In brief

This randomized phase III trial studies bevacizumab and intravenous (given into a vein) chemotherapy to see how well they work compared with bevacizumab and intraperitoneal (given into the abdominal cavity) chemotherapy in treating patients with stage II-III ovarian epithelial cancer, fallopian tube cancer, or primary peritoneal cancer. Monoclonal antibodies, such as bevacizumab, can block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread by blocking the growth of new blood vessels necessary for tumor growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel, carboplatin, and cisplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. It is not yet known whether giving bevacizumab together with intravenous chemotherapy is more effective than giving bevacizumab together with intraperitoneal chemotherapy in treating patients with ovarian epithelial cancer, fallopian tube cancer, or primary peritoneal cancer.

Age: 18 and older. Sex: female. Healthy volunteers: not accepted.

You may qualify if…

• Patients with a histologic diagnosis of epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal carcinoma, stage II, III, or IV with either optimal (=< 1 cm residual disease) or suboptimal residual disease; in the event of a higher priority Phase III Gynecologic Oncology Group (GOG) protocol becoming available for suboptimal and/or stage IV patients, the eligibility of this study will narrow and exclude those patients at those participating institutions (11/02/2009)
• Note: patients with suboptimal disease/and or stage IV will not be eligible as of April 1, 2011; they should be enrolled on GOG-0262 (03/14/11)
• All patients must have a procedure for determining diagnosis of epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, primary peritoneal, with appropriate tissue for histologic evaluation; the minimum surgery required is an abdominal surgery providing tissue for histologic evaluation and establishing and documenting the primary site and stage, as well as a maximal effort at tumor debulking; if additional surgery was performed, it should have been in accordance with appropriate surgery for ovarian or peritoneal carcinoma described in the GOG Surgical Procedures Manual (https://www.gog.fccc.edu/manuals/pdf/surgman.pdf) (11/02/2009)(08/16/2010)
• Patients with the following histologic epithelial cell types are eligible: serous adenocarcinoma, endometrioid adenocarcinoma, mucinous adenocarcinoma, undifferentiated carcinoma, clear cell adenocarcinoma, mixed epithelial carcinoma, transitional cell carcinoma, malignant Brenner's Tumor, or adenocarcinoma not otherwise specified (N.O.S.); however, the histologic features of the tumor must be compatible with a primary Müllerian epithelial adenocarcinoma; if doubt exists, it is recommended that the investigator should have the slides reviewed by an independent pathologist prior to entry; patients may have co-existing endometrial cancer so long as the primary origin of invasive tumor is ovarian or peritoneal; Note: patients with mucinous, low grade and clear cell disease are eligible unless there is a higher priority GOG trial open (11/02/2009) (08/16/2010)
• Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) greater than or equal to 1,500/mcl, equivalent to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events v3.0 (CTCAE) grade 1; this ANC cannot have been induced or supported by granulocyte colony stimulating factors
• Platelets greater than or equal to 100,000/mcl
• Creatinine no greater than institutional upper limits of normal (03/29/10)
• Bilirubin less than or equal to 1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN) (CTCAE grade 1)
• Alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) less than or equal to 2.5 x ULN (CTCAE grade 1)
• Alkaline phosphatase less than or equal to 2.5 x ULN (CTCAE grade 1)
• Neuropathy (sensory and motor) less than or equal to CTCAE grade 1
• Prothrombin time (PT) such that international normalized ratio (INR) is =< 1.5 x ULN (or an in-range INR, usually between 2 and 3, if a patient is on a stable dose of therapeutic warfarin) and a partial thromboplastin time (PTT) =< 1.5 times the upper limit of normal (heparin, Lovenox or alternative anticoagulants are acceptable); this corresponds to CTCAE version 3.0 grade 1 one or less (11/02/2009) (03/29/10)
• Patients with a GOG performance status of 0, 1, or 2
• Patients must be entered and treated within 12 weeks of their most recent surgery performed for the combined purpose of diagnosis, staging and/or cytoreduction; the first cycle of chemotherapy should not be given until at least seven days after the most recent major surgery, which allows 4 weeks to have elapsed prior to the first bevacizumab dose; (placement of venous or peritoneal access devices will be considered minor surgery) (03/29/10)
• Patients who have met the pre-entry requirements specified
• An approved informed consent and authorization permitting release of personal health information must be signed by the patient or guardian
• Patients in this trial may receive ovarian estrogen +/- progestin replacement therapy as indicated at the lowest effective dose(s) for control of menopausal symptoms at any time, but high dose progestin as an appetite stimulant should be avoided (03/29/10)

You may not qualify if…

• Patients with a current diagnosis of borderline epithelial ovarian tumor (formerly "tumors of low malignant potential") or recurrent invasive epithelial ovarian cancer treated with surgery only (such as those with stage IA or IB low grade lesions) are not eligible; patients with a prior diagnosis of a borderline tumor that was surgically resected and who subsequently develop an unrelated, new invasive epithelial ovarian or peritoneal primary cancer are eligible, provided that they have not received prior chemotherapy for any ovarian tumor
• Patients with a history of other invasive malignancies, with the exception of non-melanoma skin cancer and other specific malignancies are excluded if there is any evidence of the other malignancy being present within the last five years; patients are also excluded if their previous cancer treatment contraindicates this protocol therapy (11/02/2009)
• Patients who have received prior radiotherapy to any portion of the abdominal cavity or pelvis are excluded; prior radiation for localized cancer of the breast, head and neck, or skin is permitted, provided that it was completed more than three years prior to registration, and the patient remains free of recurrent or metastatic disease
• Patients who have received prior chemotherapy for any abdominal or pelvic tumor including neo-adjuvant chemotherapy for their ovarian or primary peritoneal cancer are excluded; patients may have received prior adjuvant chemotherapy for localized breast cancer, provided that it was completed more than three years prior to registration, and that the patient remains free of recurrent or metastatic disease
• Patients who have received any targeted therapy (including but not limited to vaccines, antibodies, tyrosine kinase inhibitors) or hormonal therapy for management of their epithelial ovarian or peritoneal primary cancer
• Patients with synchronous primary endometrial cancer, or a past history of primary endometrial cancer, are excluded, unless all of the following conditions are met: stage not greater than IB; no more than superficial myometrial invasion, without vascular or lymphatic invasion; no poorly differentiated subtypes, including papillary serous, clear cell or other FIGO grade 3 lesions
