TARCEVA: A randomised, multicentre, phase III study of Erlotinib versus observation in patients with no evidence of disease progression after first line, platinum-based chemotherapy for high-risk Stage I and Stage II-IV ovarian epithelial, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer.
A randomised, multicentre, phase III study of Erlotinib versus observation in patients with no evidence of disease progression after first line, platinum-based chemotherapy for high-risk Stage I and Stage II-IV ovarian epithelial, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer to improve progression-free survival.

Conditions
Summary
To determine whether the administration of Erlotinib (maintenance treatment) after first line chemotherapy in patients with ovarian cancer can provide improved outcomes in terms of progression-free survival, compared with the standard approach of observation alone. Roche only will be supplying the drug.
