Carboplatin and Paclitaxel or Oxaliplatin and Capecitabine With or Without Bevacizumab as First-Line Therapy in Treating Patients With Newly Diagnosed Stage II-IV or Recurrent Stage I Epithelial Ovarian or Fallopian Tube Cancer

Summary
This randomized phase III trial studies carboplatin given together with paclitaxel with or without bevacizumab to see how well it works compared with oxaliplatin given together with capecitabine with or without bevacizumab as first-line therapy in treating patients with newly diagnosed stage II-IV, or recurrent (has come back) stage I epithelial ovarian or fallopian tube cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as carboplatin, paclitaxel, oxaliplatin, and capecitabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Monoclonal antibodies, such as bevacizumab, may block tumor growth in different ways by targeting certain cells. It is not yet known which regimen of combination chemotherapy given together with or without bevacizumab is more effective in treating epithelial ovarian cancer or fallopian tube cancer.

Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:

fallopian tube with either optimal (=< 1 cm residual disease) or suboptimal residual
disease following initial surgery; patients may have measurable disease as defined by
Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1 or no measurable disease

- All patients must have had appropriate surgery including appendectomy (unless patient
has history of prior appendectomy) for ovarian or fallopian tube carcinoma with

metastasis) or recurrent stage I disease (chemonaïve)

debulking; for stage I recurrent patients (chemonaïve), they should begin protocol
therapy within 14 days of randomization

Exclusion Criteria:

- Patients with primary peritoneal carcinoma

- Patients with a history of other invasive malignancies, with the exception of
non-melanoma skin cancer, are excluded if there is any evidence of other malignancy
being present within the last 5 years; patients are also excluded if their previous
cancer treatment contraindicates this protocol therapy

- Patients who have received chemotherapy, radiotherapy or any investigational treatment
for a gynecologic cancer (does include breast cancer) or colorectal cancer prior to
enrollment

- Patients with a major surgical procedure anticipated during the course of the study;
this includes but is not limited to: abdominal surgery (laparotomy or laparoscopy)
such as colostomy or enterostomy reversal, interval or secondary cytoreductive

entry for any questions related to the classification of surgical procedures
