Brief Summary
This study was designed to characterize the effect of aflibercept in participants with advanced chemoresistant ovarian cancer. Primary objective: Compare the effect of aflibercept (ziv-aflibercept, AVE0005, VEGF trap, ZALTRAP®) to placebo treatment on repeat paracentesis in symptomatic malignant ascites in participants with advanced ovarian cancer Secondary objectives: Safety, tolerability, paracentesis-related parameters, participant-reported outcome.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Time to Repeat Paracentesis (TRP)
TRP was defined as the number of days between the date of randomization and the date of the first post-randomization paracentesis. For participants who did not undergo a postrandomization paracentesis on study, TRP was calculated from randomization to the end of the double-blind treatment period.
From Day 1 up to 6 months from randomization
Secondary Outcomes (3)
Area Under the Curve (AUC) for Participant Assessed Ascites Impact Measure (AIM)
From Day 1 up to 60 days from randomization to the first postrandomization paracentesis
60-Day Frequency of Paracentesis (FOP)
From Day 1 up to 60 days from randomization
Plasma Levels of Free and VEGF-bound Aflibercept
Following every biweekly treatment administration up to 60 days after treatment discontinuation
Study Arms (2)
Placebo
PLACEBO COMPARATORParticipants with advanced ovarian cancer administered placebo in the double-blind (DB) period. In the open-label (OL) period, participants had the option to receive aflibercept or be withdrawn from the study.
Aflibercept
EXPERIMENTALParticipants with advanced ovarian cancer administered aflibercept in the double-blind (DB) period. In the open-label (OL) period, participants had the option to continue to receive aflibercept or be withdrawn from the study.
Interventions
4.0 mg/kg aflibercept was administered intravenously (IV) over 1 hour once every 2 weeks in the DB period.
Placebo was administered intravenously (IV) over 1 hour once every 2 weeks in the DB period.
