aOS unable to use in PAOLA-1 and VELIA trials due to not sufficiently mature

bBevacizumab combined use in both olaparib and placebo groups

cThree compared groups in this RCT: (1) control group: chemotherapy plus placebo followed by placebo maintenance; (2) veliparib-combination-only group: chemotherapy plus veliparib followed by placebo maintenance; (3) veliparib-throughout group: chemotherapy plus veliparib followed by veliparib maintenance. Although the results contained a combination of ‘treatment phase’ and ‘maintenance treatment phase’ (no separate data available for ‘maintenance treatment phase’, i.e. group 2 versus group 1), data on group 3 versus group 1 were used in meta-analysis based on conclusions of this trial which PFS in group 2 does not differ from that in group 1
