Brief Summary: RATIONALE Chemoprevention is the use of certain drugs to keep cancer from forming growing or coming back The use of fenretinide may prevent ovarian cancer

PURPOSE This randomized clinical trial is studying how well fenretinide works in preventing ovarian cancer in participants who are at high risk of developing ovarian cancer and planning to undergo surgery to remove the ovaries
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Primary

Compare the induction of apoptosis as determined by TUNEL in the ovarian epithelial and stromal cells of participants at high risk for ovarian cancer treated with fenretinide vs placebo

Secondary

Compare modulation of several intermediate markers TGFβ BAX Ki-67 ER PR RARβ TGFβRI TGFβRII p21 p53 FAS and FASL in participants treated with these regimens
Compare early microvascular changes using contrast-enhanced ultrasound in participants treated with these drugs
Determine whether the use of contrast agents could indicate changes in ovarian size and architecture that may be assessed as potential surrogates for preventive effect in these participants
Determine the feasibility of future chemoprevention trials for ovarian cancer
Determine the toxicity of fenretinide in these participants
Compare the microvascularity index and ovarian volume of participants treated with these drugs
Correlate areas of increased microvascularity and other abnormalities with pathology findings obtained at oophorectomy in participants treated with these drugs

OUTLINE This is a randomized double-blind placebo-controlled multicenter study Participants are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms

Arm I Participants receive oral fenretinide once daily
Arm II Participants receive oral placebo once daily In both arms treatment continues for 6-8 weeks in the absence of unacceptable toxicity

Within 5 days after completion of fenretinide or placebo participants undergo bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy

Participants are followed at 6 weeks

PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 40 participants 20 per treatment arm will be accrued for this study within 4 years
