The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of fenretinide (4-HPR/LXS) plus ketoconazole in the treatment of recurrent ovarian cancer or primary peritoneal carcinoma. In addition, researchers would like to determine if the drugs are most effective together or if fenretinide (4-HPR/LXS) is most effective alone.
In this study, an initial Phase I component of six patients will be conducted to monitor for potential toxicities as this wil be the initial adult experience of fenretinide (4-HPR) given together with ketoconazole

Phase 2: Progression Free Survival
The objective response rate will be calculated as the percent of evaluable patients whose best response is a CR or PR, and assoicated exact 95% confidence intervals will be calculated. Time to treatment failure, duration of response and survival will be estimated using the product-limit method of Kaplan and Meier.
Time frame: From date of enrollment until date of documented progression or date of death (up to 48 months after last patient enters treatment)
Phase 2: Overall Survival
The objective response rate will be calculated as the percent of evaluable patients whose best response is a CR or PR, and assoicated exact 95% confidence intervals will be calculated. Time to treatment failure, duration of response and survival will be estimated using the product-limit method of Kaplan and Meier.
Time frame: From enrollment up to first date of progressive disease or death from any cause (up to 48 months after last patient entered treatment)
Phase 1: To determine the systemic toxicity profile of 4-HPR/LXS oral powder + ketoconazole
Toxicity information recorded will include the type, severity, time of onset, time of resolution, and the probable association with the study regimen.
Time frame: From time of first dose to the last (average 6 months)
Phase 2: Event Free Survival
The objective response rate will be calculated as the percent of evaluable patients whose best response is a CR or PR, and assoicated exact 95% confidence intervals will be calculated. Time to treatment failure, duration of response and survival will be estimated using the product-limit method of Kaplan and Meier.
Time frame: From enrollment up to the first date of progressive disease or death from any cause (up to 48 months after last patient entered on treatment)
