Summary

Background:

Mithramycin is a new cancer drug. In another study, people with chest cancer took the drug 6 hours a day for 7 straight days. Many of them had liver damage as a side effect. It was discovered that only people with certain genes got this side effect. Researchers want to test mithramycin in people who do not have those certain genes.

Objectives:

To find the highest safe dose of mithramycin that can be given to people with chest cancer who have certain genes over 24 hours instead of spread out over a longer period of time. To see if mithramycin given as a 24-hour infusion shrinks tumors.

Eligibility:

People ages 18 and older who have chest cancer that is not shrinking with known therapies, and whose genes will limit the chance of liver damage from mithramycin

Design:

Participants will be screened with:

* Medical history
* Physical exam
* Blood and urine tests
* Lung and heart function tests
* X-rays or scans of their tumor
* Liver ultrasound
* Tumor biopsy
* Participants will be admitted to the hospital overnight. A small plastic tube (catheter) will be inserted in the arm or chest. They will get mithramycin through the catheter over about 24 hours.
* If they do not have bad side effects or their cancer does not worsen, they can repeat the treatment every 14 days.
* Participants will have multiple visits for each treatment cycle. These include repeats of certain screening tests.
* After stopping treatment, participants will have weekly visits until they recover from any side effects.
