Brief Summary: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of EMD 121974 in treating patients who have advanced solid tumors EMD 121974 may slow the growth of solid tumors by stopping blood flow to the tumor
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES
I Determine the toxic effects and maximum tolerated dose of EMD 121974 in patients with advanced solid tumors
II Determine the biologic activity of this drug in these patients III Determine the pharmacokinetic profile and plasma biological effects of this drug and identify any relationship with its biologic activity or observed toxicity in these patients
IV Determine preliminarily the antitumor efficacy of this drug in these patients
OUTLINE This is a dose-escalation study
Patients receive EMD 121974 IV over 1 hour twice weekly Courses repeat every 4 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity
Cohorts of 3-10 patients receive escalating doses of EMD 121974 until the maximum tolerated dose MTD is determined The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity
