PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To determine the maximum-tolerated dose (MTD) and dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) of intraperitoneal (IP) bortezomib (BTZ) when administered with intraperitoneal carboplatin in women with epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer that is persistent or recurrent and who have failed primary therapy and at least one second-line therapy.
II. To examine the safety of administering BTZ in combination with carboplatin by the IP route.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To estimate objective tumor response rate as determined by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1 criteria.
II. To determine the pharmacokinetic profile of BTZ and carboplatin when administered intraperitoneally once every 21 days.
III. To characterize the frequency of carboplatin hypersensitivity reactions (HSR) when administered as an intraperitoneal infusion in the context of recurrent ovarian cancer.
OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study of bortezomib.
Patients receive bortezomib intraperitoneally (IP) and carboplatin IP on day 1. Treatment repeats every 21 days for 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 3 months for 1 year.

- Dose-limiting toxicities defined by drug-related adverse events which occur in association with the first course of treatment as evaluated by the NCI CTCAE version 4 unless clearly unrelated to study drugs (e.g., disease progression) [ Time Frame: 21 days ]
- Frequency and severity of toxicities as assessed by NCI CTCAE version 4 [ Time Frame: Up to 1 year ]
- Objective tumor response (complete and partial response) [ Time Frame: Up to 1 year ]Objective tumor response will be tabulated by regimen.
- Progression free survival [ Time Frame: Time from study entry to time of progression or death, whichever occurs first, assessed up to 1 year ]Will be summarized using Kaplan-Meier plots.
- Pharmacokinetic parameters [ Time Frame: 10 minutes prior to infusion; immediately following infusion; 15, 30 and 60 minutes after infusion; immediately following carboplatin; 90 minutes after infusion; and 2, 4, and 6 hours after infusion ]Descriptive analysis will be given for the pharmacokinetic parameters of bortezomib and carboplatin.

-
Patients must have either measurable disease or detectable disease:
- Measurable disease will be defined by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1; measureable disease is defined as at least one lesion that can be accurately measured in at least one dimension (longest dimension to be recorded); each lesion must be >= 10 mm when measured by computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or caliper measurement by clinical exam; or >= 20 mm when measured by chest x-ray; lymph nodes must be >= 15 mm in short axis when measured by CT or MRI
-
Detectable disease is defined in a patient as one who does not have measurable disease but has at least one of the following conditions:
- Baseline values of cancer antigen (CA)-125 at least twice the upper limit of normal
- Ascites and/or pleural effusion attributed to tumor
- Solid and/or cystic abnormalities on radiographic imaging that do not meet RECIST 1.1 definitions for target lesions
- In addition, patients are allowed to undergo surgical cytoreduction of relapsed disease as proof of detectable disease at the discretion of their treating physician; if performed to allow participation in this protocol, the operative and pathology reports will be required for submission
