Lapatinib and Topotecan in Treating Patients With Ovarian Epithelial Cancer or Primary Peritoneal Cancer That Did Not Respond to Cisplatin or Carboplatin

Completed · Phase 2

Conditions studied: Ovarian Cancer, Peritoneal Cavity Cancer

In brief

RATIONALE: Lapatinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as topotecan, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving lapatinib together with topotecan may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving lapatinib together with topotecan works in treating patients with ovarian epithelial cancer or primary peritoneal cancer that did not respond to cisplatin or carboplatin.
