Summary:

      This phase II trial studies the combination of pembrolizumab, bevacizumab, and low dose oral
      cyclophosphamide in treating patients with recurrent ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary
      peritoneal cancer. Monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab and bevacizumab, may block
      tumor growth in different ways such as boosting your own immune system to find, recognize and
      kill tumor cells as well as by blocking the growth of new blood vessels necessary for tumor
      growth and nutrition. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as low dose oral cyclophosphamide,
      work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, as
      well as by further enhancing your own body's immune response against cancer cells. As these
      three drugs have all been shown to improve the immune response against cancer cells giving
      pembrolizumab, bevacizumab, and cyclophosphamide together may work better in treating
      patients with recurrent ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer.
