Brief summary:
This phase II trial studies the side effects and how well sunitinib malate works in treating patients with recurrent ovarian epithelial, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer. Sunitinib malate may inhibit the ability of cancers to grow blood vessels, something they need to grow. It may also shrink tumors.

Detailed description:
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To assess the efficacy (response rate) of sunitinib (sunitinib malate) given orally daily in patients with advanced or metastatic previously treated epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal carcinoma.

II. To assess the toxicity of sunitinib in patients with advanced or metastatic previously treated epithelial ovarian, fallopian tube or primary peritoneal carcinoma.

III. To document cancer antigen 125 (CA125) response rate, early objective progression rate, and, if objective responses are observed, response duration.

OUTLINE:

Patients receive sunitinib malate orally (PO) once daily (QD) on days 1-28. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 4 weeks and then every 3 months thereafter.

Arms:
arm 1: Patients receive sunitinib malate PO QD on days 1-28. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Interventions: intervention 1: sunitinib malate intervention 2: laboratory biomarker analysis
Intervention descriptions: intervention 1: Given PO intervention 2: Correlative studies
