Inclusion Criteria * Age 18 years and above. There will be no upper age restriction * ECOG performance status 0-2 * Participants must have histologically confirmed diagnosis of unresectable metastatic AA. The determination of appendiceal origin may rely on pathologic features combined with clinical or radiographic evidence in the event that the appendix remains in situ. * Participants will have undergone no more than two prior lines of systemic therapy. The last dose of systemic therapy will have been no less than 2 weeks prior to initiation of therapy. * Participants must have adequate nutrition and normal bowel motility and function as evidenced by albumin \> 3.0 and no history of intestinal bypass or diverting enterostomy. * Demonstrate adequate organ function as determined by the following requirements: o Hematology * No use of any blood components and cell growth factor supportive therapy within 7 days prior to initiation of study treatment * Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1,500/mm3 (ANC ≥ 1000/mm3 for African American participants) * Platelet count ≥ 100 × 109/L (100,000/mm3) * Hemoglobin ≥ 9.0 g/dL. o Kidney: * Creatinine clearance\* (CrCL) ≥ 50 mL/min using the Cockcroft-Gault formula or estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) value ≥50 mL/min using the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) equation (adjustment by body surface area \[BSA\] is not required for eGFR). \*CrCL or eGFR can be determined using the calculator from the National Kidney Foundation website (www.kidney.org). * Urine protein \< 2+ or 24-hour urine protein quantification \< 1.0 g o Liver: * Serum total bilirubin (TBIL) ≤ 1.5 × upper limit of normal (ULN); for participants with confirmed/suspected Gilbert syndrome, TBIL ≤3 x ULN * Aspartate transaminase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≤ 2.5 ULN * Coagulation: prothrombin time (PT) or international normalized ratio (INR) ≤ 1.5 × ULN, and partial thromboplastic time (PTT) or activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) ≤ 1.5 × ULN (unless abnormalities are unrelated to coagulopathy). This applies only to participants who are not on therapeutic anti-coagulation. Participants receiving therapeutic anti-coagulation should be on a stable dose * The effects of PTX and Ivonescimab on the developing human fetus are unknown. Taxane agents are known to be teratogenic. Additionally, based on Ivonescimab's mechanism of action, it may cause fetal harm if administered to a pregnant woman. For this reason, women of childbearing potential and men must agree to use adequate contraception (hormonal or barrier method of birth control; abstinence) prior to study entry and for the duration of study participation until 6 months after the last dose of Ivonescimab. (Refer to Pregnancy Assessment Policy UT MD Anderson Institutional Policy # CLN1114). This includes all female participants, between the onset of menses (as early as 8 years of age) and 55 years unless the participant presents with an applicable exclusionary factor which may be one of the following: * Postmenopausal (no menses in greater than or equal to 12 consecutive months) * History of hysterectomy or bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy * Ovarian failure (Follicle Stimulating Hormone and Estradiol in menopausal range, who have received Whole Pelvic Radiation Therapy) * History of bilateral tubal ligation or another surgical sterilization procedure * Approved methods of birth control are as follows: Hormonal contraception (i.e., birth control pills, injection, implant, transdermal patch, vaginal ring), Intrauterine device (IUD), Tubal Ligation or hysterectomy, Subject/Partner post vasectomy, Implantable or injectable contraceptives, and condoms plus spermicide. Not engaging in sexual activity for the total duration of the trial and the drug washout period is an acceptable practice; however periodic abstinence, the rhythm method, and the withdrawal method are not acceptable methods of birth control. Should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while she or her partner is participating in this study, she should inform her treating physician immediately. * Unsterilized male participants having sex with a female partner of childbearing potential, or a pregnant or breastfeeding partner must agree to use barrier contraception (male condom) for the duration of the treatment period until 6 months after last dose of Ivonescimab or chemotherapy. Male participants with female partners of childbearing potential must have the female partner agree to use at least 1 form of highly effective contraception for the duration of treatment period until 6 months after last dose of Ivonescimab. * Female participants of childbearing age must have a negative serum pregnancy test result before enrollment and a negative urine pregnancy test on the day of first dose prior to dosing. * Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document * Participants with a prior or concurrent malignancy whose natural history or treatment does not interfere with the safety or efficacy assessment of the investigational regimen are eligible for this trial. Exclusion Criteria * Metastases outside the peritoneal cavity, with exception of limited metastases to the thoracic cavity and/or limited retroperitoneal lymphadenopathy * Previous surgery that would preclude safe diagnostic laparoscopy with port placement * Current presence of significant radiographic or clinical/radiographic manifestations of gastrointestinal obstruction.
