Brief Summary: LErafAON is a liposome encapsulated c-raf antisense oligonucleotide Raf-1 is a protein produced by human cells both normal and cancerous which may help protect tumor cells from radiation Antisense oligonucleotides are very specific drugs which can decrease the amount of a certain target protein by blocking the gene that makes it Antisense oligonucleotide to raf gene can reduce the amount of Raf-1 protein in tumor cells Liposomes are tiny globules of fat which can carry drugs in the body The experimental agent LErafAON is composed of liposomes carrying antisense oligonucleotide against the Raf-1 protein It is hoped that decreased Raf-1 in the cancer cells will make them more sensitive to the radiation therapy

Patients with advanced solid tumors will receive IV infusions of LErafAON over at least 60 minutes once per week for 8 weeks In the absence of progression patients may continue on weekly treatment Pre-medications will be administered prior to each dose of study medication

Cohorts of at least three patients will be entered at escalating dose-levels Each cohort will be observed for at least ten days after receiving the first dose of treatment before additional patients are treated at a higher dose level Patients will be followed for one month after receiving the last dose of study medication The study will stop when a maximum tolerated dose MTD is identified Dose escalation within a patient will not be allowed
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES I Determine the toxicity and MTD of LErafAON when given by weekly IV infusion for 8 weeks in patients with advanced malignancies

II Characterize the plasma pharmacokinetics of LErafAON after IV infusion

III Document in vivo inhibition of Raf-1 protein by LErafAON

IV Detect anti-tumor effects of intravenous LErafAON

PROTOCOL OUTLINE This is a Phase I Maximum Tolerated Dose MTD study for patients with recurrent solid tumor malignancies Study medication will be administered by intravenous infusion over at least 60 minutes once per week for 8 weeks In the absence of progression patients may continue on weekly treatment Pre-medications will be administered prior to each dose of study medication Patients will be followed for one month after receiving the last dose of study medication Patients with Complete Response CR Partial Response PR or Stable Disease SD at the Week 8 disease assessment may continue to receive study medication until disease progression PD

Cohorts of at least three patients will be entered at escalating dose-levels Each cohort will be observed for at least ten days after receiving the first dose of treatment before additional patients are treated at a higher dose level Patients will be followed for one month after receiving the last dose of study medication The study will stop when a maximum tolerated dose MTD is identified Dose escalation within a patient will not be allowed

PROJECTED ACCRUAL Estimated enrollment is 15-35 patients 3 per dose level expanded to 6 if DLT occurs
