PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and dose-limiting toxicities of ABT-888 (veliparib) when administered using continuous versus intermittent dosing schedules with intravenous carboplatin, paclitaxel and bevacizumab using two different treatment regimens; or with intraperitoneal cisplatin and intravenous and intraperitoneal paclitaxel and bevacizumab in women with newly diagnosed, previously untreated, epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer.
II. To determine the feasibility of these treatment regimens over four cycles in a 2-stage group sequential design once the MTD is established.
III. To assess the toxicity of these regimens using Cancer Therapy Evaluation Program (CTEP) National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.0.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To estimate the response rate (in measurable disease patients) and progression-free survival in patients treated with these treatment regimens.
TERTIARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To assess the extent of poly-ADP-ribose polymerase (PARP) inhibition in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) on day 1 of cycles 1 and 2.
II. To assess genomic breast cancer, early onset (BRCA) mutation status in all patients in regimens I and II with continuous ABT-888 dosing and descriptively correlate with toxicity and efficacy.
OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study of veliparib followed by a feasibility study. Patients are sequentially assigned to 1 of 3 treatment regimens.
REGIMEN I: Patients receive paclitaxel intravenously (IV) over 3 hours, carboplatin IV over 30 minutes, and bevacizumab IV over 30-90 minutes (beginning in course 2) on day 1. Patients also receive veliparib orally (PO) twice daily (BID) on days 1-21. Treatment repeats every 21 days for 6 courses. Patients then receive bevacizumab alone on day 1. Treatment with bevacizumab repeats every 21 days for 16 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
REGIMEN II: Patients receive paclitaxel IV over 1 hour on days 1, 8, and 15. Patients also receive carboplatin, bevacizumab, and veliparib as in Regimen I. Treatment repeats every 21 days for 6 courses. Patients then receive bevacizumab alone on day 1. Treatment with bevacizumab repeats every 21 days for 16 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
REGIMEN III: Patients receive paclitaxel IV over 3 hours on day 1 and intraperitoneally (IP) on day 8, and cisplatin IP on day 1 or 2. Patients also receive bevacizumab and veliparib as in Regimen I. Treatment repeats every 21 days for 6 courses. Patients then receive bevacizumab alone on day 1. Treatment repeats every 21 days for 16 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up periodically.

- Objective tumor response (complete and partial response) as assessed by the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) [ Time Frame: Up to 11 years ]Tabulated by regimen and BRCA mutation status.
- Progression-free survival [ Time Frame: Time from start of treatment to time of progression or death, assessed up to 11 years ]Summarized using Kaplan-Meier plots by BRCA mutation status.
- Incidence of toxicity, graded according to National Cancer Institute CTCAE version 4.0 [ Time Frame: Up to 30 days after last dose of treatment ]Tabulated by regimen and by BRCA mutation status.
- Change in PARP inhibition in PBMCs [ Time Frame: Day 1 to day 22 (day 1 of course 1 to day 1 of course 2) ]PARP inhibition in PBMCs in each course (courses 1 and 2) and the change from course1 to course 2 will be summarized by dose level and regimen using descriptive statistics (e.g., mean, standard deviation, median, quartiles) and using graphs. In addition, linear models may be used to assess the association between PARP inhibition and dose level with transformations of the PARP inhibition as appropriate.
