Intervention description: Given PO; Correlative studies; Given PO
Intervention MeSH terms: Sirolimus; Auranofin
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional
Primary purpose: Treatment
Intervention model: Single Group Assignment
Masking: None (Open Label)
Enrollment: 22.0
Sex: Female

Summary:

      This phase II trial studies how well auranofin and sirolimus work in treating participants
      with ovarian cancer. Immunosuppressive therapy, such as auranofin and sirolimus, is used to
      decrease the body?s immune response and may increase blood cell count.
