Inclusion Criteria: Histologically confirmed fallopian tube, ovarian epithelial, or primary peritoneal carcinoma Stage II-IV disease The following epithelial cell types are allowed: Carcinosarcoma Serous adenocarcinoma Endometrioid adenocarcinoma Mucinous adenocarcinoma Undifferentiated carcinoma Clear cell adenocarcinoma Mixed epithelial carcinoma Transitional cell carcinoma Malignant Brenner's tumor Adenocarcinoma not otherwise specified Must have undergone prior surgery for ovarian or peritoneal carcinoma within the past 12 weeks Optimal (≤ 1 cm residual disease) or suboptimal

subtypes (e.g., grade 3, clear cell, or papillary serous) No epithelial ovarian carcinoma of low malignant potential (borderline carcinomas) No CNS disease (e.g., seizures not controlled with standard medical therapy) or metastasis GOG performance status 0-2 Absolute neutrophil count ≥ 1,500/mm^3 Platelet count ≥ 100,000/mm^3 INR ≤ 1.5 (or an in-range INR, usually between 2 and 3, if a patient is on a stable dose of therapeutic warfarin for management of venous thrombosis including pulmonary thrombo-embolus) (applies to part C only) PTT < 1.2 times the upper limit of normal (applies to part C only) SGOT ≤ 2.5 times normal Alkaline phosphatase ≤ 2.5 times normal Bilirubin ≤ 1.5 times normal Creatinine ≤ 1.5 times normal No active bleeding Abnormal cardiac conduction (e.g., bundle branch block or heart block) allowed provided disease has remained stable for the past 6 months No unstable angina or myocardial infarction within the past 6 months No neuropathy (sensory and motor) > CTCAE grade 1 Not pregnant or nursing Fertile patients must use effective contraception during and for at least 6 months after completion of study therapy No septicemia, severe infection, or acute hepatitis No other invasive malignancy within the past 5 years except non-melanoma skin cancer or localized breast cancer No circumstance that would preclude study participation No history of allergic reaction to polysorbate 80 (e.g., etoposide or vitamin E) No known hypersensitivity to Chinese hamster ovary cell products or other recombinant human or humanized antibodies (applies to part C only) No clinically significant proteinuria Must have urine protein-creatinine ratio (UPCR) < 1 No serious, non-healing wound, ulcer, or bone fracture (applies to part C only) At least 3-6 months since prior abdominal fistula or gastrointestinal perforation and fully recovered (part C only) No history of intra-abdominal abscess within the past 28 days (applies to part C only) No active bleeding or pathologic conditions that carry high risk of bleeding, such as known bleeding disorder, coagulopathy, or tumor involving major vessels (applies to part C only) No history or evidence (upon physical examination) of CNS disease, including primary brain tumor, seizures not controlled with standard medical therapy, or brain metastases (applies to part C only) No history of cerebrovascular accident

28 days (applies to part C only) No clinically significant cardiovascular disease, including any of the following (applies to part C only): Uncontrolled hypertension, defined as systolic BP > 150 mm Hg or diastolic BP > 90 mm Hg Myocardial infarction or unstable angina < 6 months prior to registration New York Heart Association (NYHA) Grade II or greater congestive heart failure Serious cardiac arrhythmia requiring medication CTCAE Grade 2 or greater peripheral vascular disease (at least brief (< 24 hrs) episodes of ischemia managed non-surgically and without permanent deficit) History of CVA within the past six months No clinical symptoms or signs of gastrointestinal obstruction and who require parenteral hydration and/or nutrition (applies to part C only) No prior therapy with any anti-VEGF drug, including bevacizumab (applies to part C only) No prior chemotherapy Prior adjuvant chemotherapy for localized breast cancer allowed provided the therapy was completed at least 3 years before registration to study and the patient remains free of recurrent or metastatic disease No prior radiotherapy No prior cancer therapy that would contraindicate study treatment No anticipation of invasive procedures, including any of the following (applies to part C only): Major surgical procedure or open biopsy within 28 days prior to the first date of bevacizumab therapy (cycle 2) Major surgical procedure anticipated during the course of the study Core biopsy within 7 days prior to the first date of bevacizumab therapy
