Auranofin and Sirolimus in Treating Participants With Ovarian Cancer

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To estimate the overall tumor response rate (ORR, that is, complete response \[CR\] + partial response \[PR\]) of the combination of auranofin and sirolimus in the setting of metastatic serous ovarian cancer across all patients. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To estimate the overall tumor response rate (ORR, that is, complete response \[CR\] + partial response \[PR\]) of the combination of auranofin and sirolimus in the setting of metastatic serous ovarian cancer within patients that have overexpression of PKCiota. II. To estimate progression-free survival, overall survival, and adverse events from the combination of auranofin and sirolimus. CORRELATIVE OBJECTIVES: I. To explore whether PKCiota-relevant biomarkers in serous ovarian cancer tumors are associated with treatment response patterns, such as ORR, progression free survival, and overall survival. OUTLINE: Participants receive auranofin orally (PO) once daily (QD) and sirolimus PO QD on days 1-28. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unaccepted toxicity. After completion of study treatment, participants are followed up every 6 months for 3 years.
