Summary

The purpose of this study is to test whether perifosine- a drug that inhibits the protein AKT, and has had some success in the treatment of adult cancers- is safe and effective in treating cancer. The investigators want to find out what effects, good and/or bad, it has on the patient and the cancer. The investigators are testing different dose schedules of perifosine and the patient will be asked to partake in one of the dose schedules.

Conditions

Interventions

DRUG

perifosine

Open label, phase I study of oral perifosine in recurrent/progressive pediatric solid tumors. This will be a dose escalation study to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of perifosine alone in recurrent/progressive pediatric tumors. A standard 3+3 dose escalation design will be employed with 3-6 patients at each dose level. All patients will receive perifosine at a loading dose on the first day, followed by a maintenance dose to start on day two until progression each patient will be assigned to a dosing group based on one's body surface area (BSA).
