Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

A randomized study of chemotherapy versus hormonal treatment in patients with ovarian cancer resistant or refractory to platinum and taxane.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Patients with platinum-resistant invasive epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube or peritoneal cancer will be randomized 1:2 to either hormonal treatment with Tamoxifen 40 mg daily or chemotherapy of investigator's choice (weekly paclitaxel given as an 1 hour infusion of paclitaxel 80 mg/m2 or pegylated liposomal doxorubicin 40 mg/m2 given every 4 weeks).
