Trial design

CTIS Part I — objectives, methods, condition coding

Main objective

Scope: Therapy, Efficacy, Safety

Determine whether paclitaxel – carboplatin followed by maintenance with niraparib compared to paclitaxel – carboplatin – Bevacizumab followed by maintenance Niraparib + Bevacizumab following a Front-
Line Complete Cytoreductive Surgery improves the progression-free survival rate at 24 months in patients with advance ovarian cancer, primary peritoneal cancer and/or fallopian-tube cancer.

Secondary objectives 7

1. Evaluate Progression Free Survival (PFS)
2. Evaluate Progression Free Survival 2 (PFS2)
3. Evaluate Safety (assessed based on CTCAE version 5)
4. Evaluate Time to First Subsequent Treatment (TFST)
5. Evaluate Time to Second Subsequent Treatment (TSST)
6. Evaluate Overall Survival (OS) at 5 years
7. Confirm the predictive value (overall chemo-sensitivity) of the KELIM (CA-125 Elimination rate constant K)

Conditions and MedDRA coding
