3. Patients must have platinum-resistant disease:

1. Patients must have had a response (CR or PR) after previous 1 line of platinum-based therapy for at least 4 cycles of treatment, and then progressed between > 3 months and ≤ 6 months after the date for last dose of platinum.

2. Patients who relapsed after > 6 months since the last platinum-based treatment with at least 4 cycles of one line platinum-based therapy: 1) continued to receive at least 4 cycles of 2 or 3 lines of platinum-based treatment and must have had PD within 6 months from the last dose of platinum; or 2) had PD during treatment with 2 or 3 lines of platinum-containing chemotherapy.

Note: PD should be calculated from the date of the last dose of platinum-containing therapy to the date of PD indicated by radiographic imaging.

Note: Patients who are platinum-refractory during 1 line treatment are excluded (see exclusion criterion 3).

4. Patients must have radiological PD on or after the most recent anti-cancer therapy.

13. Patients must have adequate hematologic, hepatic, and renal functions as defined by the following parameters (without G-CSF [a 20-day drug washout period for long-acting growth factors], human albumin injection and other corrective treatment drugs are not allowed within 14 days before obtaining laboratory test values):

1. Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1.5 × 10^9/L (1,500 μL);

4. Serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 × upper limit of normal (ULN);

5. Both aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≤ 3.0 × ULN;

6. Serum bilirubin ≤ 1.5 × ULN (patients with Gilbert syndrome may be enrolled if total bilirubin is < 3.0 × ULN);

7. Serum albumin ≥ 2 g/dL.

14. Patients or their legally authorized representatives must be willing and able to sign the ICF and comply with the requirements of the protocol.

15. Women of child bearing potential (WCBP), defined as a sexually mature woman who have not undergone surgical sterilization or who have not been naturally postmenopausal for at least 12 consecutive months (ie, who have had menses any time in the preceding 12 consecutive months) must agree to use effective contraceptive methods; examples included oral, parenteral, or implantable hormonal contraceptive, intrauterine device, barrier contraceptive with spermicide, partner's latex condom or vasectomy) while on study treatment and for at least 12 weeks after the last dose of investigational drug.
