Brief Summary: RATIONALE Paricalcitol may cause cancer cells to look more like normal cells and to grow and spread more slowly Drugs used in chemotherapy such as gemcitabine work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing Giving paricalcitol together with gemcitabine may be an effective treatment for cancer

PURPOSE This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of paricalcitol when given together with gemcitabine in treating patients with advanced cancer
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Primary

Determine the maximum tolerated dose MTD of paricalcitol when given with gemcitabine in patients with advanced malignancy

Secondary

Determine safety and toxicity of this regimen in these patients
Determine the pharmacokinetics of these regimens in these patients
Determine the clinical outcome overall survival and best overall response of patients treated with this regimen

OUTLINE This is a dose-escalation open-label study

Patients receive gemcitabine IV over 80 minutes on days 1 8 and 15 and paricalcitol IV over 15 minutes on days 7 and 14 in course 1 Beginning in course 2 patients receive paricalcitol IV over 15 minutes on days 1 8 and 15 and gemcitabine IV over 80 minutes on days 2 9 and 16 Courses repeat every 4 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity

Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of paricalcitol 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 A minimum of 6 patients are treated at the MTD

After completion of study treatment patients are followed for survival

PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 44 patients will be accrued for this study
