Brief Summary:
The main purpose of this study is to determine the effects (good and bad) Iressa plus anastrozole has on patients with relapsed ovarian cancer.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Ovarian Cancer Peritoneal Carcinoma Tubal Carcinoma Drug: Iressa (ZD1839) Drug: Arimidex (Anastrozole) Phase 2

Detailed Description:
  • Patients will receive Iressa and anastrozole orally once daily until treatment is ended. Treatment will end if any of the following occur: Unacceptable adverse effects; bowel obstruction; initiation of systemic chemotherapy; development of new ascites or pleural effusions, development of co-morbid disease or disease progression.
  • Patients will be given a drug log in which to record the date and time they take their pills, as well as any symptoms and concomitant medications.
  • Patients will be seen monthly for the following tests and procedures; a physical examination and repeat blood work. Patients who remain free of clinical symptoms should have repeat abdominal/pelvic CT scans and chest x-rays on an every 3 month basis.
