Purpose

Phase II single arm, open label, nonrandomized study. The aim of our study is to assess the Progression Free Survival (PFS) in suboptimally cytoreduced epithelial ovarian/ primary peritoneal/ fallopian tube cancer patients treated with the novel combination of carboplatin every 21 days (triweekly) /weekly paclitaxel IV with pembrolizumab IV followed by maintenance pembrolizumab IV.

Detailed Description

      Utilization of combination standard intravenous chemotherapy with intravenous pembrolizumab
      (for 6 cycles) in first line treatment of patients with advanced ovarian cancer post surgery
      with any residual disease. This will be followed by single agent intravenous pembrolizumab
      (every 3 weeks) for 12 additional cycles.

Primary Outcome Measures

Measure:Progression Free Survival (PFS) of combination platinum based therapy with anti-Programmed Death (PD)-1 therapy followed by maintenance anti-PD-1 therapy in patients with epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC).
Time Frame:24-48 months
Safety Issue:
Description:Time to progression free survival (PFS) is the period from study entry (first dose of therapy) until disease progression, death or date of last contact.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Measure:Overall Survival (OS) of combination platinum based therapy with anti-PD-1 therapy followed by maintenance anti-PD-1 therapy in patient with suboptimally cytoreduced epithelial ovarian cancer.
Time Frame:24-48 months
Safety Issue:
Description:Overall survival (OS) will be defined as observed length of life from entry into the protocol (first dose of therapy) to death, or for living patients, date of last contact (regardless of whether or not this contact is on a subsequent protocol.
Measure:Monitor quality of life during combination therapy and single agent maintenance therapy with anti-PD-1 therapy with the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy (FACT) surveys at intervals during therapy.
Time Frame:Every 6 months during treatment until 6 months after completion of therapy. 24-28 months
