According to the results reported on ClinicalTrials.gov, this trial enrolled 84 people in total — 44 received a medicine called nintedanib and 40 received a placebo (a dummy treatment with no active ingredient). The trial was measuring "progression-free survival" (PFS) — that is, the estimated chance that a participant's cancer had not grown or spread by certain points in time. The main goal was to look at this figure at 36 weeks (roughly 9 months) after starting treatment. The reported data shows that at 36 weeks, the estimated probability of being progression-free was 15.6% in the nintedanib group compared with 2.9% in the placebo group. At earlier time points, the reported figures were closer together: at 12 weeks the probabilities were 45.3% (nintedanib) and 46.2% (placebo), and at 24 weeks they were 26.7% (nintedanib) and 17.3% (placebo). When looking at how long it took for the cancer to progress — measured in days using scan-based assessments, a blood marker called CA-125, or a combination of both — the reported median times were similar across both groups, ranging from roughly 83 to 86 days for the scan and blood-marker measures, with a longer figure of 143 days (nintedanib) versus 85 days (placebo) for the combined measure. No deaths were recorded during the trial, so no time-to-death figures were reported. The trial also collected information about side effects and abnormal laboratory results, though the full breakdown of those categories was not labelled in the submitted data in a way that allows each number to be matched to a specific event.

  • Less than 12 months have passed since you started your most recent chemotherapy for your returned cancer.
  • You have fully recovered, or recovered as much as possible, from the side effects of any previous chemotherapy or radiation treatment.

Who may not be able to join

Each point below is a reason the trial team may not be able to accept someone. It is not a list of requirements to meet.

  • You have a serious illness or condition unrelated to cancer, such as a neurological, psychiatric, or infectious disease, active skin or stomach ulcers, or abnormal lab results that could make participation risky.
  • You have had major surgery or a serious injury in the past 4 weeks and have not fully healed, or you are planning to have surgery during the study.
  • You have had an allergic reaction to the study drug (BIBF 1120) or any of its ingredients before.
  • You have significant heart or blood pressure problems, such as uncontrolled high blood pressure, unstable chest pain, a heart attack in the past 9 months, or moderate-to-severe heart failure.
  • You have had a serious bleeding event or a blood clot in the past 12 months, or you have an inherited condition that increases your risk of bleeding or clotting.
  • You currently need to take full-dose blood-thinning (anticoagulant) medication.
  • You have a stomach or bowel condition that would prevent you from properly absorbing the study drug.
  • Your cancer has spread to your brain or the lining around your brain or spinal cord.
  • You have taken part in another clinical trial or received an experimental drug within the past 4 weeks, or are currently doing so.
  • You have received chemotherapy, radiation, or immunotherapy within the past 4 weeks.
  • You are unable or unwilling to follow the requirements of the study.
  • You currently have an active problem with alcohol or drug misuse.

Expanded access pathways

This trial is not enrolling. Other access pathways exist in general: in Australia, the TGA Special Access Scheme allows access to unapproved therapeutic goods for individual patients. Whether it applies to any treatment studied here is a question for your doctor — nothing on this page says it does.
