Brief Summary: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of perillyl alcohol in treating patients with refractory cancer Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

I Estimate the maximum tolerated dose of perillyl alcohol given chronically three times per day in patients with refractory malignancies

II Describe the toxic effects and pharmacokinetics associated with this regimen

III Evaluate any antitumor activity of perillyl alcohol in these patients IV Assess the ability of perillyl alcohol to induce tumor differentiation and reduce telomerase activity in patients from whom serial biopsies can be obtained

OUTLINE This is a dose escalation study to determine the maximum tolerated dose of perillyl alcohol

Groups of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of oral perillyl alcohol three times per day until the maximum tolerated dose or recommended phase II dose is determined Treatment at the assigned dose continues until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity intervenes Patients with stable disease after 8 weeks of treatment are removed from study

Patients are followed for duration of response and survival
