Brief Summary: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of 3-AP in treating patients with advanced or metastatic solid tumors 3-AP may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES
I Determine the safety tolerability and toxicity of oral 3-AP in patients with advanced solid tumors
II Determine the maximum tolerated dose and recommended phase II dose of this drug in these patients
III Determine the oral bioavailability and pharmacokinetics of this drug IV Assess tumoral expression of genes involved in response and resistance to 3-AP
V Observe and record any tumor response in these patients
OUTLINE This is a multicenter dose-escalation study
Patients receive a one time dose of 3-AP IV over 2 hours on day -7 Patients then receive oral 3-AP twice daily on days 1-3 8-10 and 15-17 Treatment repeats every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of oral 3-AP 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 Blood samples for pharmacokinetic analysis are collected periodically over 8 hours after the IV dose of 3-AP and after the first oral dose of 3-AP during course 1
After completion of study treatment patients are followed periodically
