             Subjects with only ascites or pleural effusion are excluded.

          7. Must have relapsed radiographically between 6 months and 36 months of completion of
             first-line platinum chemotherapy

          8. Must be a candidate for treatment with either carboplatin plus paclitaxel or
             carboplatin plus PLD with no medical contraindications present as outlined in the
             product labels for the selected regimen to be used in this study

          9. Have a life expectancy of at least 6 months, as estimated by the investigator

         10. Other significant medical conditions must be well-controlled and stable in the opinion
             of the investigator for at least 30 days prior to Randomization

             National Cancer Institute's Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE)
             v4.03 (2010)

         13. Laboratory results within the 2 weeks prior to Randomization must be as follows:

               -  Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) greater than or equal to 1.5 x 10^9/L

               -  Platelet count greater than or equal to 100 x 10^9/L

               -  Baseline albumin greater than or equal to Lower Limit of Normal

         14. Subjects of childbearing potential must be surgically sterile or consent to use a
             medically acceptable method of contraception throughout the study period. All females
             will be considered to be of childbearing potential unless they are postmenopausal (eg,
             amenorrheic for at least 12 consecutive months, in the appropriate age group, and
             without other known or suspected cause) or have been sterilized surgically (ie,
             bilateral tubal ligation, total hysterectomy, or bilateral oophorectomy, all with
             surgery at least 1 month before dosing). If a patient of childbearing potential is
             neither surgically sterile nor postmenopausal, a highly-effective contraceptive method
             (ie, a method that can achieve a failure rate of less than 1 percent (%) per year when
             used consistently and correctly) must start either before or at Screening and continue
             throughout the entire study period and for 6 months after the last dose of Test
             Article is administered. Pregnant and/or lactating females are excluded

             the past 3 years

             Association Class 3 or 4 angina, not well controlled by medication, or myocardial
             infarction within 6 months)

          4. Electrocardiogram (ECG) demonstrating clinically significant arrhythmias that are not
             adequately medically managed (Note: subjects with chronic atrial arrhythmia, ie,

             corticosteroids, with the exception that low-dose corticosteroids [50 mg/day
             prednisone or equivalent corticosteroid] are allowed; these should be discussed with
             the Medical Monitor)

          8. Known allergic reaction to a prior monoclonal antibody therapy or have any documented
             Anti-Drug Antibody (ADA) response; additionally known allergic reaction to the

             anthracyclines or anthracenodiones

         12. Breast-feeding, pregnant, or likely to become pregnant during the study

         13. Any medical or other condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, would
             preclude the subject's participation in a clinical study including medical
             contraindications as outlined in the product labels for the chemotherapies selected by
             the investigator for planned treatment in this study

         14. Patients who have had secondary debulking surgery or any second line therapy

         15. Currently enrolled in another clinical study or used any investigational drug or
