FDA approves bevacizumab in combination with chemotherapy for platinum resistant, recurrent ovarian cancer

On 14 November 2014, the USA Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved bevacizumab in combination with paclitaxel, pegylated liposomal doxorubicin, or topotecan for the treatment of patients with platinum resistant, recurrent epithelial ovarian, Fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer.
The approval is based on the results of an international, randomised AURELIA trial. The primary endpoint was investigator-assessed progression-free survival (PFS) in patients treated with bevacizumab plus chemotherapy vs. chemotherapy alone. Read more here.
