Arms of the Study
Arm 1
Experimental
Bevacizumab + Paclitaxel + Carboplatin
Participants will receive bevacizumab 15 mg/kg IV on Day 1 every 3 weeks from Cycle 1 to Cycle 36 (initially concurrent with chemotherapy, then continued as a single agent following the completion of chemotherapy), or until protocol defined disease progression or until unacceptable toxicity (whichever occurred first). Participants will receive paclitaxel 175 mg/m^2 IV on Day 1 every 3 weeks or 80 mg/m^2 IV every week and carboplatin (AUC 5-6) IV on Day 1 every 3 weeks for a minimum of 4 and maximum of 8 cycles (including up to 4 pre-surgical cycles), or until protocol defined disease progression, or unacceptable toxicity (whichever occurred first).
