Group Intervention Description Carboplatin and gemcitabine + placebo 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. Carboplatin and gemcitabine + bevacizumab Carboplatin 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 + bevacizumab 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 Carboplatin (AUC 4 mg/mL/minute) was administered intravenously (IV) on Day 1 of each of six 21-day treatment cycles.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Progression Free Survival (PFS) as Determined by the Investigator, Per Response Evaluation Criteria for Solid Tumors (RECIST) From randomization through September 17, 2010 (up to 3 years, 5 months) PFS was defined as the time from randomization to disease progression (PD), as determined by the investigator, or death due to any cause. PD: At least a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum longest diameter recorded since treatment started; the appearance of 1 or more new lesions; and/or the unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions. Lesions were assessed by computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or ultrasound every 9 weeks.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Overall Survival From randomization through July 19, 2013 (up to 6 years, 3 months) Overall survival was defined as the time from randomization to death from any cause.
Duration of Objective Response (OR) as Determined by the Investigator, Per Response Evaluation Criteria for Solid Tumors (RECIST) From randomization through September 17, 2010 (up to 3 years, 5 months) Duration of OR was analyzed in the subset of patients who achieved an OR. The duration of OR was defined as the time from the initial CR or PR until documented PD or death. Lesions were assessed by computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or ultrasound every 9 weeks.
Percentage of Patients Who Had at Least 1 Adverse Event From randomization through July 19, 2013 (up to 6 years, 3 months) Percentage of Patients Who Had a Gastrointestinal Perforation (GIP) From randomization through September 17, 2010 (up to 3 years, 5 months) A gastrointestinal perforation is a hole that develops through the entire wall of the stomach, small intestine, large bowel, or gallbladder.
Percentage of Patients With an Objective Response as Determined by the Investigator, Per Response Evaluation Criteria for Solid Tumors (RECIST) From randomization through September 17, 2010 (up to 3 years, 5 months) 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.
