Brief Summary:
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy such as sirolimus use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die.
PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of sirolimus in treating young patients with relapsed or refractory acute leukemia or non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
Detailed Description:
OBJECTIVES:
* Determine the maximum tolerated dose of sirolimus in pediatric patients with refractory or relapsed acute leukemia or non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
* Determine the dose-limiting toxic effects of this drug in these patients.
* Determine the trough levels produced by this drug in these patients.
* Determine the anti-leukemia/lymphoma activity of this drug in these patients.
OUTLINE: This is an open-label, dose-escalation study.
Patients receive oral sirolimus once daily on days 1-21. Courses repeat every 21 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of sirolimus until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 3 or 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity.
Patients are followed for survival.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 3-30 patients will be accrued for this study within 2 years.
