Brief Summary:
This randomized phase III trial studies the side effects of paclitaxel when given together with cisplatin or topotecan with or without bevacizumab and to compare how well they work in treating patients with stage IVB, cervical cancer that has come back or is persistent. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel, cisplatin, and topotecan, 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. Monoclonal antibodies, such as bevacizumab, may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. It is not yet known whether paclitaxel is more effective when given together with cisplatin or topotecan with or without bevacizumab in treating patients with cervical cancer.

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Overall Survival [ Time Frame: From entry into the study to death or the date of last contact, assessed up to 5 years ]
    The observed length of life from randomization into the study to death or the date of last contact.

  2. Progression-free Survival [ Time Frame: From study entry until disease progression, death or date of last contact, assessed up to 5 years (During treatment: every 3 weeks if by physical exam, every 6 weeks by CXR, CT or MRI. In follow-up: quarterly for 2 years then semi-annually for 3 years) ]
    Disease that can be assessed clinically (physical examination) should be evaluated every cycle (every 3 weeks). Disease assessed by imaging modalities (CXR, CT, MRI) should be evaluated every other cycle unless other evidence of a change mandates earlier assessment. Tumor measurements should also be done after the final cycle (if the patient is taken off of study therapy for a reason other than progression) and then every 3 months x 2 years (followed with every 6 months x 3 years) until progression is documented. "Progression is defined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0), as a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions assessed radiographically and 50% increase if the only target lesion is a solitary pelvic mass measured by physical exam, or unequivocal progression of a non-target lesion, or the appearance of new lesions", or similar definition as accurate and appropriate.

  3. Tumor Response [ Time Frame: Every cycle (if assessed by physical exam), every other cycle (if assessed by imaging), after the final cycle, then every 3 months x 2 years, then every 6 months x 3 years up to 5 years. ]
    Per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0) for target lesions and assessed by MRI: Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), >= 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions by CT, MRI or CXR. If the only target lesion is a solitary pelvic mass measured by physical exam, which is not radiographically measurable, a 50% increase in longest diameter is required; Overall Response (OR) = CR + PR.

  4. To Determine and Compare the Frequency and Severity of Adverse Events as Assessed by CTCAE Version 3.0 for the Regimens Administered on This Study. [ Time Frame: From date of enrollment until 30 days after treatment completion ]
    The number of patients on each arm who have Grade 3 AE or higher toxicity.


Other Outcome Measures:
  1. Extent of Nicotine Dependence [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]
    Assessed from answers the patients provide to a questionnaire. Will be assessed for associations with progression and/or death.

  2. Health-related Quality of Life [ Time Frame: Up to 9 months after course 1 ]
    Assessed by FACT-Cx TOI; FACT/GOG-Ntx4 subscale; and BPI at baseline, before courses 2 and 5, and at 6 and 9 months after course 1. The linear mixed model will be used to evaluate the hypotheses on FACT-Cx TOI score, adjusting for baseline FACT-Cx TOI scores and age. A mixed-effects mixed-distribution model will be considered to analyze NTx4 subscale scores and the BPI score. 95% confidence intervals will be reported for the estimated treatment differences of BPI score.

  3. Levels of Angiogenesis Markers in Plasma [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]
    Associations between biomarkers and overall survival or progression-free survival will be examined in a Cox proportional hazards model that includes significant prognostic variables based on prior research such as performance status, prior cisplatin therapy, and stage of disease. Logistic regression will be used to help assess the value of biomarkers in predicting response to a particular treatment or determine associations with response.

  4. Levels of Cell-free DNA in Plasma [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]
    Associations between biomarkers and overall survival or progression-free survival will be examined in a Cox proportional hazards model that includes significant prognostic variables based on prior research such as performance status, prior cisplatin therapy, and stage of disease. Logistic regression will be used to help assess the value of biomarkers in predicting response to a particular treatment or determine associations with response.

  5. Levels of Tumor Measures of Angiogenesis [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]
    Associations between biomarkers and overall survival or progression-free survival will be examined in a Cox proportional hazards model that includes significant prognostic variables based on prior research such as performance status, prior cisplatin therapy, and stage of disease. Logistic regression will be used to help assess the value of biomarkers in predicting response to a particular treatment or determine associations with response.

  6. Number of CTCs [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]
    Associations between biomarkers and overall survival or progression-free survival will be examined in a Cox proportional hazards model that includes significant prognostic variables based on prior research such as performance status, prior cisplatin therapy, and stage of disease. Logistic regression will be used to help assess the value of biomarkers in predicting response to a particular treatment or determine associations with response.

  7. Prevalence of Active Smoking [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]
    An estimate of the prevalence of active smoking will be calculated. Will be assessed for associations with progression and/or death.
