Brief summary: This phase II trial studies the side effects and how well trebananib works in treating patients with persistent or recurrent endometrial cancer. Trebananib may stop the growth of endometrial cancer by blocking blood flow to the tumor.

Detailed description: PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To estimate the proportion of patients with persistent or recurrent endometrial cancer, who survive progression-free for at least 6 months and the proportion of patients who have objective tumor response (complete or partial), treated with AMG 386 (trebananib).

II. To determine the nature and degree of toxicity of AMG 386 in this cohort of patients.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To estimate the progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) of patients with persistent or recurrent endometrial cancer treated with AMG 386.

OUTLINE:

Patients receive trebananib intravenously (IV) over 30-60 minutes on days 1, 8, 15, and 21. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 3 months for 2 years and then every 6 months for 3 years.

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* Patients must have recurrent or persistent endometrial carcinoma, which is refractory to curative therapy or established treatments; histologic confirmation of the original primary tumor is required; stained slides to document the primary tumor as well as recurrent/persistent disease (if documented by histology or cytology) are required
* Patients with the following histologic epithelial cell types are eligible:

  * Endometrioid adenocarcinoma
  * Serous adenocarcinoma
  * Undifferentiated carcinoma
  * Clear cell adenocarcinoma
  * Mixed epithelial carcinoma
  * Adenocarcinoma not otherwise specified (N.O.S.)
  * Mucinous adenocarcinoma
  * Squamous cell carcinoma
  * Transitional cell carcinoma
* All patients must have measurable disease as defined by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1; measurable disease is defined as at least one lesion that can be accurately measured in at least one dimension (longest diameter to be recorded); each lesion must be \>= 10 mm when measured by computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (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
* Patients must have at least one "target lesion" to be used to assess response on this protocol as defined by RECIST 1.1; tumors within a previously irradiated field will be designated as 'non-target" lesions unless progression is documented or a biopsy is obtained to confirm persistence \>= 90 days following completion of radiation therapy
* Patients must not be eligible for a higher priority Gynecologic Oncology Group (GOG) protocol, if one exists; in general, this would refer to any active GOG phase III or Rare Tumor protocol for the same patient population
* Patients who have received one prior chemotherapy regimen must have a GOG performance status of 0, 1, or 2; patients who have received two prior chemotherapy regimens must have a GOG performance status of 0 or 1
* Recovery from effects of recent surgery, radiotherapy, or chemotherapy
* Patients should be free of active infection requiring antibiotics (with the exception of uncomplicated urinary tract infection \[UTI\])
* Any hormonal therapy directed at the malignant tumor must be discontinued at least one week prior to registration
* Any other prior therapy directed at the malignant tumor, including chemotherapy and immunologic agents, must be discontinued at least three weeks prior to registration
* Any prior radiation therapy must be completed at least 4 weeks prior to registration
* Patients must have had one prior chemotherapeutic regimen for management of endometrial carcinoma; chemotherapy administered in conjunction with primary radiation as a radio-sensitizer WILL be counted as a chemotherapy regimen
* Patients are allowed to receive, but are not required to receive, one additional cytotoxic regimen for management of recurrent or persistent disease
* Patients must have NOT received any non-cytotoxic (biologic or targeted) agents as part of their primary treatment or for management of recurrent or persistent disease

  * Non-cytotoxic (biologic or targeted) agents include (but are not limited to) monoclonal antibodies, cytokines, and small-molecule inhibitors of signal transduction
* Prior hormonal therapy is allowed; there is no limit on the number of prior hormonal therapies allowed
* Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) greater than or equal to 1,500/mcl
* Platelets greater than or equal to 100,000/mcl
* Hemoglobin level \>= 9.0 g/dL
* Creatinine less than or equal to 1.5 x institutional upper limit normal (ULN) or a creatinine clearance \>= 60 ml/m\^2
* Bilirubin less than or equal to 1.5 x ULN
* Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) less than or equal to 3 x ULN
* Alkaline phosphatase less than or equal to 2.5 x ULN
* Neuropathy (sensory and motor) less than or equal to grade 1
* Prothrombin time (PT) such that international normalized ratio (INR) is =\< 1.5 x ULN (or an in-range INR, usually between 2 and 3, if a patient is on a stable dose of therapeutic warfarin) and a partial thromboplastin time (PTT) =\< 1.5 x ULN
* Albumin \>= 2.8 mg/dL
* Patients must have a urine protein of =\< 1 on dipstick; if dipstick is 2+ or higher, 24-hour urine protein must be obtained and should be \< 1 g for patient to be eligible
* Patients must have signed an approved informed consent and authorization permitting release of personal health information
* Patients of child bearing potential must agree to use an accepted and effective non-hormonal method of contraception i.e., double barrier method (e.g. condom plus diaphragm) from the time of signing the informed consent through 6 months after last dose of study drug

* Patients who have received prior radiotherapy to any portion of the abdominal cavity or pelvis OTHER THAN for the treatment of endometrial cancer within the last three years are excluded; prior radiation for localized cancer of the breast, head and neck, or skin is permitted, provided that it was completed more than three years prior to registration, and the patient remains free of recurrent or metastatic disease
