AEG35156 and Docetaxel in Treating Patients With Locally Advanced, Metastatic, or Recurrent Solid Tumors

Summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as docetaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. AEG35156 may help docetaxel work better by making tumor cells more sensitive to the drug.

PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of AEG35156 when given together with docetaxel in treating patients with locally advanced, metastatic, or recurrent solid tumors.

Conditions

• Unspecified Adult Solid Tumor, Protocol Specific

Interventions

DRUG

AEG35156

After a recommended phase II dose (RPTD) of AEG35156 has been determined with docetaxel 75 mg/m2, patients will be accrued to the RPTD-1 plus docetaxel 100 mg/m2, and possibly RPTD plus docetaxel 100 mg/m2, to determine the RPTD of AEG35156 in combination with docetaxel 100 mg/m2 given every three weeks.

DRUG

docetaxel

After a recommended phase II dose (RPTD) of AEG35156 has been determined with docetaxel 75 mg/m2, patients will be accrued to the RPTD-1 plus docetaxel 100 mg/m2, and possibly RPTD plus docetaxel 100 mg/m2, to determine the RPTD of AEG35156 in combination with docetaxel 100 mg/m2 given every three weeks.

protein expression analysis

Cycle 1: Pre-dose on Days -2, 1, 8 and 15; repeat every 2-4 days if LFTs \> 5 x ULN1 Cycle 2: Prior to each infusion; repeat every 2-4 days if LFTs \> 5 x ULN1

GENETIC

reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction

Data will be summarized by descriptive statistics relevant to each of the proposed pharmacodynamic studies.

Data will be summarized by descriptive statistics relevant to each of the proposed pharmacodynamic studies.

OTHER

immunohistochemistry staining method

The plasma concentration/ time data will be analysed using non-compartmental methods. The pharmacokinetic parameters to be determined for AEG35156 include the maximum observed plasma concentration (Cmax), the half-life (T1/2), and mean residence time (MRT).
