This prospective non-interventional study is intended to generate new data and insights into first-line (1L) treatment of newly diagnosed advanced high-grade epithelial Ovarian cancer (OC) in Germany relevant for patients, physicians and payers. It will capture the influence of 1L Poly ADP ribose polymerase inhibitor (PARPi) maintenance treatment (MTX) on medical routine in Germany, especially on: * outcome of the 3-steps 1L treatment phase (including surgery, Chemotherapy (CTX) and MTX) including the potential of patients with primary advanced OC to be cured, * patient's follow-up (FU) during and after MTX therapy, * patient-reported outcomes (PROs), experiences and needs, * physician's experience, * BRCA/HRD and genomic scar testing behavior at diagnosis/during 1L therapy, * patient selection for different 1L systemic treatment approaches, * use and safety of drugs, * treatment sequence in case of recurrence

progression-free survival (PFS)
The primary outcome is progression-free survival (PFS) defined as time from 1st dose of 1L platinum-based CTX to disease progression (investigator-assessed according to clinical routine) or death of any cause. Methods and intervals for tumor assessments are at the discretion of the treating physician. Details on progression incl. the procedure used to confirm progression (e.g. symptoms, ultrasound, x-ray, CT, MRI) will be captured in the eCRF.
Time frame: date of 1st dose of 1L platinum-based CTX to disease progression (investigator-assessed according to clinical routine) or death of any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 84 months
Recurrence-free survival (RFS)
Recurrence-free survival (RFS) is time from 1st dose of 1L platinum-based CTX to disease recurrence (investigator-assessed according to clinical routine) or death of any cause defined as in patients with no evidence of disease (NED) following platinum-based CTX
Time frame: time of 1st dose of 1L platinum-based CTX to disease progression (investigator-assessed according to clinical routine) or death of any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 84 months
Progression-/recurrence-free survival rate
Progression-/recurrence-free survival rate is defined as the percentage of patients without disease progression/recurrence alive at 2, 3, 5 and 7 years derived by Kaplan-Meier methods in the full analysis set/subset of patients with NED; Patients within NED subset will be considered as long-term disease-free survivors (potentially cured) if they are disease free for the whole period of 7 years
Time frame: percentage of patients without disease progression/recurrence alive at 2, 3, 5 and 7 years
Time to first subsequent therapy (TFST)
Time to first subsequent therapy (TFST) is defined as time from 1st dose of 1L platinum-based CTX to the 1st dose of subsequent therapy or death of any cause;
Time frame: time from 1st dose of 1L platinum-based CTX to the 1st dose of subsequent therapy or death of any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 84 months
Second progression-free survival (PFS2)
Second progression-free survival (PFS2) is defined as time from 1st dose of 1L platinum-based CTX to second disease progression (investigator-assessed according to clinical routine) or death of any cause. Methods and intervals of tumor assessments are at the discretion of the treating physician and will be recorded in the eCRF
Time frame: time from 1st dose of 1L platinum-based CTX to second disease progression (investigator-assessed according to clinical routine) or death of any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 84 months
Time to second subsequent therapy (TSST)
Time to second subsequent therapy (TSST) as time from 1st dose of 1L platinum-based CTX to the 1st dose of second subsequent therapy or death of any cause
Time frame: time from 1st dose of 1L platinum-based CTX to the 1st dose of second subsequent therapy or death of any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 84 months
3rd, 4th, 5th ff. progression-free survival (PFSx = PFS3, 4, 5 ff.)
3rd, 4th, 5th ff. progression-free survival (PFSx = PFS3, 4, 5 ff.) is defined as time from 1st dose of 1L platinum-based CTX to 3rd, 4th, 5th and later disease progression \[investigator-assessed according to clinical routine\] or death of any cause). Methods and intervals of tumor assessments are at the discretion of the treating physician and will be recorded in the eCRF
Time frame: time from 1st dose of 1L platinum-based CTX to 3rd, 4th, 5th and later disease progression [investigator-assessed according to clinical routine] or death of any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 84 months
Time to 3rd, 4th, 5th and later subsequent therapy (TST 3rd, 4th, 5th ff.)
Time to 3rd, 4th, 5th and later subsequent therapy (TST 3rd, 4th, 5th ff.) is defined as time from 1st dose of 1L platinum-based CTX to the 1st dose of 3rd, 4th, 5th and later subsequent therapy or death of any cause
Time frame: defined as time from 1st dose of 1L platinum-based CTX to the 1st dose of 3rd, 4th, 5th and later subsequent therapy or death of any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 84 months
Overall survival (OS)
Overall survival (OS) is defined as time from 1st dose of 1L platinum-based CTX to death of any cause
Time frame: time from 1st dose of 1L platinum-based CTX to death of any cause, assessed up to 84 months
Patient-reported health-related quality of life (HRQoL) - EQ-5D questionnaire
The EQ-5D is a standardized measure of health status applicable to a wide range of health conditions and treatments designed by the EuroQoL Group (EQ). It consists of the EQ-5D descriptive system, which comprises 5 dimensions (mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression) with each dimension having 5 levels (5L), and the EQ visual analogue scale (EQ VAS).
Time frame: during observation period of the study: primary therapy/maintenance, recurrence/progression, subsequent treatments, up to 84 months
Patient-reported health-related quality of life (HRQoL) - FACT-O questionnaire
Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Ovarian Cancer (FACT-O) Quality of life of women with OC is assessed by means of the FACT-O questionnaire. It contains questions addressing the most frequent problems of cancer patients: physical well-being, social/family well-being, emotional well-being, functional well-being, as well as additional concerns specific to OC (such as female-specific concerns and abdominal problems)
Time frame: during observation period of the study: primary therapy/maintenance, recurrence/progression, subsequent treatments, up to 84 months
Patient-reported health-related quality of life (HRQoL) - MOSTv2 questionnaire
Measure of Ovarian Symptoms and Treatment concerns Version 2 (MOSTv2) The MOST quantifies patient-reported symptom burden, adverse effects, and symptom benefit in OC patients. MOSTv2 has 24 items and five multi-item scales: abdominal symptoms (MOST-Abdo), disease or treatment-related symptoms (MOST-DorT), chemotherapy-related symptoms (MOST-Chemo), psychological symptoms (MOST-Psych), and MOST-Well-being
Time frame: during observation period of the study: primary therapy/maintenance, recurrence/progression, subsequent treatments, up to 84 months
Patient-reported health-related quality of life (HRQoL) - PGI-S questionnaire
Patient global impression of severity of cancer symptoms (PGI-S) is a one-item scale to assess a patient's impression of disease severity on a four-point scale from normal to severe.
Time frame: during observation period of the study: primary therapy/maintenance, recurrence/progression, subsequent treatments, up to 84 months
