Purpose

This pilot clinical trial studies auranofin in treating patients with epithelial ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer. Immunosuppressive therapy, such as auranofin, may be an effective treatment for epithelial ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian tube cancer.

Primary Outcome Measures:

Feasibility of conducting a 10-patient pilot study in asymptomatic ovarian cancer patients using CA 125 elevation [ Time Frame: Up to 2 years ]
To demonstrate the feasibility of conducting a 10-patient pilot study in asymptomatic ovarian cancer patients with CA 125 elevation. This study could potentially serve as a paradigm to investigate agents that might eventually be used as maintenance therapy in patients at high risk for recurrent disease.

Secondary Outcome Measures:

Immunohistochemical staining for PKCt expression in resected tumor samples with Auranofin [ Time Frame: up to 2 years ]
To explore whether immunohistochemical staining for PKCt expression in resected tumor samples appears to be associated with clinical outcomes with Auranofin.
Patients' perceptions of learning of CA 125 elevation [ Time Frame: up to 2 years ]
Oral gold therapy influence on the CA 125 levels [ Time Frame: 2 years ]
To explore whether oral gold therapy either stabilizes or lowers the CA 125 level and maintains patients in an asymptomatic state and to provide descriptive data on tumor response and duration of response.


Estimated Enrollment:	10
Study Start Date:	November 2012
Estimated Primary Completion Date:	September 2017 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)

Arms	Assigned Interventions
Experimental: Treatment (auranofin) Patients receive auranofin PO BID on days 1-28. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.	Drug: auranofin Given PO Other Name: Ridaura Other: laboratory biomarker analysis Correlative studies

Detailed Description:

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To demonstrate the feasibility of conducting a 10-patient pilot study in asymptomatic ovarian cancer patients with cancer antigen (CA 125) elevation.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To explore whether oral gold therapy either stabilizes or lowers the CA 125 level and maintains patients in an asymptomatic state and to provide descriptive data on tumor response and duration of response.

II. To acquire qualitative data on patients' perceptions of learning of CA 125 elevation.

III. To explore whether immunohistochemical staining for PKC iota expression in resected tumor samples appears to be associated with clinical outcomes with auranofin.

OUTLINE:

Patients receive auranofin orally (PO) twice daily (BID) on days 1-28. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 6 months for 2 years.

Ages Eligible for Study:	18 Years and older (Adult, Senior)
Sexes Eligible for Study:	Female
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:	No

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

Histological or cytological confirmation of epithelial ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian cancer from any previous time point
Completion of initial therapy of epithelial ovarian, primary peritoneal, or fallopian cancer from any previous time point (includes completion of surgery and/or followed by post-operative chemotherapy including maintenance) with no subsequent treatment for progressive disease
An increase in serum CA 125 level, as defined as follows: 1) normalization of the CA 125 during first-line chemotherapy followed by an increase of >= 100 units/mL; OR 2) normalization of the CA 125 during first-line chemotherapy followed by a doubling of the CA 125 beyond the upper limit of normal with a confirmatory measurement within a period of 4 weeks or less that shows the same or higher CA 125 level
Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (PS) 0, 1, or 2
Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) >= 1500
Platelets (PLT) >= 100,000
Hemoglobin (HgB) > 9.0 g/dL
Bilirubin < 1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN)
Creatinine within institutional normal limits
Negative urine pregnancy test done =< 7 days prior to registration, for women of childbearing potential only
Willingness to be interviewed by telephone about CA 125 elevation
Able to provide informed written consent
Willing to provide tissue blocks for correlative research purposes (please note that if tissue blocks are unavailable, the patient will still be eligible provided they meet all other eligibility criteria)

Exclusion Criteria:

Co-morbid systemic illnesses or other severe concurrent disease, which in the judgment of the treating oncologist, would make the patient inappropriate for entry into this study or interfere significantly with the proper assessment of safety and toxicity of the prescribed regimens
Symptoms (other than anxiety, depression, or other psychological symptoms) that, in the opinion, of the treating oncologist are a direct result of cancer recurrence; (examples of symptoms that would preclude enrollment include unintentional weight loss and new abdominal pain)
Receiving any other prescribed therapy treatment for ovarian cancer
Any of the following because this study involves an agent that has known genotoxic, mutagenic and teratogenic effects:
- Pregnant women
- Nursing women
- Women of childbearing potential who are unwilling to employ adequate contraception
