Summary:

      RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as docetaxel, work in different ways to stop the
      growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing.
      Vandetanib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell
      growth and by blocking blood flow to the tumor. It is not yet known whether docetaxel is more
      effective when given alone or together with vandetanib.

      PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying docetaxel given together with or without
      vandetanib to see how well it works in treating patients with persistent or recurrent ovarian
      epithelial cancer, fallopian tube cancer, or primary peritoneal cancer.
