  1. ASA404-CP=ASA404 combined with carboplatin and paclitaxel; CP=carboplatin and paclitaxel.
  2. aTumour response could not be evaluated in 11 eligible patients by independent assessment due to: patient death before second tumour assessment (n=3); patient withdrawal before second tumour assessment (n=3); disease progression after cycle 1 and no subsequent scans available (n=2); no target lesion present (n=2); or no baseline scan available (n=1).
