Summary

This study tests whether atovaquone, a drug normally used for infections, can help people with a type of ovarian cancer that no longer responds to standard platinum chemotherapy. About 28 adults with this resistant cancer will take atovaquone to see if it slows tumor growth. The goal is to find a new treatment option when standard ones stop working.
