Brief Summary: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of 17-DMAG in treating patients with metastatic or unresectable solid tumors or lymphomas Drugs used in chemotherapy such as 17-DMAG work in different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die
Detailed Description: PRIMARY OBJECTIVES
I Determine the maximum tolerated dose of 17-dimethylaminoethylamino-17-demethoxygeldanamycin 17-DMAG in patients with metastatic or unresectable solid tumors or lymphomas
II Determine the safety and toxicity of this drug in these patients III Determine the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of this drug in these patients
IV Determine the recommended phase II dose of this drug for future studies
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES
I Determine tumor response in patients treated with this drug
OUTLINE This is a dose-escalation multicenter study
Patients receive 17-dimethylaminoethylamino-17-demethoxygeldanamycin 17-DMAG IV over 1-6 hours on days 1-3 or 1-5 Courses repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity Cohorts of 1-2 patients receive accelerated escalating doses of 17-DMAG until at least 1 of 2 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity DLT Cohorts are then expanded to 3-6 patients who receive escalating doses in a standard manner of 17-DMAG 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 DLT
