Brief Summary: RATIONALE Perifosine may stop the growth of tumor cells by stopping blood flow to the tumor
PURPOSE Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of perifosine in treating patients who have advanced solid tumors
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES
Determine the maximum tolerated dose MTD of perifosine on a loading dosemaintenance dose schedule in patients with advanced solid tumors Determine the qualitative and quantitative toxic effects of this drug in these patients Determine the pharmacokinetics of this drug in these patients Investigate the relationship between pharmacokinetic parameters and toxicity of this drug in these patients Determine the recommended starting dose for phase II trials on this drug schedule in these patients Evaluate the pharmacodynamic parameters on peripheral blood lymphocytes both before and during drug administration in these patients Determine any changes in the MTD with prolonged administration 3 months 6 months of this drug in these patients
OUTLINE This is a dose-escalation study
Patients receive a loading dose of oral perifosine 4 times a day for 4-8 doses followed by a daily maintenance dose Treatment continues every 28 days in the absence of unacceptable toxicity or disease progression
Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating loading doses and maintenance doses of perifosine until the maximum tolerated dose MTD of each is determined The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxic effects
PROJECTED ACCRUAL Approximately 20-30 patients will be accrued for this study
