Summary
This phase II trial test tests how well repurposing atovaquone works in treating patients with platinum-resistant ovarian cancer. Atovaquone is used for the treatment or prevention of certain infections. Atovaquone is in a class of medications called antiprotozoal agents. It works by stopping the growth of certain types of protozoa that can cause pneumonia. Giving atovaquone may be effective in treating platinum-resistant ovarian cancer and result in improved outcomes compared to standard chemotherapy regimens.
