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

    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).
