This trial is a randomized, open-label Phase I-2 multi-center study designed to evaluate the effect of Carboplatin-Paclitaxel-Bevacizumab (in combination and maintenance) vs Carboplatin-Paclitaxel-Bevacizumab-Rucaparib (Rucaparib only in maintenance) vs Carboplatin-Paclitaxel-Rucaparib (Rucaparib only in maintenance) on progression-free survival in patients with advanced high grade ovarian cancer treated according to HRD status . The trial will test the hypothesis that Carboplatin-Paclitaxel-Bevacizumab-Rucaparib and the Carboplatin-Paclitaxel-Rucaparib arms will improve the progression-free survival in comparison to standard Carboplatin-Paclitaxel-Bevacizumab in HRD negative (HR proficient) patients and that Carboplatin-Paclitaxel-Bevacizumab-Rucaparib will improve PFS with respect to Carboplatin-Paclitaxel-Rucaparib in HRD positive patients. The randomized phase of the study will be preceded by a single arm Phase I study which will be conducted only in the National Cancer Institute of Milan, aiming at evaluating the MTD of the combination Rucaparib-Bevacizumab. Once the MTD has been reached, the randomized study will start.
Phase I study design: This is a single-centre, Phase I, open-label, dose-escalation study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of bevacizumab-rucaparib combination and determine the MTD in patients with advanced epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer. The dose of bevacizumab is fixed in cohort 1, 2 and 3 of the study at 15mg/kg, q 3 weekly. The dose of rucaparib is evaluated in three cohorts (400 mg BID; 500 mg BID; 600 mg BID). This trial will enroll at least 3 patients in cohort 1 with dose escalation to rucaparib 500 mg from cohort 1 to 2. Cohort 2 will enroll at least 3 patients with dose escalation to rucaparib 600 mg from cohort 2 to 3. The standard 3+3 design will be used. Patients will be enrolled in cohort of 3 patients, if no DLT event will be reported among the first 3 patients, a second cohort will be enrolled at the upper dose level. If 1 DLT event is registered in the first cohort, other 3 patients will be enrolled at the same dose. Phase II study design: Eligible patients with histological documented high grade Stage IIIB-IIIC-IV ovarian cancer (regardless of residual tumor) will be randomized 1:1:1 according to a molecular driven treatment. HRD positive patients: * ARM B: Carboplatin AUC 5 + Paclitaxel 175 mg/m2 q 21 for 6 cycles followed by Rucaparib 600 mg BID q 28 for 24 cycles as maintenance * ARM C: Carboplatin AUC 5+ Paclitaxel 175 mg/m2 q 21 + Bevacizumab 15 mg/kg for 6 cycles followed by Bevacizumab 15 mg/kg q 21 days for 16 cycles (Bevacizumab will start from Cycle 2) + Rucaparib 500 mg part BID q 28 for 24 cycles as maintenance HRD negative patients: * ARM A: Carboplatin AUC 5 + Paclitaxel 175 mg/m2 q 21 + Bevacizumab 15 mg/kg for 6 cycles followed by Bevacizumab 15 mg/kg q 21 for 16 cycles (Bevacizumab will start from Cycle 2) * ARM B: Carboplatin AUC 5 + Paclitaxel 175 mg/m2 q 21 for 6 cycles followed by Rucaparib 600 mg BID q 28 for 24 cycles as maintenance Stratification factors are: * Residual tumor at primary surgery (RT=0 vs RT\> 0) * Neoadiuvant chemotherapy (Yes or not)

RECRUITINGPhase I Primary Objective: MTD
To identify the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of the combination Rucaparib-Bevacizumab in stage IIIB-C-IV ovarian cancer patients
Time frame: 4 months
Phase II Primary Objective: PFS
To compare progression-free survival (PFS) of patients with advanced ovarian, primary peritoneal and Fallopian tube cancer when treated with Carboplatin-Paclitaxel-Bevacizumab vs Carboplatin-Paclitaxel-Bevacizumab-Rucaparib vs carboplatin-Paclitaxel-Rucaparib according to Homologous Recombination Deficient (HRD) status.
Time frame: from the date of randomization to the date of documented progression disease, recurrence or death (whichever occurs first), assessed up to 64 months
Phase I Secondary Objectives: toxicity of the Rucaparib-Bevacizumab combination in terms of haematologic and non haematologic events
Toxicity will be evaluated according to U.S. NCI Common Toxicity Criteria version 4.03
Time frame: 4 months
Phase I Secondary Objectives: maximum plasma concentration (Cmax at Steady State) of Rucaparib
The evaluation of the effect of bevacizumab on rucaparib Cmax at SS will be performed by comparing (in each individual patient) the Cmax during cycle 1, on days 1 and 21, with the Cmax obtained on day -7 in which only Rucaparib will be administered. For these parameters, the following descriptive statistics will be calculated: mean, standard deviation, coefficient of variation, median, and geometric mean.

Phase I Secondary Objectives: minimal plasma concentration (Cmin at Steady State) of Rucaparib
The evaluation of the effect of bevacizumab on rucaparib Cmin at SS will be performed by comparing (in each individual patient) the Cmin during cycle 1, on days 1 and 21, with the Cmax obtained on day -7 in which only Rucaparib will be administered.
