12. Women Women of childbearing potential and their partners, who are sexually active, must agree to the use of one highly effective forms of contraception and their partners must use a male condom (as described in Appendix D). This should be started from the signing of the informed consent and continue throughout the period of taking study treatment and for at least 1 month after last dose of study drug

Haemoglobin ≥ 10.0 g/dL with no blood transfusion in the past 28 days; Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1.5 x 109/L; Platelet count ≥ 100 x 109/L; Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x institutional upper limit of normal (ULN); Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (Serum Glutamic Oxaloacetic Transaminase (SGOT)) / Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) (Serum Glutamic Pyruvate Transaminase (SGPT)) ≤ 2.5 x institutional upper limit of normal unless liver metastases are present in which case they must be ≤ 5x ULN

Patients must have creatinine clearance estimated of ≥51 mL/min using the Cockcroft-Gault equation or based on a 24-hour urine test:

• Estimated creatinine clearance = (140-age [years]) x weight (kg) (x F) a

• serum creatinine (mg/dL) x 72 a where F=0.85 for females

14. Willingness and ability to comply with scheduled visits, treatment plan, laboratory tests, and other trial procedures.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Patients have received Bevacizumab in concomitance with first line platinum-based therapy.

2. Clear cell, mucinous and mixed mullerian tumors/carcinosarcoma, non-epithelial tumors or ovarian tumors with low malignant potential (ie. borderline tumors) are not allowed.

3. Received chemotherapy within 14 days to first dose to study drug and / or persistent toxicities (>Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Event (CTCAE) version 5.0 grade 2) caused by previous cancer therapy, excluding alopecia, peripheral neuropathy and related effects of prior chemotherapy that are unlikely to be exacerbated by treatment with study drug.

4. Previous allogenic bone marrow transplant or double umbilical cord blood transplantation (dUCBT).

5. Whole blood transfusions in the last 120 days prior to entry to the study (packed red blood cells and platelet transfusions are acceptable).

6. Breast feeding women.

Patients considered a poor medical risk due to a serious, uncontrolled medical disorder, non-malignant systemic disease or active, uncontrolled infection [Examples include, but are not limited to, uncontrolled ventricular arrhythmia, recent (within 3 months) myocardial infarction, New York Heart Association (NYHA) grade II or greater congestive heart failure, uncontrolled hypertension, severe peripheral vascular disease, uncontrolled major seizure disorder, unstable spinal cord compression, superior vena cava syndrome, extensive interstitial bilateral lung disease on High Resolution Computed Tomography (HRCT) scan or any psychiatric illness ]

9. Patients with active second malignancy.

10. Other malignancy unless curatively treated with no evidence of disease for ≥5 years except: adequately treated non-melanoma skin cancer, curatively treated in situ cancer of the cervix, ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), Stage 1, grade 1 endometrial carcinoma.

11. Any prior treatment for ovarian cancer, other than first line platinum-based therapy, including any maintenance treatment between completion of the platinum regimen and initiation of study drug in this study.
