Brief Summary: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of E7389 in treating patients who have advanced solid tumors Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die
Detailed Description: PRIMARY OBJECTIVES
I To determine the maximum tolerated dose MTD of E7389 administered as an IV bolus over 1-2 minutes weekly for 3 weeks
II To describe the toxicities of E7389 III To evaluate the pharmacokinetics of E7389 IV To determine the in vivo anti-mitotic activity of E7389 by cell cycle analysis and immunohistochemistry in pre- and post-treatment tumor biopsies
OUTLINE This is a dose-escalation multicenter study
Patients receive E7389 IV over 1-2 minutes on days 1 8 and 15 Treatment repeats every 4 weeks for at least 4 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity
Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of E7389 until the maximum tolerated dose MTD is determined The MTD is defined as the dose at which no more than 1 of 6 patients experiences dose-limiting toxicity
