Participant has just completed primary debulking surgery or is eligible for primary debulking surgery or is a potential candidate for interval debulking surgery. 3. Participant is a candidate for carboplatin and paclitaxel chemotherapy, to be administered in the adjuvant or neoadjuvant setting 4. Participant that is a candidate for neoadjuvant chemotherapy has a CA-125 (kilounits/L):carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA; ng/mL) ratio greater than or equal to 25 5. Participant is able to provide a newly obtained core or excisional biopsy of a tumor lesion for prospective testing of BRCA1/2 and PD-L1 status prior to randomization 6. Participant is female and at least 18 years of age on the day of signing informed consent 7. Participant has an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1, as assessed within 7 days prior to initiating chemotherapy in the Lead-in Period and within 3 days prior to Day 1 of Cycle 1. 8. A female participant is eligible to participate if she is not pregnant or breastfeeding, and at least 1 of the following conditions applies: •Is not a woman of childbearing potential (WOCBP) OR •Is a WOCBP and using a contraceptive method that is highly effective (with a failure rate of <1% per year), with low user dependency, or be abstinent from heterosexual intercourse as their preferred and usual lifestyle (abstinent on a long-term and persistent basis), during the Treatment Period and for at least 120 days following the last dose of pembrolizumab (or pembrolizumab placebo) and bevacizumab (if administered), at least 180 days following the last dose of olaparib (or olaparib placebo), and at least 210 days following the last dose of chemotherapy and agrees not to donate eggs (ova, oocytes) to others or freeze/store for her own use for the purpose of reproduction during this period. The investigator should evaluate the potential for contraceptive method failure (ie, noncompliance, recently initiated) in relationship to the first dose of study treatment. • A WOCBP must have a negative highly sensitive pr qegnancy test (urine or serum as required by local regulations) within either 24 hours (urine) or 72 hours (serum) before the first dose of study treatment. • If a urine test cannot be confirmed as negative (eg, an ambiguous result), a serum pregnancy test is required. In such cases, the participant must be excluded from participation if the serum pregnancy result is positive. • The investigator is responsible for review of medical history, menstrual history, and recent sexual activity to decrease the risk for inclusion of a woman with an early undetected pregnancy. • Contraceptive use by women should be consistent with local regulations regarding the methods of contraception for those participating in clinical studies. If the contraception requirements in the local label for any of the study interventions is more stringent than the requirements above, the local label requirements are to be followed. 9. The participant (or legally acceptable representative if applicable) provides written informed consent for the study. The participant may also provide consent for future biomedical research; however, the participant may participate in the main study without participating in future biomedical research 10. Participant has adequate organ function; all screening laboratory tests should be performed within 7 days prior to starting chemotherapy in the Lead-in Period.
