Parallel
Treatments tested in this trial
Primary debulking surgery
Procedure/SurgeryPrimary debulking surgery with a maximum cytoreduction, then followed by 6 cycles of Paclitaxel 175mg/m2 or Docetaxel 60-75 mg/m2 plus Carboplatin AUC (area under the curve) 5.
Neoadjuvant chemotherapy
Procedure/Surgery3 cycles of Paclitaxel 175mg/m2 or Docetaxel 60-75 mg/m2 plus Carboplatin AUC (area under the curve) 5, Interval debulking surgery with a maximal cytoreduction of complete gross resection, then followed by another 3 cycles of chemotherapy.
PARP inhibitor
DrugFor patients with BRCA mutated, maintenance therapy of PARP inhibitors following CR/PR after first-line chemotherapy. In this trial, Olaparib 300mg p.o. twice daily is suggested after the front-line therapy.
Bevacizumab
DrugFor patients without BRCA mutated, maintenance therapy of Bevacizumab following CR/PR after first-line chemotherapy. In this trial, Bevacizumab 7.5mg per kilogram intravenous once every 3 weeks is suggested after the front-line therapy.
