Brief Summary: RATIONALE Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die
PURPOSE Phase III trial to study the effectiveness of VX-853 in treating patients who have solid tumors who are receiving liposomal doxorubicin
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES I Determine the safety and tolerability of VX-853 in combination with doxorubicin HCl liposome in patients with relapsed or incurable solid tumors II Obtain pharmacokinetic profiles for various dosages of VX-853 administered in combination with doxorubicin HCl liposome III Achieve whole blood concentrations of VX-853 in the predicted therapeutically effective range and characterize the pharmacokinetics at these doses IV Document antitumor effects of VX-853 in combination with doxorubicin HCl liposome in these patients
OUTLINE This is a dose escalation study of VX-853 Patients receive VX-853 orally every 8 hours on days 1-3 and doxorubicin HCL liposome IV over approximately 15 minutes beginning 26 hours after starting VX-853 Treatment repeats every 3 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of VX-853 until the maximum tolerated dose MTD is determined The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 or more of 6 patients experience dose limiting toxicity
PROJECTED ACCRUAL A maximum of 45 patients will be accrued for this study within approximately 18 months
