Eligible patients who enroll in the study will be randomly assigned (by chance) to this phase II/III trial that studies how well Trametinib works and compares it to standard treatment with either Letrozole, Tamoxifen citrate, Paclitaxel, Pegylated Liposomal Doxorubicin Hydrochloride, or Topotecan hydrochloride in treating patients with low-grade ovarian cancer or peritoneal cavity cancer that has come back, become worse, or spread to other parts of the body. Phase II: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety. Phase III: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely. Trametinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. It is not yet known whether trametinib is more effective than standard therapy in treating patients with ovarian or peritoneal (lining of the abdomen) cavity cancer.
