Eligibility criteria:

        Inclusion Criteria:

          -  Recurrent or persistent epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal
             carcinoma w/ histologic documentation of the original primary tumor via the pathology
             report:

               -  serious, endometrioid, mucinous, or clear cell adenocarcinoma

               -  undifferentiated, mixed epithelial or transitional cell carcinoma

               -  Brenner's Tumor

               -  adenocarcinoma NOS

          -  Had treatment-free interval following response to bevacizumab (CR, PR, or SD) of < 6
             months, or have progressed during treatment w/ a bevacizumab-containing therapy

          -  Measurable or detectable disease. Measurable is defined by RECIST 1.1. Each lesion
             must be ≥ 10 mm when measured by CT, MRI or caliper measurement by clinical exam; or ≥
             20 mm when measured by chest x-ray. Lymph nodes must be > 15 mm in short axis when
             measured by CT or MRI. Detectable defined as no measurable disease but either
             ascities/pleural effusion or solid/cystic abnormalities that don't meet RECIST 1.1 -
             both within the setting of CA125 >2xULN

          -  Those with measurable disease must have at least one "target lesion" to assess
             response as defined by RECIST 1.1. Tumors in a previously irradiated field will be
             designated as "non-target" lesions

          -  Must have a ECOG Performance Status of 0 or 1
