Bevacizumab in combination with paclitaxel and carboplatin for first-line treatment of advanced ovarian cancer - NICE TAG TA284

1.1 Bevacizumab in combination with paclitaxel and carboplatin is not recommended for first-line treatment of advanced ovarian cancer (International Federation of Gynaecology and Obstetrics [FIGO] stages IIIB, IIIC and IV epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube or primary peritoneal cancer).

1.2 People currently receiving bevacizumab for first-line treatment of advanced ovarian cancer should be able to continue treatment until they and their clinicians consider it appropriate to stop.
