Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of intravenous weekly paclitaxel given with intravenous carboplatin and bevacizumab in patients with epithelial ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube carcinoma that are to receive neoadjuvant chemotherapy (prior to surgical cytoreduction). Patients will then undergo surgery which will allow an objective measure of response to the above regimen as well as assessment of surgical outcomes.

Detailed description

Phase I study proposed to evaluate: * Tolerability of IV regimen carboplatin, paclitaxel and bevacizumab in the neoadjuvant setting prior to surgery. * Safety/Toxicity of IV regimen in this patient population * Treatment is Carboplatin area under the concentration curve (AUC) 5, Bevacizumab 15mg/m2, and starting dose of paclitaxel of 60mg/m2 and will be escalated in intervals of 10mg/m2 to a maximum dose of 80mg/m2. * Patients will receive cycles 1-3 of carboplatin, bevacizumab, and paclitaxel and then cycle 4 will be carboplatin and paclitaxel followed by surgical intervention within 6 weeks of cycle 4. * Post surgical treatment per physician discretion

Interventions

DRUGcarboplatin

Carboplatin AUC 5.0 or 6.0 will be administered on day 1 during cycle 1-3. Treatment cycle consists of 21 days duration.

DRUGBevacizumab

Bevacizumab 15 mg/kg administered on Day 1 during cycle 1-3. Treatment cycle consists of 21 days duration.

DRUGPaclitaxel

60-80 mg/m2 administered on Day 1, 8 & 15 during cycle 1-3. Treatment cycle consists of 21 days duration.

Participants by arm

ArmCount
Arm I
* Chemotherapy Cycles 1-3: All patients will receive 3 cycles of carboplatin, weekly paclitaxel and bevacizumab. Cycles will be administered every 21 days. * Chemotherapy Cycle 4: Patients will receive carboplatin and paclitaxel without bevacizumab for cycle 4. Radiologic imaging will be obtained pretreatment and after cycle 4. * Surgery: After 4 cycles of chemotherapy patients will be evaluated for surgical exploration. Patients who complete treatment with neoadjuvant chemotherapy and are medically fit, will undergo maximal tumor cytoreduction. Surgery should be undertaken at least 28 days after the administration of bevacizumab. * Post-Surgical Chemotherapy: Following surgery, chemotherapy will be at the discretion of the treating physician and will not be part of the study outcomes. There currently is no standard therapy for patients with ovarian cancer after undergoing interval debulking, therefore, this will be at the discretion of
