Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Drugs - Carboplatin
Treatment: Drugs - PLD
Other interventions - Bevacizumab

No Intervention: Control Arm - Patients receive bevacizumab 15 mg/kg iv on day 1 followed by gemcitabine 1000mg/m² iv on day 1 & 8 and carboplatin AUC4 iv on day 1 every 3 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.

Experimental: Research Arm - Patients 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.
