- Quality of life (2/2) - EQ-5D ((mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, anxiety/depression, a single summary index and a visual analogue scale) [ Time Frame: At baseline, during treatment and follow up until the first documented progression or date of death (estimate 6 or 12 months but can be up to 4 years) ]measured using European Quality of life questionnaire five dimensions (EQ-5D (descriptive profile of health state)) in scale of 5 (1 is no problem and 5 is extreme problem)
- Fear of progression [ Time Frame: At baseline, during treatment and follow up until the first documented progression or date of death (estimate 6 or 12 months but can be up to 4 years) ]measured using Fear of progression questionnaire (FOP-Q SF) in scale of 1 to 5 where 1 is never and 5 is very often
- CA125 [ Time Frame: Measured at baseline, 3 weekly during treatment, 6-weekly during surveillance and 12-weekly during follow-up, through study completion, an average of 1 year. ]measured at baseline, 3-weekly during treatment, 6-weekly during surveillance and 12-weekly during follow-up
- Further treatment (1/3) [ Time Frame: Additional treatment of patients who progress will be described by trial arm, this will include the time-to-next treatment (measured from randomisation). ]of patients who progress will be described by trial arm including the time-to-next treatment (measured from randomisation)
- Further treatment (2/3) [ Time Frame: Additional treatment of patients who progress will be described by trial arm, this will include the time treatment received (measured from randomisation) ]of patients who progress will be described by trial arm including the time treatment received (measured from randomisation)
- Further treatment (3/3) [ Time Frame: Additional treatment of patients who progress will be described by trial arm, this will include the time response to this treatment (measured from randomisation) ]of patients who progress will be described by trial arm including the time response to this treatment (measured from randomisation)
- Overall survival [ Time Frame: Measured from the date of randomisation to the date of death from any cause, censored at the date last seen (estimate 2 years but can be up to 4 years) ]measured from the date of randomisation to the date of death from any cause. Patients who are event-free will be censored at the date last seen
