Brief Summary
This phase II trial studies the side effects of bevacizumab and anetumab ravtansine or paclitaxel in treating patients with ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer that does not respond to treatment (refractory). Bevacizumab is a monoclonal antibody that may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Anetumab ravtansine is a drug that targets a protein in the body called mesothelin, which can be found in some ovarian, pancreatic and other tumors. Chemotherapy drugs, such as paclitaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. It is not yet known whether giving bevacizumab and anetumab ravtansine or paclitaxel may work better in treating patients with ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer.

Conditions
Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Progression free survival (PFS)
PFS will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method and compared between groups with log rank test. Summary statistics will be provided, such as the median, 6-month and estimates, along with 95% confidence intervals. Plots will also be constructed which show the PFS estimate and 95% confidence intervals.
From the time of treatment start assessed up to 1 year
Secondary Outcomes (1)
Response rate assessed using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors
Up to 1 year
Study Arms (2)
GROUP I (anetumab ravtansine, bevacizumab)
EXPERIMENTALPatients receive anetumab ravtansine IV over 1 hour on days 1, 8, 15, and 22 and bevacizumab over 30-90 minutes IV on days 1 and 15. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
GROUP II (paclitaxel, bevacizumab)
EXPERIMENTALPatients receive paclitaxel on days 1, 8, 15, and 22 and bevacizumab over 30-90 minutes IV on days 1 and 15. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Patients must have histologically or cytologically confirmed high grade serous or high grade endometrioid ovarian, fallopian tube, primary peritoneal cancer
- Patients must have platinum resistant (platinum-free interval \< 6 months) or platinum refractory disease as per Gynecological Cancer Intergroup (GCIC) criteria
- Patients must have radiologic evidence of disease progression
- Criteria only for the randomized phase 2 part: patients must have measurable disease, defined as at least one lesion that can be accurately measured in at least one dimension (longest diameter to be recorded for non-nodal lesions and short axis for nodal lesions) as \>= 20 mm with conventional techniques or as \>= 10 mm with spiral computed tomography (CT) scan, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or calipers by clinical exam
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status =\< 2 (Karnofsky \>= 60%)
- Leukocytes \>= 3 x 10\^9/L
- Absolute neutrophil count \>= 1.5 x 10\^9/L
- Platelets \>= 100 x 10\^9/L
- Total bilirubin =\< upper limit of normal (ULN) (except in Gilbert's syndrome)
- Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase \[SGOT\])/alanine aminotransferase (ALT) (serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase \[SGPT\]) =\< 2.5 x institutional upper limit of normal (ULN)
- Serum creatinine =\< 1.5 x ULN OR creatinine clearance \>= 50 mL/min/1.73 m\^2 for patients with creatinine levels above 1.5 x institutional normal (using the Cockcroft Gault formula)
- Urine protein / creatinine ratio (UPCR) =\< 1
- Ongoing prior toxicities related to previous treatments must be recovered to \< grade 2 at the time of registration (with the exception of alopecia, grade 2 peripheral neuropathy or lymphopenia)
- Criteria only for the randomized phase 2 part: mesothelin screen positive determined from archival tumor tissue and to be performed centrally. MSLN-positive is defined as \>= 30% of tumor cells with membrane staining intensities \>= 2+. If an archival tumor specimen is unavailable, or unsuitable for mesothelin testing, a pre-treatment fresh tumor biopsy is required
- For the run-in-phase 1, patients will not be selected based on the mesothelin expression
- +2 more criteria
You may not qualify if:
- Patients who have had chemotherapy or radiotherapy within 4 weeks (6 weeks for nitrosoureas or mitomycin C) prior to entering the study
- Patients who are receiving any other investigational agents
- History of severe allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to bevacizumab, anetumab ravtansine or paclitaxel
- Patients receiving any medications or substances that are strong inhibitors or inducers of CYP3A4 are ineligible. Because the lists of these agents are constantly changing, it is important to regularly consult a frequently-updated list or medical reference texts such as the Physicians' Desk Reference may also provide this information. As part of the enrollment/informed consent procedures, the patient will be counseled on the risk of interactions with other agents, and what to do if new medications need to be prescribed or if the patient is considering a new over-the-counter medicine or herbal product. Strong inhibitors and inducers of CYP3A4 are prohibited within 2 weeks before the start of and during treatment. Strong inhibitors and inducers of CYP2C8 should be used with caution; the PI of the study is to be consulted regarding their use
- Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements
- Pregnant women are excluded from this study because of the potential for teratogenic or abortifacient effects. Because there is an unknown but potential risk for adverse events in nursing infants secondary to treatment of the mother, breastfeeding should be discontinued during the study and for at least 6 months after last dose of study drugs. These potential risks may also apply to other agents used in this study. Women of child-bearing potential who do not agree to use adequate contraceptive measures during study therapy and for at least 6 months after the completion of study therapy will be excluded. Should a patient become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while she is participating in this study, the patient should inform the treating physician immediately
- Serious or non-healing wound, ulcer or bone fracture
- History of abdominal fistula, gastrointestinal perforation or intra-abdominal abscess within 6 months prior to day 1
- Invasive procedures defined as follows:
- Major surgical procedure or significant traumatic injury within 28 days prior to day 1 therapy, or open biopsy within 7 days prior to day 1 therapy
- Anticipation of need for major surgical procedures during the course of the study
- Significant vascular disease (e.g., aortic aneurysm, requiring surgical repair or recent peripheral arterial thrombosis) within 6 months prior to day 1
- Patients with clinically significant cardiovascular disease are excluded
- Inadequately controlled hypertension (HTN) (systolic blood pressure \[SBP\] \> 160 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure \[DBP\] \> 90 mmHg despite antihypertensive medication)
- History of cerebrovascular accident (CVA) within 6 months
- +12 more criteria
