About this study
Official title: Atezolizumab in Combination With Bevacizumab and Chemotherapy Versus Bevacizumab and Chemotherapy in Recurrent Ovarian Cancer - a Randomized Phase III Trial
This is a phase III, randomized, partially blinded, multicenter trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of atezolizumab plus bevacizumab and chemotherapy compared to placebo plus bevacizumab and chemotherapy in patients with recurrent ovarian-, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer with 1st or 2nd relapse within 6 months after platinum based chemotherapy or 3rd relapse.
Read the detailed description
Approximately 550 patients will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to the treatments as specified below:
Arm A: Chemotherapy + Bevacizumab + Placebo Arm B: Chemotherapy + Bevacizumab + Atezolizumab
Study treatment will continue until disease progression per RECIST v1.1, unacceptable toxicity, or patient or investigator decision to discontinue treatment. Atezolizumab/placebo, chemotherapy and bevacizumab may be discontinued for toxicity independently of each other in the absence of disease progression.
For each patient, chemotherapy (PLD or Paclitaxel weekly) will be selected by the investigator prior to randomization.
Recruitment to an individual chemotherapy cohort will be closed once 50% of patients are recruited to this cohort. In such case the remaining cohort will remain open for recruitment.

Duration of Response (DOR)
based on investigator assessment using RECIST v1.1
Measured: From date of randomization until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever occurs earlier, assessed up to 40 months
Efficacy regarding PD-L1 status
Efficacy regarding PD-L1 positivity defined by the VENTANA SP142 assay (negative: IC 0 versus positive IC: 1/2/3)

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
This is a phase III, randomized, partially blinded, multicenter trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of atezolizumab plus bevacizumab and chemotherapy compared to placebo plus bevacizumab and chemotherapy in patients with recurrent ovarian-, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer with 1st or 2nd relapse within 6 months after platinum based chemotherapy or 3rd relapse.
Detailed description
Approximately 550 patients will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to the treatments as specified below:
Arm A: Chemotherapy + Bevacizumab + Placebo Arm B: Chemotherapy + Bevacizumab + Atezolizumab
Study treatment will continue until disease progression per RECIST v1.1, unacceptable toxicity, or patient or investigator decision to discontinue treatment. Atezolizumab/placebo, chemotherapy and bevacizumab may be discontinued for toxicity independently of each other in the absence of disease progression.
For each patient, chemotherapy (PLD or Paclitaxel weekly) will be selected by the investigator prior to randomization.
Recruitment to an individual chemotherapy cohort will be closed once 50% of patients are recruited to this cohort. In such case the remaining cohort will remain open for recruitment.

- Malignancies other than ovarian cancer within 5 years prior to randomisation, with the exception of those with a negligible risk of metastasis or death (e.g., 5-year OS rate > 90%) and treated with expected curative outcome (such as adequately treated carcinoma in situ of the cervix, non melanoma skin carcinoma, ductal carcinoma in situ, or Stage I uterine cancer)
- More than three prior systemic anticancer regimens; maintenance therapies (e.g. with bevacizumab, olaparib or niraparib) are not calculated as separate line.
- Prior systemic anticancer therapy within 28 days before randomization (except bevacizumab: 20 days).
Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening; this overview does not establish that a patient qualifies. Full inclusion and exclusion criteria.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing Bevacizumab, Atezolizumab and Chemotherapy in people with Recurrent Ovarian Carcinoma, run by AGO Research GmbH at 111 sites in 12 countries.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 26 inclusion and 55 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Apr 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 111 sites in Germany, France, Spain, Switzerland, Belgium and 7 more countries. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Overall Survival (OS) (time frame: From date of randomizationrandomization to date of death from any cause assessed up to 40 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03353831, which also lists 2 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 6 Apr 2025.
