Brief Summary: RATIONALE Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die Combining more than one drug may kill more tumor cells

PURPOSE Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of epirubicin plus irinotecan in treating patients who have advanced cancer
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Determine the dose-limiting toxicity and maximum tolerated dose of epirubicin and irinotecan in patients with advanced cancer
Determine the objective antitumor responses in patients treated with this regimen
Determine the pharmacokinetics of this regimen in these patients

OUTLINE This is a dose-escalation study

Patients receive irinotecan IV over 1 hour followed by epirubicin IV over 5 minutes on days 1 and 8 Courses repeat every 4 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity

Sequential dose escalation of epirubicin is followed by sequential dose escalation of irinotecan Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of epirubicin and irinotecan 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 toxicity

PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 3-30 patients will be accrued for this study
