- Overall Survival [ Time Frame: Up to five years ]Overall survival is defined as the duration of time from study entry to time of death, or the date of last contact.
- Participants With Grade 1 or Higher Non-serious Adverse Effects Assessed by CTCAE Version 4.0 [ Time Frame: Every cycle while on treatment, up to 5 years ]Grade 1 or higher non-serious adverse events were graded by CTC AE v 4.
- Progression-free Survival [ Time Frame: Is measured from date of randomization until first indication of progression based on RECIST criteria or death from any cause, or if progression-free at last contact, the date of last disease assessment up to 10 years. ]Progression is defined using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors criteria (RECIST v1.0) as a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, or a measurable increase in a non-target lesion, or the appearance of new lesions.
- Objective Tumor Response [ Time Frame: CT scan or MRI if used to follow lesion for measurable disease every other cycle for the first 6 months; then every 3 months x 2; then every 6 months thereafter until disease progression, and any other time clinically indicated, up to 5 years ]Complete and Partial Tumor Response by RECIST 1.1. Per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v.1.1) for target lesions and assessed by MRI: Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR),.>=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; Overall response (OR) = CR + PR
- Patient Reported Neurotoxicity [ Time Frame: baseline (pre-treatment), pre cycle 4, post cycle 6, six months post-chemo, end of bevacizumab [BEV] (or 39 weeks after completion of chemotherapy in the non-BEV arms or in those who discontinue BEV), six months after BEV, and years 2, 3, 4, and 5 ]Patient reported neurotoxicity symptoms as measured with the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy/Gynecologic Oncology Group - neurotoxicity subscale (short version) (FACT/GOG-Ntx subscale). The FACT/GOG-Ntx subscale contains 4 items. Each item was scored using a 5-point scale (0=not at all; 1=a little bit; 2=somewhat; 3=quite a bit; 4=very much). For the negative items, reversal was performed prior to score calculation. According to the FACIT measurement system, the Ntx score was the summation of the individual item scores if more than 50% of subscale items were answered. When unanswered items existed, a subscale score was prorated by multiplying the mean of the answered item scores by the number of items in the scale. The Ntx score ranges 0-16 with a large score suggests less neurotoxicity.
- Patient Reported Quality of Life [ Time Frame: baseline (pre-treatment), pre cycle 4, post cycle 6, six months post-chemo, end of bevacizumab [BEV] (or 39 weeks after completion of chemotherapy in the non-BEV arms or in those who discontinue BEV), six months after BEV, and years 2, 3, 4, and 5 ]Patient reported quality of life was measured with the Treatment Outcome Index of the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy for endometrial cancer (FACT-O TOI). The FACT-O TOI is a scale for assessing general QOL of ovarian cancer patients. It consists of three subscales: Physical Well Being (7 items), Functional Well Being (7 items), and Ovarian Cancer subscale (11 items). Each item in the FACT-O TOI was scored using a 5-point scale (0=not at all; 1=a little bit; 2=somewhat; 3=quite a bit; 4=very much). For the negative statements (or questions), reversal was performed prior to score calculation. According to the FACIT measurement system, a subscale score was the summation of the individual item scores if more than 50% of subscale items were answered. The FACT-O TOI score ranges 0-100 with a large score suggests better QOL
- Numbers and Percentages of Patients With Mutations in the Kirsten Rat Sarcoma Viral Oncogene Homolog (KRAS) Oncogene [ Time Frame: Baseline ]Will be tabulated. Interactions between the mutational status of the KRAS oncogene and treatment will be examined.
