Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 269240 0
To demonstrate the potential activity of bevacizumab to reduce the formation or delay the re-accumulation of malignant ascites. This outcome is assessed as the median time from first to second therapeutic ascitic drainage.
Timepoint [1] 269240 0
Six weeks following the second therapeutic ascitic drainage where intraperitoneal bevacizumab is administered
Secondary outcome [1] 279197 0
To evaluate the safety of bevacizumab given via the intra-peritoneal route. This outcome will be assessed as the rates of serious complications including (a) bowel perforations, (b) Grade 3/4 toxicities (by CTCAE V4.0) attributable to bevacizumab).
Timepoint [1] 279197 0
Within three months after the first intraperitoneal administration of bevacizumab
Secondary outcome [2] 279198 0
To evaluate the activity of a second dose of intraperitoneal bevacizumab to reduce the formation or delay the re-accumulation of malignant ascites. This outcome is assessed as the median time from second to third therapeutic ascitic drainage.
Timepoint [2] 279198 0
This outcome assessment will be the date a third therapeutic drainage is performed
Secondary outcome [3] 279199 0
To evaluate changes in the quality of life of women receiving IP bevacuzimab for the treatment of symptomatic ascites using the QLQC30/OV28 validated instruments
Timepoint [3] 279199 0
Within three months after the first intraperitoneal administration of bevacizumab

Summary
Brief summary
This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of intraperitoneal administration (injection into the abdomen) of a drug called bevacizumab in patients with ascites due to advanced chemotherapy resistant gynaecological cancers. Who is it for? You may be eligible join this study if you are a female aged 18 years or more and have symptomatic ascites due to chemotherapy resistant gynaecological cancer. You must have required at least one therapeutic ascitic draining in the 4 weeks prior to study registration. Trial details All participants in this trial will undergo therapeutic draining of malignant ascites as per local institutional protocol. This will then be followed by intraperitoneal administration (injection into the abdomen) of the drug bevacizumab at a dose of 5mg/kg. This treatment may be repeated while on study. Participants will be assessed to determine whether this treatment can reduce the formation of ascites and delay the time to re-accumulation of ascitic fluid. The duration of participation will up to three months after the initial on-study ascitic drainage and bevacizumab infusion.
