Intervention model description: For non-altered patients- An interim analysis is scheduled when the number of enrolled patients reaches 14. The research team will stop the trial for futility if 2 or less than 2 patients respond. When the total number of patients reaches the maximum sample size of 25, the research team will reject the null hypothesis and conclude that the treatment is promising if the number of responses are greater than 6; otherwise the research team will conclude that the treatment is not promising.

For altered patients-An interim analysis is scheduled when the number of enrolled patients reaches 8. The research team will stop the entire trial of two cohorts for futility if 1 or less than 1 patients respond. When the total number of patients reaches the maximum sample size of 14, the research team will reject the null hypothesis and conclude that the treatment is promising

Brief summary: This is a phase II open label, non-randomized, study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Ipatasertib (GDC-0068) in combination with paclitaxel in platinum-resistant recurrent epithelial ovarian cancer.

Detailed description: This is a phase II open label, non-randomized, study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Ipatasertib (GDC-0068) in combination with paclitaxel in platinum-resistant recurrent epithelial ovarian cancer.

The primary objective of the study is to determine - the safety and objective response rate of treatment with ipatasertib (GDC-0068) in combination with paclitaxel in platinum-resistant recurrent epithelial ovarian cancer at week 12 for two cohorts of patients: with PI3K/AKT mutations (altered) and without PI3K/AKT mutations (non-altered)

About 39 patients will participate in the study and the accrual will take place over a course of 30 months Patients will be treated until disease progression and followed for 1 year thereafter.

The two drugs are ipatasertib and paclitaxel.

* Ipatasertib will be given 400mg PO daily: day 1-21 of 28 day cycle
* Paclitaxel will be given 80mg/m2 IV weekly: day 1, 8, 15 of 28 day cycle

The study hypothesis is that the combination of Ipatasertib (GDC-0068) plus paclitaxel will safely induce a tumor response and increase the objective response rate in patients with platinum-resistant recurrent epithelial ovarian cancer, with or without PI3K/AKT mutations.

This trial will enroll patients with platinum-resistant recurrent epithelial ovarian cancer. Given the relatively poor prognosis and limited treatment options for these patients, this population is considered appropriate for trials of novel therapeutic candidates. The benefit-risk ratio for ipatasertib in combination with paclitaxel is expected to be acceptable in this setting.

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* Provision of signed and dated, written informed consent prior to any study specific procedures, sampling and analyses

  o If a patient declines to participate in any voluntary exploratory research and/or genetic component of the study, there will be no penalty or loss of benefit to the patient and he/she will not be excluded from other aspects of the study
* Aged at least 18 years at time of signing informed consent
* A pathologic (histology or cytology) confirmed diagnosis of epithelial ovarian cancer, including fallopian or primary peritoneal cancer

  o low grade serous histology is excluded
* Radiographic evidence of recurrent epithelial ovarian cancer (ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer) that has become "platinum-resistant," defined as progression of disease within 6 months from the last dose of platinum-based chemotherapy, or platinum refractory
