Background Therapeutic Information In ovarian cancer, several single agent phase II trials of vinorelbine in recurrent OC have shown variable response rates of 3 - 30%. However, previous studies have involved "all-comers" and no reported trials have selected patients based on confirmed pure HGSOC or
This study is a progressive design with 2 discrete Parts (Part A: Dose escalation, Part B: Dose expansion. Cycle 1/Part A is a dose-finding assessment (dose escalation) to establish the MTD of Cantrixil when administered as a single dose once a week for 3 weeks. Cycle2/Part A continues with 3

Study Drugs:
Oblimersen is designed to stop the body from making a protein that makes melanoma cells resistant to chemotherapy drugs. This may make carboplatin and/or paclitaxel more effective.
Carboplatin is designed to interfere with the growth of cancer cells by stopping cell division, which may
The Study Drugs:
Everolimus is designed to stop cancer cells from multiplying. It may also stop the growth of new blood vessels that help tumor growth, which may cause the tumor cells to die.
Letrozole is designed to block chemical pathways that are necessary for tumor growth.
