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 tocladesine in treating patients who have recurrent or progressive metastatic colorectal cancer.
Detailed Description:
OBJECTIVES:
* Determine the maximum tolerated dose of tocladesine in patients with recurrent or progressive metastatic colorectal cancer.
* Determine the qualitative and quantitative toxicity of this drug in these patients.
* Assess any therapeutic activity in patients treated with this drug.
OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation, multicenter study.
Patients receive tocladesine IV continuously on days 1-5 and 8-12. Treatment repeats every 21 days for up to 10 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of tocladesine until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity. Once the MTD is determined, up to 14 additional patients are treated at this dose level.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 3-38 patients will be accrued for this study.
