BACKGROUND: Outcomes with and without bevacizumab as first-line chemotherapy in Japanese-only ovarian cancer patients have not been reported. In this study, we report a retrospective study conducted at the Tohoku Gynecologic Cancer Unit. PATIENTS AND METHODS: The study included 453 patients with stage III/IV ovarian, fallopian tube, and primary peritoneal cancer who received first-line platinum-based chemotherapy. The patients were divided into two groups: bevacizumab (168 patients) and without bevacizumab (285 patients). The primary endpoint was the rate of platinum-resistant recurrence and the secondary endpoints were the antitumor response, progression-free survival, overall survival, and adverse events. RESULTS: The objective response rates for patients with measurable diseases treated with and without bevacizumab were 84.5% and 73.0%, respectively (P = 0.0066). Platinum-resistant recurrence in the groups treated with and without bevacizumab was noted in 31 (18.4%) and 111 (38.6%) patients, respectively (P < 0.0001). The median progression-free survival for the bevacizumab and without bevacizumab groups was 23 and 15 months, respectively (P = 0.0002), and the median overall survival was not reached and 49 months, respectively (P = 0.0005). Hypertension of grade 3 or higher was observed in 21 patients (12.5%) in the bevacizumab group (P < 0.001), and proteinuria was observed in 18 patients (10.7%) and 1 patient (0.3%) in the bevacizumab and without bevacizumab groups, respectively (P < 0.001). Intestinal perforation was observed in only one patient (0.6%) in the bevacizumab group. CONCLUSION: Combination and maintenance with bevacizumab in primary chemotherapy for advanced ovarian, fallopian tube, and primary peritoneal cancer was effective in reducing platinum-resistant recurrence rates and prolonging progression-free and overall survival.
