Paclitaxel and Carboplatin With or Without Bevacizumab in Treating Patients With Stage II, Stage III, or Stage IV Ovarian Epithelial Cancer, Primary Peritoneal Cancer, or Fallopian Tube Cancer

Plain-language summary
This phase III clinical trial studies two different dose schedules of paclitaxel to see how well they work in combination with carboplatin with or without bevacizumab in treating patients with stage II, III or IV ovarian epithelial cancer, primary peritoneal cancer, or fallopian tube cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel and carboplatin, 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. Bevacizumab is a type of drug called a monoclonal antibody and blocks tumor growth by stopping the growth of blood vessels that tumors need to grow. It is not yet known whether giving paclitaxel with combination chemotherapy once every three weeks is more effective than giving paclitaxel once a week in treating patients with ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer.

Inclusion Criteria:
* Primary Surgery and Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy with Interval Cytoreductive Surgery Patients:
* Patients must have measurable disease; at least one target lesion must have a minimum length of 1 cm in both the long and short axis (determined at the local site); for primary surgery patients, if no radiographic evidence of measurable disease is obtained prior to registration this can be based on surgical findings; imaging then would need to be completed in the 14 days between Gynecology Oncology Group (GOG) registration and chemotherapy initiation
* After GOG registration, the American College of Radiology \[ACR\] Imaging Core Laboratory will confirm target lesion as required per protocol; the GOG-eligibility (RECIST) scan and baseline T0 perfusion CT scans will be reviewed prior to the intermediate T1 perfusion CT time point
* Primary Surgery Patients:
* Patients with a histologic diagnosis of epithelial ovarian cancer, peritoneal primary carcinoma or fallopian tube cancer, stage II -IV suboptimally debulked (any residual disease \> 1 cm); International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage is assessed following the completion of initial abdominal surgery, appropriate imaging studies and with appropriate tissue available 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; if additional surgery was performed, it…
