Detailed description: Patients with advanced FIGO stage IIIB - IV high grade serous or endometrioid ovarian, fallopian tube, or peritoneal cancer treated with standard first-line treatment, combining platinum-taxane chemotherapy and bevacizumab concurrent with chemotherapy and in maintenance.

  -  high grade serous or
  -  high grade endometrioid or
  -  other epithelial non mucinous ovarian cancer in a patient with germline BRCA 1 or 2 deleterious mutation I-3-3 at an advanced stage: FIGO stage IIIB, IIIC, or IV of the 1988 FIGO classification.
  I-4. Patient who has completed prior to randomization first line platinum-taxane chemotherapy:
  1. Platinum-taxane based regimen must have consisted of a minimum of 6 treatment cycles and a maximum of 9. However if platinum based therapy must be discontinued early as a result of non hematological toxicity specifically related to the platinum regimen, (i.e. neurotoxicity, hypersensitivity etc.), patient must have received a minimum of 4 cycles of the platinum regimen.
  2. Intravenous, intraperitoneal, or neoadjuvant platinum based chemotherapy is allowed; for weekly therapy, three weeks are considered one cycle. Interval debulking is allowed.
  I-5. Patient must have received prior to randomization a minimum of 3 cycles of bevacizumab in combination with the 3 last cycles of platinum-based chemotherapy. Only in case of interval debulking surgery, it is allowed to realize only 2 cycles of bevacizumab in combination with the last 3 cycles of platinium-based chemotherapy. Bevacizumab treatment should be administered at a dose 15mg/kg q3 weeks up to a total of 15 months.
  I-6. Patient must be prior to randomization without evidence of disease (NED) or in complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) from her first line treatment. There should be no clinical evidence of disease progression (physical exam, imagery, CA 125) throughout her first line treatment and prior to study randomization.
  I-7. Patient must be randomized at least 3 weeks and no more than 9 weeks after her last dose of chemotherapy (last dose is the day of the last infusion) and all major toxicities from the previous chemotherapy must have resolved to CTC AE grade 1 or better (except alopecia and peripheral neuropathy).

  6. Serum creatinine ≤ 1.25 x institutional ULN and creatinine clearance > 50 mL/min.
  7. Patient not receiving anticoagulant medication who has an International Normalized Ratio (INR) ≤1.5 and an Activated ProThrombin Time (aPTT) ≤1.5 x ULN.
  The use of full-dose oral or parenteral anticoagulants is permitted as long as the INR or APTT is within therapeutic limits (according to site medical standard). If the patient is on oral anticoagulants, dose has to be stable for at least two weeks at the time of randomization.
  8. Urine dipstick for proteinuria < 2+. If urine dipstick i s ≥2+, 24-hour urine must demonstrate <1 g of protein in 24 hours.
  9. Normal blood pressure or adequately treated and controlled hypertension (systolic BP ≤ 140 mmHg and/or diastolic BP ≤ 90 mmHg).
  I-9. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0-1. I-10. Formalin fixed, paraffin embedded (FFPE) tumor sample from the primary cancer must be available for central BRCA testing and test result must be available for stratification.
  I-11. Postmenopausal or evidence of non-childbearing status for women of childbearing potential prior to the first dose of study treatment. (see appendix 4) I-12. For France only: In France, a subject will be eligible for randomization in this study only if either affiliated to, or a beneficiary of, a social security category.
