Summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as capecitabine, irinotecan, and oxaliplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) may kill more tumor cells. Monoclonal antibodies, such as bevacizumab, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some find tumor cells and kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. Others interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Bevacizumab may also block blood flow to the tumor. Giving combination chemotherapy together with bevacizumab may kill more tumor cells.

PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of capecitabine when given together with irinotecan and oxaliplatin with or without bevacizumab and to see how well they work in treating patients with metastatic or locally advanced colorectal cancer or other solid tumors that cannot be removed by surgery.

Conditions

Interventions

BIOLOGICAL

bevacizumab

Phase II: IV over 30-90 minutes on days 1 and 15 of each course.

DRUG

capecitabine

Phase I: oral capecitabine twice daily on days 1-7 and 15-21.Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of capecitabine (during both odd- and even-numbered courses) until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined.Phase II:receive capecitabine (at the MTD determined in phase I(odd-numbered courses)

DRUG

irinotecan hydrochloride

Phase I: irinotecan hydrochloride IV over 90 minutes on days 1 and 15 during course 1 and all subsequent odd-numbered courses. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.Phase II: receive capecitabine (at the MTD determined in phase I) in combination with irinotecan hydrochloride (during odd-numbered courses)

DRUG

oxaliplatin

Phase I: oxaliplatin IV over 2 hours on days 1 and 15 during course 2 and all subsequent even-numbered courses. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Phase II: oxaliplatin (during even-numbered courses) as in phase I
