Adding the blood-vessel blocker bevacizumab to first-line chemotherapy delayed relapse by a few months but did not extend life overall.
GOG-0218 (1,873 patients): PFS 14.1 vs 10.3 months with concurrent-plus-maintenance bevacizumab (HR 0.72); no OS benefit (NEJM 2011). ICON7 (1,528): modest PFS gain, with an OS benefit confined to high-risk (stage IV or suboptimally debulked) disease. Bevacizumab became a first-line option, mainly for high-risk patients and as the partner for olaparib in PAOLA-1.
