Title

The primary objective of this study is to compare the time to progressive disease in patients treated with gemcitabine plus carboplatin versus carboplatin monotherapy. Patients will have advanced epithelial ovarian cancer and have failed first-line platinum-containing therapy 6 months after treatment discontinuation.
Carboplatin is commonly used for the treatment of ovarian cancer in first- and second-line therapy. The efficacy of gemcitabine in ovarian carcinoma was researched in various Phase 2 studies.
