This phase II trial studies the side effects of PD 0360324 and cyclophosphamide and to see how well they work in treating patients with high-grade epithelial ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer that has come back after a period of improvement. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as PD 0360324, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Cyclophosphamide may stop the growth of disease by blocking the growth of new blood vessels necessary for tumor growth. Giving PD 0360324 and cyclophosphamide may work better in treating patients with high-grade epithelial ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To establish the safety of anti-CSF1 monoclonal antibody PD-0360324 (PD 0360324) followed by cyclophosphamide in patients with epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, and primary peritoneal cancers.

II. To examine the density of CD8+ T cells in tumor biopsies before and after PD 0360324.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To evaluate response rate and progression free survival associated with low dose oral cyclophosphamide after PD 0360324 treatment.

II. To evaluate M-CSF concentrations before and after treatment with PD 0360324 and during cyclophosphamide therapy.

TERTIARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To evaluate the immunologic effects of PD 0360324 on peripheral blood and ovarian cancer tissue.

II. To explore the relationships between drug concentration and immunologic biomarkers and response.

OUTLINE:

Patients receive anti-CSF1 monoclonal antibody PD 0360324 intravenously (IV) over 30 minutes on days 1, 8, 15, and 22. Starting on day 43, patients receive cyclophosphamide orally (PO) once daily (QD). Courses with cyclophosphamide repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 30 and 90 days.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Estimated creatinine clearance > 40 mL/min by the Cockcroft-Gault formula
• White blood cell (WBC) >= 3.0 x 10^3/ul
• Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) >= 1.5 x 10^9/L (> 1500 per mm^3)
• Platelet count >= 100 x 10^9/L (> 100,000 per mm^3)
• Hemoglobin >= 9.0 g/dL
• Female subjects must either be of non-reproductive potential (i.e., post-menopausal by history: >=60 years old and no menses for > 1 year without an alternative medical cause; OR history of hysterectomy, OR history of bilateral tubal ligation, OR history of bilateral oophorectomy) or must have a negative serum pregnancy test upon study entry
• Subject must be willing and able to comply with the protocol for the duration of the study including undergoing treatment and scheduled visits and examinations including follow up
• Signed informed consent for protocol PA13-0291

Exclusion Criteria:

• Absence of a biopsiable lesion as determined by radiologist

• Chemotherapy, hormonal, or biologic treatment for ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer in the last 21 days

• History of another primary malignancy except for:

  • Malignancy treated with curative intent and with no known active disease >=5 years before the first dose of study drug and of low potential risk for recurrence;
  • Adequately treated non-melanoma skin cancer or lentigo maligna without evidence of disease; or
  • Adequately treated carcinoma in situ without evidence of disease, e.g. cervical cancer in situ

• Current or prior use of immunosuppressive medication within 21 days before the first dose of PD 0360324, with the exceptions of intranasal and inhaled corticosteroids and systemic corticosteroids at physiological doses (defined as not exceeding 10 mg/day of prednisone, or an equivalent dose of over corticosteroid)

• Prior immunotherapy with immune checkpoint inhibitors

• Any unresolved toxicity (> Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events [CTCAE] grade 1) from previous anti-cancer therapy with the exception of alopecia; subjects with irreversible toxicity that is not reasonably expected to be exacerbated by the investigational product may be included (e.g., hearing loss, peripheral neuropathy)

• Subjects with an active infection requiring antibiotics or at an increased risk of latent infection that may affect safe study participation

• Subjects with existing periorbital edema

• Subjects with aspartate aminotransferase (AST) or alanine transaminase (ALT) >= 2 x upper limit of normal (ULN)

• Subjects with creatine kinase > ULN

• Subjects with clinically significant active ischemic heart disease, cardiac muscle disease (including cardiomyopathy or congestive heart failure) or myodegenerative disorders that may affect safe study participation

• Receipt of live attenuated vaccination within 30 days prior to study entry or within 30 days prior to study entry

• History of allergic or anaphylactic reaction to any therapeutic or diagnostic monoclonal antibody (IgG protein) or molecules made of components of monoclonal antibodies (e.g., Enbrel which is the Fc portion of an antibody or Lucentis which is a Fab)
