Ray-Coquard et al. 2019 (PAOLA-1) 2015-2017 Phase 3 (C) Olaparib & Bevacizumab Inferior PFS

Note: this is a component of a sequential treatment protocol; to our knowledge there are no references to support using it as a stand-alone treatment. The FDA-recommended duration of treatment is 22 cycles (including the 6 cycles of combination chemotherapy).

Preceding treatment

  • Not specified, but presumably platinum doublet & bevacizumab x 6

Targeted therapy

21-day cycle for up to 16 cycles
