GroupInterventionDescription
Research ArmPLDPatients receive bevacizumab 10 mg/kg iv on day 1 \& 15 followed by PLD 30mg/m² iv on day 1 carboplatin AUC4 iv on day 1 every 4 weeks for up to 6 cycles in the absence of progression disease or unacceptable toxicities. Patients then continue to receive bevacizumab 15 mg/kg iv every 3 weeks until progression disease or unacceptable toxicities.

Patients then continue to receive bevacizumab 15 mg/kg iv every 3 weeks until progression disease or unacceptable toxicities.
Research ArmCarboplatinPatients receive bevacizumab 10 mg/kg iv on day 1 \& 15 followed by PLD 30mg/m² iv on day 1 carboplatin AUC4 iv on day 1 every 4 weeks for up to 6 cycles in the absence of progression disease or unacceptable toxicities. Patients then continue to receive bevacizumab 15 mg/kg iv every 3 weeks until progression disease or unacceptable toxicities.
