PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:~I. To determine whether patients with newly diagnosed ovarian, primary peritoneal, and fallopian tube cancers when treated with bevacizumab, carboplatin, and weekly paclitaxel can tolerate at least 4 cycles of therapy regardless of delay or dose modification.~SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:~I. To estimate the efficacy of bevacizumab combined with carboplatin and weekly paclitaxel in patients with newly diagnosed ovarian, primary peritoneal, and fallopian tube cancers, as measured by progression-free survival.~II. To evaluate the response rate in patients with newly diagnosed ovarian, primary peritoneal, and fallopian tube cancers when treated with bevacizumab, carboplatin, and weekly paclitaxel.~TRANSLATIONAL RESEARCH OBJECTIVES:~I. To assess the predictive value of a set of angiogenic genes whose expression correlates with progression-free survival of patients with epithelial ovarian, peritoneal primary or fallopian tube cancer treated with bevacizumab, carboplatin, and weekly paclitaxel.~II. To assess the relationship among cytokines/chemokines, angiogenesis factors, novel targets of interest and clinical outcome including tumor response and progression-free survival in patients treated with bevacizumab, carboplatin, and weekly paclitaxel.~OUTLINE:~Participants receive paclitaxel intravenously (IV) over 3 hours on days 1, 8 and 15 and carboplatin IV over 1 hour on day 1. Beginning course 2, participants also receive bevacizumab IV over 1.5 hours on day 1. Treatment repeats every 21 days for up to 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.~After completion of study treatment, participants are followed up every 3 months for 2 years.
This phase II trial studies how well first-line treatment of bevacizumab, carboplatin, and paclitaxel work in treating participants with stage III- IV ovarian, primary peritoneal and fallopian tube cancer. Monoclonal antibodies, such as bevacizumab, may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as carboplatin and paclitaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving bevacizumab, carboplatin, and paclitaxel as first-line treatment may work better at treating ovarian, primary peritoneal, and fallopian tube cancer.
