Once deemed stable in the first 1-3 post-operative days, patients will be receive age-based ketorolac (30 mg \<65, 15mg \> 65) daily for three days

Once deemed stable in the first 1-3 post-operative days, patients will be receive placebo daily for three days

Ketorolac tromethine 15 mg or 30 mg doses will be administered via intravenous (IV) push undiluted over 15 - 30 seconds

Ketorolac will be dosed according to FDA approved recommendations. For planned three daily dose (IV) based on clinical scenario:

* Patients \< 65 years of age: Daily dose of 30 mg for three doses.
* Patients ≥ 65 years of age, renally impaired and/or less than 50 kg (110 lbs) of body weight: Daily dose of 15 mg for three doses

Blood and peritoneal fluid will be drawn prior to each dose (time 0, 24, 48, 72 hr) as well as at 6 hr after the first dose

Equivalent volume of normal saline will be set in the syringe for each daily dose registered for the patient in a blinded fashion. The volume will be determined by the dose calculation as follows: For planned three daily dose (IV) based on clinical scenario:

* Patients \< 65 years of age: Daily dose of 30 mg for three doses.
* Patients ≥ 65 years of age, renally impaired and/or less than 50 kg (110 lbs) of body weight: Daily dose of 15 mg for three doses.

Blood and peritoneal fluid will be drawn prior to each dose (time 0, 24, 48, 72 hr) as well as at 6 hr after the first dose

There is a move towards personalized medicine in cancer care, and significant effort is underway to evaluate new targeted therapeutics for the treatment of ovarian cancer. One way to identify potential new drug targets is by screening a drug library to determine whether drugs in the library target key kinase or enzymatic sites in cellular signaling pathways. Previous preclinical work and pilot studies demonstrated that ketorolac (a type of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug) inhibits GTPase activity in ovarian cancer cells retrieved from the post-operative peritoneal cavity.

The purpose of this study is to confirm that this inhibitory effect is ketorolac driven and not a specific effect of the post-operative peritoneal compartment.

Drug repurposing, screening a library of FDA approved agents, can identify agents that are clinically available and for which pharmacology and pharmacokinetics are known and preclinical data can be generated rapidly without the subsequent need for GMP (good manufacturing practice) new drug production. Small GTPases, including members of the Rab, Ras and Rho families, are attractive targets for the development of cancer therapeutics based on their pivotal roles in protein trafficking, proliferation/survival and cytoskeletal organization, respectively. Ketorolac tromethamine is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug that was identified in previous in-silico drug screens to be an inhibitor of GTPases. In a previous phase 0 clinical study, ketorolac was administered intravenously to ovarian cancer patients following optimal cytoreductive surgery. Ovarian cancer cells were obtained at the time of surgery, prior to ketorolac administration, and at various times after ketorolac dosing. Analysis of GTPase activity in these specimens showed a time-dependent inhibition of Rac1 and Cdc42 GTPase activity. The purpose of this study is to confirm that the effect is ketorolac driven and not a specific effect of the post-operative peritoneal compartment.

A Randomized Placebo-controlled Evaluation of GTPase Inhibition by Post-operative Intravenous Ketorolac in Ovarian Cancer Patients

Time from treatment to death due to any cause

Time from treatment to progressive disease or death due to any cause

Ovarian cancer cells retrieved from the post-debulked peritoneal cavity after three intravenous dosings of ketorolac will be evaluated for GTPase activity using cell-based laboratory assays

Serum and intraperitoneal concentrations of ketorolac will be assessed over time using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)

CA-125 will be measured using a standard laboratory assay

Subjective/objective evidence of developing drug toxicity will be evaluated according to NCI-CTC toxicity criteria (CTCAE version 3.0)
