Completed · Phase 2

Conditions studied: Ovarian Cancer, Primary Peritoneal Cancer

In brief

This study will evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of the combination of Gleevec and Gemzar in patients with ovarian cancer, who have progressed after receiving at least one prior chemotherapy treatment. Gleevec is an oral chemotherapy drug used is this study and Gemzar is an IV chemotherapy drug used.
