Study Overview

Brief Summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die.

PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of CCI-779 in treating patients who have advanced solid tumors.

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine the safety, tolerability, and maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of CCI-779 in patients with advanced solid tumors (part I) who are not receiving anticonvulsant therapy.
  • Determine the safety, tolerability, and MTD in patients with recurrent gliomas or brain metastases (part II) who are receiving anticonvulsant therapy.
  • Determine the preliminary pharmacokinetic profile and antitumor activity of CCI-779 in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is an open-label, dose-escalation study.

  • Part I: Patients receive CCI-779 IV over 30 minutes on days 1-5, followed by a 9 day rest period. Treatment courses repeat every 2 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

The maximum tolerated dose for part I is defined as the dose level at which 33% of patients experience dose limiting toxicity.
