Experimental: BCD-021 (CISC BIOCAD)
BCD-021 is a product code for bevacizumab biosimilar manufactured by CJSC BIOCAD, Russia. In this arm patients will receive 6 courses of treatment with BCD-021 in combination with carboplatin and paclitaxel. BCD-021 will be administered at a dose of 15 mg/kg as 90 min intravenous infusion every 3 weeks (on Day 1 of each course). Paclitaxel will be administered at a dose of 175 mg/m2 as 3 hour intravenous infusion every 3 weeks on Day 1 and carboplatin (AUC 6 mg/ml×min) as 15 - 30 min intravenous infusion just after paclitaxel every 3 weeks on Day 1.

Drug: Bevacizumab
Patients will receive 6 courses of bevacizumab in combination with carboplatin and paclitaxel. Bevacizumab will be administered at a dose of 15 mg/kg as 90 min intravenous infusion every 3 weeks (on Day 1 of each cycle).
Other Names:
Drug: Paclitaxel Paclitaxel will be administered at a dose of 175 mg/m2 as 3 hour intravenous infusion on Day 1 of each 3-week course (6 courses totally)
Other Name: Taxacad Drug: Carboplatin Carboplatin will be administered (AUC 6 mg/ml×min) as 15 - 30 min intravenous infusion just after paclitaxel on Day 1 of each 3-week course (6 courses totally). |
Active Comparator: Avastin (F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd)
In this arm patients will receive 6 courses of treatment with Avastin in combination with carboplatin and paclitaxel. Avastin will be administered at a dose of 15 mg/kg as 90 min intravenous infusion every 3 weeks on Day 1. Paclitaxel will be administered at a dose of 175 mg/m2 as 3 hour intravenous infusion every 3 weeks on Day 1 and carboplatin (AUC 6 mg/ml×min) as 15 - 30 min intravenous infusion just after paclitaxel every 3 weeks on Day 1.
