  Description
Carboplatin and Gemcitabine + Bevacizumab Carboplatin (AUC 4 mg/mL/minute) was administered intravenously (IV) on Day 1 of each of six 21-day treatment cycles. The carboplatin dose was calculated to reach a target area under the curve (AUC) of concentration x time according to the Calvert formula. Gemcitabine 1000 mg/m^2 was administered IV on Days 1 and Day 8 of each of the six 21-day treatment cycles. Bevacizumab 15 mg/kg was administered IV on Day 1 of each of the six 21-day treatment cycles. The bevacizumab dose was based on the patient’s weight at baseline and remained the same throughout the study.
Carboplatin and Gemcitabine + Placebo Carboplatin (AUC 4 mg/mL/minute) was administered intravenously (IV) on Day 1 of each of six 21-day treatment cycles. The carboplatin dose was calculated to reach a target area under the curve (AUC) of concentration x time according to the Calvert formula. Gemcitabine 1000 mg/m^2 was administered IV on Days 1 and Day 8 of each of the six 21-day treatment cycles. Placebo was administered by IV on Day 1 of each of the six 21-day treatment cycles.

Measure Type Secondary
Measure Title Percentage of Patients With an Objective Response as Determined by the Investigator, Per Response Evaluation Criteria for Solid Tumors (RECIST)
Measure Description An objective response was the occurrence of either a partial response (PR) or complete response (CR). PR: At least a 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum longest diameter. CR: The disappearance of all target and non-target lesions. Lesions were assessed by computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or ultrasound every 9 weeks.
Time Frame From randomization through September 17, 2010  
Safety Issue No  

Population Description
Explanation of how the number of participants for analysis was determined. Includes whether analysis was per protocol, intention to treat, or another method. Also provides relevant details such as imputation technique, as appropriate.
Intent-to-treat population: All patients randomized to treatment (242 patients in each treatment group).

Statistical Analysis 1 for Percentage of Patients With an Objective Response as Determined by the Investigator, Per Response Evaluation Criteria for Solid Tumors (RECIST)
Groups [1] All groups
Method [2] Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel
P Value [3] <0.0001
Mean Difference (Final Values) [4] 21.1
95% Confidence Interval ( 13.0 to 29.2 )
[1] Additional details about the analysis, such as null hypothesis and power calculation:
  The null hypothesis was that there was no difference in the percentage of patients with an objective response between the 2 treatment groups. The alternative hypothesis was that a larger percentage of patients had an objective response in the carboplatin and gemcitabine + bevacizumab group.
[2] Other relevant information, such as adjustments or degrees of freedom:
  The analysis was stratified for time since the last platinum therapy (6–12, >12 months) and cytoreductive surgery for recurrent disease (yes, no).
[3] Additional information, such as whether or not the p-value is adjusted for multiple comparisons and the a priori threshold for statistical significance:
  A P-value < 0.05 was required for significance.
[4] Other relevant estimation information:
  The difference in response rates and the 95% confidence intervals for response rates were computed using the normal approximation to the binomial distribution.
