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

I Determine the maximum tolerated dose and optimum schedule of tributyrin in patients with prostate cancer or other solid tumors

II Determine the toxic effects of tributyrin in these patients III Determine the pharmacodynamics of tributyrin including modulation of tumor markers evaluation of clinical remission when possible assessment of F-reticulocytes andor F cells and evaluation of hemoglobin F before and after treatment in these patients

IV Determine the pharmacokinetics of tributyrin including maximum plasma concentration terminal half-life area under the concentration time curve volume of distribution and clearance of butyrate in these patients

V Determine the relationship between the pharmacokinetics and toxic or therapeutic pharmacodynamic effects of butyrate in these patients

VI Calculate a tributyrin dose using results from pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic studies that achieves sustained butyrate concentrations capable of increasing therapeutic effects with reduced toxicity

OUTLINE This is a dose escalation study

Patients receive oral tributyrin every 8 hours for 3 weeks Treatment continues every 4 weeks for 2 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity Patients who achieve stable disease may receive additional courses at the discretion of the protocol chairperson Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of tributyrin until the maximum tolerated dose MTD is determined The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity
