Measure
Bevacizumab + Paclitaxel + Carboplatin
Participants received 6-8 (at the investigator's discretion) 3-week cycles of bevacizumab 7.5 milligrams per kilograms (mg/kg) intravenously (IV) on Day 1 of each cycle, paclitaxel 80 milligrams per square meters of body surface (mg/m\^2) IV on Days 1, 8, and 15 of each cycle, and carboplatin IV to an area under the curve (AUC) of 6 on Day 1 of each cycle. The initial dose of carboplatin was calculated according to the Calvert formula (milligrams \[mg\] equals \[=\] \[glomerular filtration rate (GFR) + 25\] x 6). Following the initial treatment (bevacizumab + paclitaxel + carboplatin) period, participants received additional 3-week cycles of monotherapy bevacizumab 7.5 mg/kg IV during the maintenance treatment period. The total maximum bevacizumab treatment duration was 17 cycles, (12 months) which included both the initial treatment period and the bevacizumab monotherapy maintenance treatment period.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline to the data cut-off date of 19 Jul 2012 for analysis of the primary Outcome Measure (follow-up time up to 3 years, 1 month)

Population: Intent-to-treat population: All enrolled participants who received at least 1 dose of any study medication (bevacizumab, carboplatin, or paclitaxel).

An objective response was defined as either a complete response (CR) or a partial response (PR). Using the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST), a CR was defined as the disappearance of all target lesions and all non-target lesions, normalization of tumor marker level, and no new lesions and a PR was defined as the disappearance of all target lesions and persistence of ≥ 1 non-target lesions and/or the maintenance of tumor marker level above the normal limits, or, at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, and no new lesions or unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions. Only participants with measurable disease were included in the analysis according to RECIST only. Only participants with a Baseline ovarian cancer mucin CA-125 level ≥ 2 times the upper limit of normal who had a ≥ 50% reduction of CA-125 from Baseline were included in the analysis according to CA-125 level.

Duration of response was defined as the interval between the date of the first documented response by RECIST to the date of first disease progression or death, whichever occurred earlier. Disease progression was defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum longest diameter recorded since treatment started or the appearance of 1 or more new lesions or the appearance of 1 or more new lesions and/or unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions.

Timeframe: Baseline to the data cut-off date of 19 Jul 2012 for analysis of the primary Outcome Measure (follow-up time up to 3 years, 1 month)

Population: Intent-to-treat population: All enrolled participants who received at least 1 dose of any study medication (bevacizumab, carboplatin, or paclitaxel).

Biological progression-free interval is defined as the interval from the date of the first administration of any study treatment to the date of the first documented serial elevation of the ovarian cancer mucin CA-125. More precisely, this is defined as the first documented increase in CA-125 levels as follows: (1) CA-125 greater than or equal to 2 times the upper level of normal (ULN) on 2 occasions at least 1 week apart (for patients with CA-125 within normal range pre-treatment) or (2) CA-125 greater than or equal to 2 times the ULN on 2 occasions at least 1 week apart (for patients with elevated CA-125 pre-treatment and initial normalisation of CA-125 on-treatment) or (3) CA-125 greater than or equal to 2 times the nadir value, which is the lowest observed CA-125 value per patient on 2 occasions at least 1 week apart (for patients with elevated CA-125 pre-treatment which never normalised).

Participants received 6-8 (at the investigator's discretion) 3-week cycles of bevacizumab 7.5 mg/kg intravenously (iv) on Day 1 of each cycle, paclitaxel 80 mg/m\^2 iv on Days 1, 8, and 15 of each cycle, and carboplatin iv to an area under the curve of 6 on Day 1 of each cycle. The initial dose of carboplatin was calculated according to the Calvert formula (mg = \[glomerular filtration rate + 25\] x 6). Following the combination treatments, participants received up to 17 3-week cycles of bevacizumab 7.5 mg/g iv alone. Bevacizumab: Bevacizumab was supplied as a sterile solution for infusion. Paclitaxel: Paclitaxel was supplied locally in commercial batches. Carboplatin: Carboplatin was supplied locally in commercial batches.
