What this page does

Maps options by country

It maps sourced options by country alongside diagnosis wording, stage, test results, specialists, and trial-search terms.

What it does not do

Does not choose treatment

It does not rank treatments, recommend a choice, or decide clinical fit.

Where it comes from

Built on trusted sources

Every option links to a trusted regulator, HTA, or guideline source, and the list grows as new sources pass verification.

Information to gather before the next visit

  • Has a gynecologic oncologist reviewed the surgical plan?
  • Is the goal staging, cytoreduction/debulking, symptom relief, or interval surgery after chemotherapy?
  • How does surgical timing interact with planned chemotherapy?
  • Is chemotherapy planned before surgery, after surgery, or for recurrent/persistent disease?

Regulatory and access status by country, from official sources. It shows what exists and where — not a recommendation.

United States

  • Bevacizumab (Avastin) + carboplatin + paclitaxel, followed by single-agent bevacizumab[1]FDA-approvedno biomarker selector stated in the fetched FDA sources; stage III or IV disease following initial surgical resection; front-line chemotherapy followed by bevacizumab maintenance continuation. · This finding is specific to stage III or IV disease after initial surgical resection and should not be generalized to every ovarian setting. The FDA-hosted label file is an older label artifact and should be refreshed before patient-facing reuse. Confidence/conflicts: High for the stage III-IV post-surgical approval wording; current-label refresh remains advisable because the fetched PDF is an older label artifact.
  • Bevacizumab (Avastin) + carboplatin + paclitaxel, followed by single-agent bevacizumab[1]FDA-approvedno biomarker selector stated in the fetched FDA sources; stage III or IV disease following initial surgical resection; front-line chemotherapy followed by bevacizumab maintenance continuation. · This finding is specific to stage III or IV disease after initial surgical resection and should not be generalized to every ovarian setting. The FDA-hosted label file is an older label artifact and should be refreshed before patient-facing reuse. Confidence/conflicts: High for the stage III-IV post-surgical approval wording; current-label refresh remains advisable because the fetched PDF is an older label artifact.
  • Niraparib (Zejula)[2]FDA-approvedno FDA-approved companion diagnostic required for this first-line maintenance indication; first-line maintenance after complete or partial response to platinum-based chemotherapy. · This finding verifies the broad U.S. first-line maintenance indication, not relative benefit across biomarker subgroups, later-line withdrawn uses, or payer coverage. Weight- and platelet-based dosing details exist in the source but are not a MatchMedi eligibility shortcut. Confidence/conflicts: High for the FDA first-line maintenance indication and no-companion-diagnostic statement; no conflict identified.
  • Olaparib (Lynparza)[3]FDA-approveddeleterious or suspected deleterious germline or somatic BRCA mutation required; first-line maintenance after complete or partial response to platinum-based chemotherapy. · The fetched FDA-hosted label PDF is a 2020 label file and carries the standard note that it may not be the latest approved label; use it as a verified indication source, but refresh before patient-facing reuse. This finding does not establish payer coverage or individual companion-diagnostic availability. Confidence/conflicts: Moderate-high for the FDA-hosted indication text; current-label refresh remains advisable because the fetched PDF is not the newest label artifact.
  • Olaparib (Lynparza) + bevacizumab[3]FDA-approvedhomologous recombination deficiency (HRD) positive status required, defined by deleterious or suspected deleterious BRCA mutation and/or genomic instability; FDA-approved companion diagnostic referenced; first-line maintenance after complete or partial response to platinum-based chemotherapy. · This is an HRD-selected maintenance indication, not a general all-comers ovarian maintenance claim.

Beyond approved care

In clinical trials & emerging options

Options that are not — or not yet — an approved standard where you live: studies, clinical trials, off-label use, and early evidence that your own oncologist may not raise. Each is labeled by how strong the evidence is. A listing here is information to research and discuss with your team; it does not mean a treatment is proven, safe for you, or available today.

In clinical trials

A clinical-trial listing or early report shows an option is being studied — not that it works, that it is safe for any one person, or that a site is enrolling today. Whether any of these fits is a conversation for your oncology team and the trial team. Last checked 2026-06-12.
