This study will determine whether MK-4827 can be safely administered in combination with pegylated liposomal doxorubicin, and if so, will obtain an estimate of the benefit of the combination in patients with ovarian cancer as compared to historical data with single agent pegylated liposomal doxorubicin. The first part of the study (Part A) is designed to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and evaluate the safety of MK-4827, when administered in combination with pegylated liposomal doxorubicin. Part B is designed to assess preliminary clinical activity of MK-4827, when administered in combination with pegylated liposomal doxorubicin to participants with ovarian cancer. It is hypothesized that MK-4827 can be administered, in conjunction with pegylated liposomal doxorubicin, with acceptable tolerability and that MK-4827, administered in conjunction with pegylated liposomal doxorubicin, will demonstrate a tumor response rate equal or superior to that of historical data for pegylated liposomal doxorubicin alone.
The decision to discontinue new enrollment is not related to any concerns about the safety profile of the product.

Initial evaluation of a 16-day dosing schedule: A loading dose of MK-4827 will be administered orally on Days 1-2 of the cycle and a maintenance dose daily on Days 3-16. Pegylated liposomal doxorubicin 40 mg/m\^2 will be administered intravenously on Day 3 of each cycle. The maintenance dose of MK-4827 will be escalated, until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. If the maintenance dose is escalated above the loading dose, the loading dose will be escalated to a level equal to the maintenance dose, for the subsequent cycle. Other dosing schedules of MK-4827 may be explored, including 7-, 10-, 21- and 28-day schedules.
MK-4827 will be administered according to one or two dose schedules as determined in Part A. Pegylated liposomal doxorubicin 40 mg/m\^2 will be administered intravenously on Day 3 of the cycle.
Number of Participants with Dose-limiting Toxicities (DLTs)
Time frame: 28 days (one cycle of treatment)
Tumor response rate
A tumor response is defined as a complete response, partial response, or a sustained decrease in tumor marker levels.
Time frame: Every 8 weeks until disease progression
