This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety profile, response rate, progression free survival, overall survival of bevacizumab (Avastin) added to chemotherapy in patients with epithelial ovarian cancer, fallopian tube carcinoma or primary peritoneal carcinoma with disease progression within 6 months of platinum treatment.

Progression free survival (PFS)
PFS was defined as the time from the date of randomization to the first documented disease progression or death, whichever occurred first. Progression was based on tumor assessment made by the investigators according to the RECIST criteria
Time frame: 36 months
Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events
Safety and tolerability will be assessed in deaths, laboratory data, and vital signs. Number of participants with treatment-related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE version 4.0.
Time frame: 36 months
Response rate
Best Overall Confirmed Objective Response of Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR) by Modified RECIST until progression reported. Objective Response was determined by the investigator using modified RECIST criteria, Version 1.0. An objective response was a complete or partial overall confirmed response as determined by investigators. CR defined as complete disappearance of all target and non-target lesions and no new lesions. PR defined as greater than or equal to (≥) 30 percent (%) decrease in the sum of appropriate diameters of all target measurable lesions, no progress in the non-measurable disease, and no new lesions.
Time frame: 36 months
overall survival (OS)
Duration of overall survival was defined as the time from randomization to death of any cause. The OS data for participants for whom no death was captured in the clinical database were censored at the last time they were known to be alive.
Time frame: 36 months
