Standard of care: First-line setting
Bevacizumab can be combined with chemotherapy according to GOG 218, and maintenance therapy should be considered 1
• The maintenance duration has not been defined 1
• Therapy according to risk categories is not universally accepted 2
• ICON7 showed no OS benefit with bevacizumab; however, in an exploratory analysis of a predefined patient group with poor prognosis disease, a significant difference in OS was noted with bevacizumab
• No biomarker is currently available
• However, two are under validation 3,4
• There is no clear evidence that bevacizumab added to neo-adjuvant chemotherapy improves outcome 5

Solo1 data represent a new standard for BRCA mutated patients PARPi standard of care as maintenance after CT in the recurrence Many new promising strategies are under evaluation in OC
Immunotherapy alone in the recurrent setting is unsatisfactory Combination of immunotherapy with chemotherapy, PARPi and bevacizumab promises to change the treatment landscape in OC
