Avastin Plus Chemotherapy vs. Avastin Plus Chemotherapy Chosen by Cancer Stem Cell Chemosensitivity Testing in the Management of Patients With Recurrent Platinum-Resistant or -Sensitive Epithelial Ovarian, Fallopian Tube, or Primary Peritoneal Cancer

The purpose of this randomized clinical study is to confirm the utility of chemosensitivity
(ChemoID) tumor testing on cancer stem cells as a predictor of clinical response in recurrent
epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC), fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer, regardless of
platinum sensitivity.

Population studied will be female participants experiencing a 1st, 2nd, or 3rd recurrence of
any stage epithelial ovarian cancer.

This study is designed as a parallel group randomized controlled clinical trial to determine
if recurrent Epithelial Ovarian Cancer (EOC) patients treated with Bevacizumab plus drugs
predicted by the ChemoID assay will have better outcomes than patients treated with
standard-of-care control therapy (Bevacizumab plus chemotherapy chosen by the Physician).

Upon obtaining informed consent, all eligible participants affected by 1st, 2nd, or 3rd
relapse of EOC regardless of platinum sensitivity (both platinum sensitive and resistant)
will have a tumor biopsy or a cancer-positive fluid collection sample to undergo ChemoID drug
response testing with multiple FDA-approved chemotherapeutic agents.

Eligible participants will be randomized to a standard treatment arm with control treatment
(Bevacizumab plus chemotherapy chosen by the Physician from the provided list), or to a study
arm of Bevacizumab plus FDA-approved drugs selected by the ChemoID drug response assay.

A stratified randomization approach for treatment arm assignment will be used with strata
based on relapse number, platinum sensitivity, and study site to ensure balance within these
cells.

Inclusion Criteria:

- 1. Informed consent obtained and signed;

- 2. Willing and able to commit to study procedures including long-term follow-up
visit(s);

- 3. At least 18 years old at the time of enrollment;

- 4. Negative pregnancy test for women of childbearing potential

- 5. Experiencing 1st, 2nd, or 3rd recurrent epithelial ovarian cancer of any stage
regardless of platinum sensitivity, (platinum-sensitive, -resistant, or -refractory);

- 6. Histopathological or cytological confirmation of recurrent epithelial ovarian
carcinoma, peritoneal cancer or fallopian tube cancer.

- 7. Evaluable disease - defined as RECIST 1.1 measurable disease OR not measurable
disease (defined as solid and/or cystic abnormalities on radiographic imaging that do
not meet RECIST 1.1 definitions for target lesions OR ascites and/or pleural effusion
that has been pathologically demonstrated to be disease-related in the setting of a
CA125 > 2x ULN).

- 8. At least 30 days post-cytotoxic chemotherapy and/or monoclonal antibody therapy
prior to enrollment;

- 9. Toxicities of prior therapy (excepting alopecia) should be resolved to less than or
equal to Grade 1 as per CTCAE v4.0 (http://ctep.cancer.gov/protocol
development/electronic_applications/ctc.htm). Patients with long-standing stable grade
2 neuropathy may be considered after discussion with the Study Chair.

- 10. ECOG Performance Status Score of ≤ 2, KPS≥70, or 0-1 GOG status

- 11. Adequate laboratory values within 60 days of enrollment to study defined as
follows:

1. WBC ≥ 3000/mm3

2. Hgb ≥ 10 mg/dl

3. Hct ≥ 28%

4. Platelet count ≥ 100,000/μL

5. Serum creatinine ≤ 2.0 mg/dl

6. Total bilirubin ≤ 2.5 mg/dl

7. AST/SGOT ≤ 3 times ULN. If intrahepatic liver metastases are present, AST and ALT
must be ≤ 5 times institutional ULN.

8. Random urine protein/creatinine ratio ≤ 1 or 24 hour urine protein < 0.1 gram.

- 12. Appropriate for tissue sampling either by tumor biopsy or peritoneal or pleural
fluid collection.

Exclusion Criteria:

- 1. Estimated life expectancy of <6 months, as estimated by the investigator in
consultation with participating oncologists;

- 2. Ovarian cancer of a low grade serous, mucinous, or clear cell histology;

- 3. Uncontrolled diabetes;

- 4. Patients with clinically significant proteinuria; urine protein should be screened
by urine protein-creatinine ratio (UPCR); the UPCR has been found to correlate
directly with the amount of protein excreted in a 24 hour urine collection;
specifically, a UPCR of 1.0 is equivalent to 1.0 gram of protein in a 24-hour urine
collection; obtain at least 4 ml of a random urine sample in a sterile container (does
not have to be a 24-hour urine); send sample to lab with request for urine protein and
creatinine levels (separate requests); the lab will measure protein concentration
(mg/dL) and creatinine concentration (mg/dL); the UPCR is derived as follows: protein
concentration (mg/dL)/creatinine (mg/dL); patients must have a UPCR ≤ 1.0 to allow
participation in the study;

- 5. Symptomatic cardiac conditions;

- 6. Contraindications to bevacizumab including uncontrolled hypertension, known
arterial or venous thromboembolism, known nephrotic syndrome, history of abdominal
fistula, GIP, or intra-abdominal abscess; clinical signs or symptoms of GI obstruction
and/or requirement for parenteral hydration or nutrition; nonhealing wound, ulcer, or
bone fracture; bleeding diathesis or significant coagulopathy; known CNS disease,
clinically significant cardiovascular disease; and a major surgical procedure within
28 days of enrollment or anticipated to occur while participating in study;

- 7. Enrollment in another clinical study that precludes allowing the oncologist to
select chemotherapy regimens;

- 8. Previously participated in this study;

- 9. Any condition that would, in the opinion of the investigator, place the participant
at an unacceptable risk, or render the participant unable to meet the requirements of
the protocol (including long-term study follow-up).

- 10. Documented history of ovarian cancer of a low malignant potential phenotype or
unclear cell histology.

- 11. CA-125 only disease without RECIST 1.1 measurable or otherwise evaluable disease

- 12. Patients may not use any complementary or alternative medicines including natural
herbal products or folk remedies as they may interfere with the effectiveness of the
study treatments.
