Brief Summary: RATIONALE Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die Combining more than one drug may kill more tumor cells

PURPOSE Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of combining irinotecan and gemcitabine in treating patients who have unresectable or metastatic solid tumors
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Determine the maximum tolerated dose MTD and the principal toxicities of irinotecan and gemcitabine in patients with surgically unresectable or metastatic solid tumors
Determine if the principal toxicities and MTD of this combination regimen are affected by drug sequencing in this patient population
Determine the potential for gemcitabine to alter the pharmacokinetic characteristics when administered with irinotecan in these patients
Describe the influence effected by varying the administration sequence of this combination regimen in this patient population
Obtain preliminary data regarding efficacy of this combination regimen in these patients

OUTLINE This is a dose-escalation study

Patients receive irinotecan IV over 90 minutes followed by gemcitabine IV over 30 minutes on days 1 and 15 Treatment repeats every 4 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity Once the maximum tolerated dose MTD is reached patients receive subsequent doses of the inverse sequence of the combination drugs until a new MTD is determined

Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of irinotecan and gemcitabine until the MTD is reached The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 3 or 2 of 6 patients experience dose limiting toxicities

Patients are followed every 3 months until death

PROJECTED ACCRUAL At least 12 patients will be accrued for this study
