Oral Minoxidil for the Treatment of Recurrent Platinum Resistant Epithelial Ovarian Cancer

Description

The primary purpose of this study is to determine the response rate of patients with recurrent platinum resistant ovarian cancer when treated with oral minoxidil. Secondary objectives include estimating the time to disease progression while on minoxidil and to describe the toxicities of minoxidil when used for patients with recurrent platinum resistant ovarian cancer. An exploratory objective is to evaluate if efficacy of minoxidil is improved in patients that have the Kir6/SUR complex versus those that do not.
