This is an international, randomized phase II trial. The aim is to assess the efficacy and the safety of BI 6727 Versus investigator's best choice single agent cytotoxic in recurrent third and fourth lines platinum resistant/refractory ovarian cancer. 100 patients will be randomised at the study entry to receive either BI 6727 (Arm A: 50 patients) or non-platinum single agent cytotoxic (Arm B: 50 patients) Treatment will be continued until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Primary endpoint: disease control rate at week 24 according to Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumours version 1.1. Secondary endpoints: efficacy (progression free survival, overall survival, biological tumour response, biological progression free survival assessed by serum CA 125 according to Gynecologic Cancer Intergroup criteria, safety according to the NCI CTCAE v.3, disease symptoms control assessed by the EORTC QLQ-C30, QLQ-OV28 and individual symptoms questionnaires, pharmacokinetics of BI 6727. Others endpoints: biomarkers and pharmacogenetics analysis (optional)

Disease Control Rate (DCR) at Week 24 According to Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumours (RECIST) Version 1.1
DCR was defined as the proportion of patients who had an overall response of complete response (CR), partial response (PR), or stable disease (SD).
Time frame: Week 24
Progression Free Survival (PFS)
Progression-free survival of a patient was based on the investigator's assessment; it was defined as the number of days from the date of randomisation until the date of either disease progression or death from any cause, whichever occurred first. Definition of disease progression according to RECIST version 1.1; Patients with measurable tumour lesions at baseline, Target-lesions: at least a 20% increase in the sum of diameters of target lesions, the sum of diameters must also demonstrate an absolute increase of at least 5 mm,taking as reference the smallest sum on study, or appearance of 1 or more new lesions. Non-target lesions: unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions or appearance of 1 or more new lesions Patients with non-measurable tumour lesions at baseline, Non-target lesions: requires unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions or appearance of 1 or more new lesions
Time frame: From randomization until disease progression, death or study discontinuation; Up to 213 weeks
Overall Survival (OS)
OS is defined as time from randomisation to death irrespective of the cause of the death.
Time frame: From randomization until death or study discontinuation; Up to 213 weeks
Best Overall Response
Best overall response (BOR) is defined as the best response recorded at any time from the date of randomisation until the end of treatment. Missing categories signify that no tumour imaging has been performed post baseline, and therefore the response status could not be assessed.
Time frame: time from the date of randomisation until study completion/discontinuation; Up to 213 weeks
Biological Tumour Response Based on Serum Cancer Antigen 125 (CA-125) According to the Gynaecologic Cancer Intergroup (GCIG) Criteria
Patients were to have a pre-treatment CA-125 of at least twice the upper limit of normal to be considered for CA-125 response. Patients were not evaluable by CA-125 if they had received mouse antibodies or if they had undergone medical and/or surgical interference with their peritoneum or pleura during the previous 28 days. In eligible patients, a CA-125 response was defined as the moment the CA- 25 was reduced by 50%, with this being confirmed with a consecutive CA-125 assessment not earlier than 28 days after the previous one. Biological response rate based on serum CA-125 levels was assessed according to the guidelines by the Gynaecologic Cancer Intergroup. Monitoring of blood levels of the tumour marker CA-125 was performed at screening and every 6 weeks thereafter.
Time frame: At screening and every 6 weeks thereafter (Up to 213 weeks)
Biological Progression-free Survival Based on Serum Cancer Antigen 125 (CA-125) According to the Gynaecologic Cancer Intergroup (GCIG) Criteria
Biological PFS including assessment of CA-125 levels was defined as the time from randomisation until the first occurrence of progressive disease according to CA-125, progressive disease according to radiological evidence, or death. Also according to the below criterias, * In patients with radiological measurable disease, disease progression during study treatment could not be declared on the basis of CA-125 alone. * Patients with elevated CA-125 pre-treatment and normalization of CA-125 had to show evidence of CA-125 ≥ to two times the upper normal limit on two occasions at least one week apart or * Patients with elevated CA-125 pre-treatment, which never normalized, had to show evidence of CA-125 ≥ to two times the nadir value on two occasions at least one week apart or * Patients with CA-125 in the normal range pre-treatment had to show evidence of CA-125 ≥ to two times the upper normal limit on two occasions at least one week apart.
Time frame: At screening and every 6 weeks thereafter (Up to 213 weeks )
