Many ovarian cancer patients have been offered different standard cytostatics and gradually develop chemo-resistance. However, a considerable fraction of these patients are still in good general health and have a strong wish for further treatment.
Cabazitaxel (Jevtana®) is a new taxane with effect in breast and prostatic cancer. In both tumors it has shown effect in patients refractory to docetaxel. Therefore, it could be anticipated that cabazitaxel may also have an effect in chemo-resistant ovarian cancer.
Tocotrienol is a fraction of the natural E-vitamin with several biological effects, including effect on malignant cells and angiogenesis.
The aim of the study is to investigate whether cabazitaxel and tocotrienol could be reasonable treatment options in patients with chemo-resistant and refractory ovarian cancer with regard to effect and toxicity.
In case of progression on cabazitaxel there is an option of crossing over to tocotrienol and vice versa.

| Arm | Intervention/treatment |
|---|---|
|
Experimental: Cabazitaxel
25 mg/m2 administered as a one hour intravenous infusion on day 1 of a 3-week cycle. Treatment continues until progression or unacceptable toxicity. On progression there is an option of crossing over to tocotrienol. |
Drug: Cabazitaxel
Other Name: Jevtana |
|
Experimental: Tocotrienol
900 mg (300 mg x 3 every day) until progression or unacceptable toxicity. On progression there is an option of crossing over to cabazitaxel. |
Drug: Tocotrienol |
- Number of patients alive and without progression after three months of treatment with cabazitaxel or tocotrienol. [ Time Frame: 3 months after start of treatment ]
- Response rate [ Time Frame: Every 9 weeks from date of randomization until the date of first documented progression or date of death of any cause, whichever came first. Assessed up to 24 months ]
- Progression free survival [ Time Frame: Every 9 weeks from date of randomization until the date of first documented progression or date of death of any cause, whichever came first. Assessed up to 24 months ]
- Overall survival [ Time Frame: Every three months up to 24 months ]
