Brief Summary: RATIONALE Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die
PURPOSE Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of carbendazim in treating patients who have advanced solid tumors
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES I Determine the maximum tolerated dose of oral carbendazim in patients with advanced solid tumors II Determine the qualitative and quantitative toxic effects of oral carbendazim in these patients III Characterize the pharmacokinetic profile of oral carbendazim in these patients IV Assess the recommended dose of oral carbendazim to be used in phase II studies V Determine preliminary evidence of antitumor activity of this regimen in these patients
OUTLINE This is a dose escalation study Patients receive oral carbendazim weekly for 3 weeks followed by 1 week of rest Treatment is repeated every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxic effects Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of carbendazim If dose limiting toxicity DLT is seen in 1 of 3 patients treated at a given dose level 3 additional patients will be entered at the same dose level Dose escalation continues until the maximum tolerated dose MTD is determined The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 6 patients experience DLT Patients are followed for up to 30 days posttreatment
PROJECTED ACCRUAL Up to 35 patients will be accrued for this study
