Study Overview

Brief Summary

RATIONALE: VEGF Trap may stop the growth of solid tumors or non-Hodgkin's lymphoma by stopping blood flow to the tumor.

PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of intravenous VEGF Trap in treating patients with relapsed or refractory advanced solid tumors or non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • Determine the safety and tolerability of intravenous VEGF Trap in patients with relapsed or refractory advanced solid tumors or non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

Secondary

  • Determine the maximum tolerated intravenous dose of this drug in these patients.
  • Determine the pharmacokinetics of this drug in these patients.
  • Determine the ability of this drug to bind circulating vascular endothelial growth factor in these patients.
  • Determine, preliminarily, the ability of this drug to alter tumor blood flow and tumor vascular permeability in these patients.
  • Determine whether antibodies to this drug develop in these patients.
