This is a prospective, single-arm, open label study of daily oral losartan in combination with intravenous weekly paclitaxel in patients with platinum resistant ovarian cancer. The primary endpoint of this study is overall response rate (ORR) and the secondary endpoint is progression free survival. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not approved losartan for this specific disease but it has been approved for other uses. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved paclitaxel as a treatment option for this disease. This research study involves screening for eligibility, study treatment with the study drugs, and study visits. Participants will receive study treatment until disease progression, withdrawal, or unacceptable side effects are experienced. Participants that stop study treatment due to disease progression will be followed for 30 days. Participants that stop study treatment due to an unacceptable side effect will have visits and imaging scans every 9 weeks until a different treatment is started. It is expected that about 27 people will take part in this research study.
