Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
The primary objective of this trial is to establish statistical equivalence in terms of
efficacy (best overall response rate [ORR], proportion of patients with complete
response [CR] plus partial response [PR]) until 18 weeks of first-line treatment
with BI 695502 plus chemotherapy versus United States (US)-licensed Avastin®
plus chemotherapy followed by maintenance monotherapy with either BI 695502
or US-licensed Avastin®. 
18 weeks 
 
Secondary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
The secondary objectives of the trial are to evaluate further efficacy parameters
(progression-free survival [PFS], overall survival [OS], duration of response) and
the safety and tolerability of BI 695502 versus US-licensed Avastin®.

Individual Participant Data (IPD) Sharing Statement

Will individual participant data (IPD) be shared publicly (including data dictionaries)?  

Brief Summary  
This is a Phase III, randomized, double-blind, multicenter, active comparator, parallel two-arm trial to compare BI 695502 plus paclitaxel and carboplatin (Arm B) versus US-licensed Avastin® plus paclitaxel and carboplatin (Arm A). After 4 to 6 induction cycles are given, all patients who do not have disease progression (i.e., patients with CR, PR or stable disease) will receive maintenance with BI 695502 or US-licensed Avastin® alone, per the original randomization.
