Brief Summary
This randomized, open-label, 2-arm study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of Avastin added to chemotherapy versus chemotherapy alone in patients with epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube or primary peritoneal cancer with disease progression within 6 months of platinum therapy. All patients will receive standard chemotherapy with either paclitaxel or topotecan or liposomal doxorubicin. Patients randomized to Arm 2 of the study will receive Avastin (10 mg/kg iv 2-weekly or 15 mg/kg iv 3-weekly) concomitantly. Anticipated time on study treatment is until disease progression. Patients will then receive standard of care, those in Arm 1 (chemotherapy only) may opt to receive Avastin (15 mg/kg iv 3-weekly). Target sample size is 100-500 individuals.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (2)
Percentage of Participants With Disease Progression or Death (Data Cutoff 14 November 2011)
Progression free survival was defined as the time from the date of randomization to the first documented disease progression or death, whichever occurs first. Progression was based on tumour assessment made by the investigators according to the Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) criteria (for participants with measurable disease), and for those with non-measurable disease presence or absence of lesions was noted.
Screening Visit, Every 8 weeks (or 9 weeks if receiving topotecan) until progression reported between day of first participant randomized (29 October 2009) until cutoff date of 14 November 2011
Progression Free Survival (PFS; Data Cutoff 14 November 2011)
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 (for participants with measurable disease), and for those with non-measurable disease presence or absence of lesions was noted. Time from randomization to occurrence of disease progression or death was measured in months. An event was defined as the earliest progressive disease or death that occurred on or before the cutoff date (14 November 2011), regardless of start of nonprotocol specified anti-cancer therapy or the bevacizumab monotherapy. Disease progression was assessed by investigator according to RECIST or by symptom deterioration, and could not be declared on the basis of rising cancer antigen 125 (CA125) levels alone. Kaplan-Meier methodology was used. 95% CI for median was computed using the method of Brookmeyer and Crowley.
Screening Visit, Every 8 weeks (or 9 weeks if receiving topotecan) until progression reported between day of first participant randomized (29 October 2009) until cutoff date of 14 November 2011
Secondary Outcomes (5)
Percentage of Participants With Best Overall Confirmed Objective Response of Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR) Per Modified RECIST (Data Cutoff 14 November 2011)
Screening Visit, Every 8 weeks (or 9 weeks if receiving topotecan) until progression reported between day of first participant randomized (29 October 2009) until cutoff date of 14 November 2011
Duration of Objective Response (Data Cutoff 14 November 2011)
Screening Visit, Every 8 weeks (or 9 weeks if receiving topotecan) until progression reported between day of first participant randomized (29 October 2009) until cutoff date of 14 November 2011
Percentage of Participants Who Died (Data Cutoff 25 January 2013)
Screening Visit, Every 8 weeks (or 9 weeks if receiving topotecan) until progression reported between day of first participant randomized (29 October 2009) until cutoff date of 25 January 2013
Overall Survival (Data Cutoff 25 January 2013)
Screening Visit, Every 8 weeks (or 9 weeks if receiving topotecan) until progression reported between day of first participant randomized (29 October 2009) until cutoff date of 25 January 2013

Study Arms (2)
Chemotherapy
ACTIVE COMPARATORParticipants received one of the following chemotherapies at the discretion of the investigator: paclitaxel, 80 milligrams per square meter (mg/m\^2) as a 1-hour intravenous (IV) infusion on Days 1, 8, 15, and 22 every 4 weeks (q4w) OR topotecan 4 mg/m\^2 as a 30-minute IV infusion on Days 1, 8, and 15 q4w (alternatively, a 1.25 mg/m\^2 dose could have been administered over 30 minutes on Days 1-5 every 3 weeks \[q3w\]) OR pegylated liposomal doxorubicin (PLD) 40 mg/m\^2 as a 1 milligram per minute (mg/min) infusion on Day 1 q4w (after Cycle 1 the drug could have been administered as a 1 hour infusion). Depending on chosen chemotherapy, pre-medication was implemented according to local practices.
Chemotherapy + Bevacizumab
EXPERIMENTALParticipants received one of the following chemotherapies at the discretion of the investigator: paclitaxel, 80 mg/m\^2 as a 1-hour IV infusion on Days 1, 8, 15, and 22 q4w OR topotecan 4 mg/m\^2 as a 30-minute IV infusion on Days 1, 8, and 15 q4w (alternatively, a 1.25 mg/m\^2 dose could have been administered over 30 minutes on Days 1-5 q3w) OR PLD 40 mg/m\^2 as a 1 mg/min infusion on Day 1 q4w (after Cycle 1 the drug could have been administered as a 1 hour infusion. Depending on chosen chemotherapy, pre-medication was implemented according to local practices. The chosen chemotherapy was combined with bevacizumab 10 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg) IV every 2 weeks (q2w; or bevacizumab 15 mg/kg q3w if used in combination with topotecan 1.25 mg/m\^2 on Days 1-5 on a q3w schedule). The initial bevacizumab infusion was over 90 minutes, with subsequent infusions over 60 minutes and then 30 minutes, as tolerated.
Interventions
10m/kg iv every 2 weeks or 15mg/kg iv every 3 weeks
80mg/m2 iv on days 1, 8, 15 and 22 of each 4-week cycle
4mg/m2 iv on days 1, 8 and 15 of each 4-week cycle, or 1.25 mg/kg on days 1-5 of each 3-week cycle
