Brief Summary: The goal of this clinical research trial is to study the effects of the FDA-approved drug temsirolimus using a new type of clinical study design called a Phase 0 This type of study may be able to predict if a drug can affect cancer and may be able to prevent potentially useful study drugs from being discarded before they are fully tested

The purpose of the study is not to treat the cancer but to help improve general cancer treatment knowledge
Detailed Description: Study Drug

Temsirolimus is designed to block the growth of cancer cells which may cause the cancer cells to die

Study Drug Administration

If you are found to be eligible to take part in this study you will receive temsirolimus by vein over about 60 minutes on Day 1

You will be assigned to a dose level of temsirolimus based on when you join this study Up to 5 dose levels of temsirolimus will be tested Up to 3 participants will be enrolled at each dose level The first group of participants will receive the lowest dose level Each new group will receive a higher dose than the group before it until the drug is found to affect the enzyme that was tested for at screening

Study Visits

At each study visit you will be asked about any drugs you may be taking and about any side effects you may be having

On Day 1

-Blood about 2 teaspoons each time will be drawn before you receive the study drug and 5 times over the 24 hours after you receive the study drug for pharmacokinetic PK testing PK testing measures the amount of study drug in the body at different time points

Blood about 4 teaspoons each time will be drawn for pharmacodynamic PD testing PD testing measures how the level of study drug in your body may affect the disease This blood will be drawn at 1 or more of the following times but if the doctor thinks it is needed blood will be drawn at 2 or all 3 of the following times

At 4 hours - 2 hours after the dose
At 24 hours - 3 hours after the dose
At 72 hours - 24 hours after the dose

After the blood for PD testing has been tested and the tests show that the study drug may be causing changes to the tumor cells in at least 2 out of 3 participants future participants will have tumor tissue collected before and after dosing for testing Leftover tissue from an earlier biopsy can be used instead of a fresh biopsy before dosing if it is available

Length of Study

You will be on study for up to 4 days You will be taken off study early if you have intolerable side effects

Because it takes 4 days for temsirolimus to be completely processed by the body you will not be able to begin receiving drugs in any other study until 4 days after the dose

This is an investigational study Temsirolimus is FDA approved and commercially available for the treatment of advanced renal cancer Its use in other types of cancer is investigational

Up to 30 patients will take part in this study All will be enrolled at MD Anderson
