The purpose of this study is to find out if the study drug, HE4 has the potential to improve performance of biomarker CA 125 to determine recurrence of epithelial ovarian cancer before detecting the cancer clinically, surgically or through radiological scans. HE4 (Human Epididymis Protein 4) is a biomarker expressed in the normal lining of the female genital tract and breast. CA 125 is a protein found on the surface of ovarian cancer cells. Study visits will consist of 5 minute blood draws.
