Efficacy

Pac/PLD/Top+Bev vs Pac/PLD/Top:

ORR: 28.2 vs 12.5% (p=0.001)
PFS: 6.7 vs 3.4 months, HR: 0.46 (0.37-0.58, p<0.0001)
OS: 16.6 vs 13.3 months, HR: 0.83 (0.66–1.06; p=0.14)

Exploratory analysis Pac/PLD/Top:
Pac (weekly, on day 1, 8, 15, 22 of every 4 weeks) (n=115):
ORR: 53.3 vs 30.2%, PFS: 10.4 vs 3.9 months, HR: 0.46 (0.30-0.71); OS: 22.4 vs 13.2 months, HR: 0.65 (0.42-1.02)
PLD (day 1 every four weeks) (n=126):
ORR: 13.7 vs 7.8%, PFS: 5.4 vs 3.5 months, HR: 0.57 (0.39–0.83); OS: 13.7 vs 14.1 months, HR: 0.91 (0.62-1.36)
Top (weekly, on days 1, 8, 15 every four weeks or days 1-5 every 3 weeks) (n=120):
ORR: 17.0 vs 0.0%, PFS: 5.8 vs 2.1 months, HR: 0.32 (0.21-0.49); OS: 13.8 vs 13.3 months, HR: 1.09 (0.72-1.67)

Clinically Significant Adverse Events

Pac/PLD/Top+Bev vs Pac/PLD/Top:
Serious AE: GI perforation (1.7% vs 1 pt), fistula/abscess (2.2% vs 0), arterial thromboembolic event (1.7% vs 1 pt)
Grade 2-4 AE: GI perforation (2.2% vs 0), hypertension (20 vs 7%)

Conclusion

Improved ORR and PFS with addition of Bevacizumab (most evident with Paclitaxel); No OS benefit
