结局指标
主要结局

时间窗: At the beginning of Cycle 3 (each cycle is 21 days)".
Score of the QoL dimension relating to digestive symptoms according to the EORTC QLQ-OV28 self-questionnaire
次要结局
- The evolution of heart rate variability (HRV) during chemotherapy between the 2 groups of patients(Measured at inclusion and on day 1 of each course before chemotherapy infusion)
- The safety profile(During chemotherapy (6 cycles, each cycle is 21 days), so up to 5 months after inclusion)
- The compliance with the use of the device(During chemotherapy (6 cycles, each cycle is 21 days), so up to 5 months after inclusion)
- - The evolution of markers of inflammation (NLR, CRP, Albumin) during chemotherapy(At inclusion and during cycles 3 and 6 of chemotherapy (each cycle is 21 days))
- Quality of life during chemotherapy(At inclusion, at courses 3 and 6 of chemotherapy (each cycle is 21 days))
- The dose-intensity of chemotherapy in first-line treatment(During chemotherapy (6 cycles, each cycle is 21 days), so up to 5 months after inclusion)
- The progression-free survival(From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 60 months)
