A Phase I Study of Continuous, Concomitant Oral Treatment With BIBF 1120 and Docetaxel - a Phase I, Open-label, Dose-escalation Study in Japanese Patients With Stage IIIB/IV or Recurrent Non-small-cell Lung Cancer After Failure of Chemotherapy

18. Patients with difficulty in swallowing study medication
19. Patients with positive HBs antigen, HCV antibody, or HIV antibody test
20. Serious illness or concomitant non-oncological disease such as neurologic-, psychiatric-, infectious disease or active ulcers (gastro-intestinal tract, skin) or laboratory abnormality that may increase the risk associated with trial participation or investigational drug administration and in the judgment of the investigator would make the patient inappropriate for entry into the trial.
21. Patients who are sexually active and unwilling to use a medically acceptable method of contraception (e.g. such as implants, injectables, combined oral contraceptives, some intrauterine devices or vasectomized partner for participating females, condoms for participating males) during the trial and for at least 12 months after end of active therapy
22. Female patients who are pregnant, breast feeding and may become pregnant.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Number of Participants Who Experienced Dose Limited Toxicity in Combination Therapy of Nintedanib and Docetaxel	Number of participants experienced Dose Limited Toxicity (DLT) in combination therapy of nintedanib and docetaxel. Maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of nintedanib combination with docetaxel were to be determined separately in the patient groups of body surface area (BSA) <1.5 m2 and BSA ≥1.5 m2. The MTD were to be determined as a combination of a dose equal to or less than 200 mg b.i.d. of nintedanib and 60 mg/m2 and 75 mg/m2 every 3 weeks of docetaxel at which either 0 out of 3, 1 out of 6, or 2 out of 6 patients experienced DLT.	During the first treatment course, up to 3 weeks
Adverse Events According to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE), Version 3.0 for All Courses	Number of participants with adverse events according to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE), version 3.0 for all courses. The CTCAE grades are: 1 (mild AE), 2 (moderate AE), 3 (severe AE), 4 (life-threatening or disabling AE), 5 (death related to AE).	Between the first administration of docetaxel and 28 days after last administration of docetaxel and/or nintedanib, up to 1367 days
