Phase Ib Study of Chiauranib in Patients With Ovarian Cancer

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety include adverse events, vital signs, laboratory tests ,etc., of Chiauranib in ovarian cancer patients due to the outcomes of the phase I study, and to explore the relevance between the latent biomarkers of Chiauranib and clinical benefit.
