Brief Summary: RATIONALE Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die
PURPOSE Phase II trial to compare the effectiveness of docetaxel in treating Caucasian and African American patients who have solid tumors
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES
Compare the population pharmacokinetics of docetaxel in Caucasians and African American patients with solid tumors Compare the pharmacodynamic effect of a single dose of docetaxel in relation to hematological toxicity in these patient populations Determine the CYP3A4 genotype and P-glycoprotein P-gp expression and their relationship to docetaxel clearance in these patient populations
OUTLINE Patients receive docetaxel IV over 1 hour on day 1 Patients may receive additional courses beginning 21 days after the first docetaxel dose at the discretion of the physician
