Efficacy

CarboPt+Pac+Bev w/ Bev maint vs CarboPt+Pac:

All:
PFS: 19.9 vs 17.5 months, HR: 0.93 (0.83-1.05, p=0.25)
OS: 45.5 vs 44.6 months (p=0.85, restricted mean survival)

Exploratory analysis in high risk patients; CA125 KELIM score:
CarboPt+Pac+Bev w/ Bev maint vs CarboPt+Pac:
high risk: PFS: 16.0 vs 10.5 months, HR: 0.73 (0.61-0.88, p= 0.001); OS: 39.3 vs 34.5 months (p=0.03, restricted mean survival)
high risk KEL unfav: OS: 29.7 vs 20.6 months, HR: 0.78 (0.58-1.04)
high risk KEL fav: OS: 48.2 vs 46.6 months, HR: 0.93 (0.65-1.34)
low risk KEL unfav: OS: 52.8 vs 49.8 months, HR: 1.05 (0.78-1.42)
low risk KEL fav: OS: 65.0 vs 62.8 months, HR: 1.18 (0.87-1.58)

Clinically Significant Adverse Events

CarboPt+Pac+Bev w/ Bev maint vs CarboPt+Pac:
Serious AE: GI perforation (1% vs <1%), CNS bleeding (<1% vs 0)
Grade 3-4 AE: hypertension (6% vs <1%)

Conclusion

PFS and OS advantage only in high risk patients
