Brief Summary: RATIONALE: Vatalanib and everolimus may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking blood flow to the tumor and by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of vatalanib and everolimus and to see how well they work in treating patients with advanced solid tumors.
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES: Primary * Determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of vatalanib and everolimus in patients with advanced solid tumors. * Determine the safety and tolerability of vatalanib and everolimus in patients with advanced solid tumors. * Evaluate the safety and tolerability of vatalanib and everolimus at the MTD in patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Secondary * Describe the non dose-limiting toxic effects associated with vatalanib and everolimus. * Describe the pharmacokinetics of vatalanib and everolimus in patients with advanced solid tumors. * Determine the functional extent of mTOR inhibition by changes in the phosphorylation status of S6K protein in peripheral blood mononuclear cells in patients treated with vatalanib and everolimus. * Describe any clinical responses seen in patients with metastatic RCC in a dose-expansion cohort treated at the MTD. * Observe overall survival of RCC patients treated with vatalanib and everolimus. * Determine the time to progression of patients with RCC treated with vatalanib and everolimus. OUTLINE: This is a phase I dose-escalation study followed by a phase Ib study. * Phase I (solid tumors): Patients receive oral vatalanib on days 1-28 and oral everolimus on days 15-28 during course 1 and on days 1-28 during all subsequent courses. Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 12 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of vatalanib and everolimus 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. * Phase Ib (renal cell carcinoma only): Patients receive oral vatalanib and oral everolimus at the MTD on days 1-28. Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 12 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed every 6 months. PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 44 patients will be accrued for this study.
