the study protocol or give informed consent
