Brief summary

This two-part, multicenter study will evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of pertuzumab in combination with standard chemotherapy in women with recurrent platinum-resistant epithelial ovarian cancer. In the non-randomized Part 1 safety run-in, participants will receive pertuzumab plus either topotecan or paclitaxel. In the randomized, double-blind Part 2 of the study, participants will receive either pertuzumab or placebo in combination with chemotherapy (topotecan, paclitaxel, or gemcitabine).

Interventions

Participants administered gemcitabine at a dosage of 1000 milligrams per square meter (mg/m\^2) intravenous (IV) infusion on Days 1 and 8 every 3 weeks.

Participants administered paclitaxel at a dosage of 80 mg/m\^2 as 1 hour IV infusion on Days 1, 8 and 15 every 3 weeks.

DRUGPertuzumab

Participants administered pertuzumab 840 milligrams (mg) IV infusion on Day 1 of the first treatment cycle as a loading dose, followed by 420 mg on Day 1 of each subsequent 3 weekly cycle.

DRUGPlacebo

Participants administered pertuzumab matching placebo IV infusion on Day 1 of each 3 weekly cycle.

DRUGTopotecan (Chemotherapy)

Participants administered topotecan at a dosage of 1.25 mg/m\^2 as a 30 minute IV infusion daily on Days 1 to 5 every 3 weeks.

PFS (Investigator-assessed) is defined as the time from randomization, until disease progression according to RECIST v1.1 including death or MBO, whichever occurs first. Censoring is based on the last tumor assessment. If no tumor assessment post baseline, then censoring is at day 1. PD could base on symptom deterioration or was defined as at least a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum longest diameter recorded since treatment started or the appearance of one or more new lesions and/or the unequivocal progression of existing non-target lesions.

Time frame: Approximately 44 months (assessed at screening and every 9 weeks from randomization until disease progression)

Population: ITT Population included all randomized participants in the group to which they were randomly assigned ('as randomized' analysis)
