Brief Summary: RATIONALE Drugs used in chemotherapy such as pemetrexed disodium use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die Pemetrexed disodium may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking the enzymes necessary for their growth

PURPOSE This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of pemetrexed disodium in treating young patients with recurrent solid tumors
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Primary

Determine the maximum tolerated dose of pemetrexed disodium in children and adolescents with refractory solid tumors
Determine the dose-limiting toxic effects of this drug in these patients
Determine the pharmacokinetics of this drug in these patients

Secondary

Determine preliminarily the antitumor activity of this drug in these patients
Correlate the presence of the C677T polymorphism of the methylenetetrahydrolate reductase gene the presence of a polymorphism in the enhancer region of the thymidylate synthase TS gene promoter 2R and 3R tandem repeats the presence of a polymorphism within one of those repeats and the presence of a functional polymorphism in the 3-untranslated region with toxicity in patients treated with this drug
Correlate homocysteine and methylmalonic acid levels at study entry with toxicity in patients treated with this drug
Correlate various gene expression profiles with response in patients treated with this drug

OUTLINE This is a dose-escalation study

Patients receive pemetrexed disodium IV over 10 minutes on day 1 Courses repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity

Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of pemetrexed disodium until the maximum tolerated dose MTD is determined The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 3 or 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity

PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 3-36 patients will be accrued for this study within 1 year
